Liverpool’s Euro rivals: Another team could join the race for Jamal Musiala as Barcelona’s latest wonderkid sets new records.
Liverpool made a fine return from the international break with a win over Everton in the Merseyside derby on Saturday. With Arsenal conceding a point to Chelsea, Manchester United remain just one point behind leaders Manchester City and maintain their claim as title contenders.
Tottenham will certainly have the chance to return to the top of the table tonight, but Jurgen Klopp will likely be very pleased with his side’s opening performance. Liverpool could have a huge advantage going into this week’s next round of European fixtures.
United return to Europa League action on Thursday against Toulouse at Anfield. A win over the French side would put Liverpool in danger of qualifying for the knockout stages, with a top-flight finish becoming a priority to avoid missing out on the play-offs.It will be interesting across the continent as Liverpool are linked with a move for Jamal Musiala, while other teams could be fighting for his signature.
Meanwhile, Barcelona have signed a new player and he is wasting no time in making his mark.
Manchester City are considering signing Jamal MusialaManchester City are interested in Jamal Musiala, with Liverpool eyeing a potential move, according to Football Insider.
City are reportedly considering a move for the Bayern Munich star, while Liverpool are investigating the player. Both sides have been told that the 20-year-old is trying to agree a new contract in Germany, where his current deal expires in 2026. This is definitely a talent to keep an eye on. If he leaves, the price has already been set, according to Fichajes: at least $106 million.
Liverpool.com says: Musiala is one of the best young prospects in Europe and it would be a coup for Liverpool to sign him. But if City are interested, signing him will certainly not be easy.
However, there is still a lot of water under the bridge and any suggestion that Musiala would leave Bayern could be a way to secure a better contract for the club. It may take a while because it’s hard to see them leaving in January.
