Liverpool rivals: Everton have announced they are assessing Amadou Onana amid interest from two Premier League clubs, while Manchester United suffer another setback
.
Amadou Onana could be sold by Everton this month if the asking price is met.
As Premier League clubs return to the FA Cup, Liverpool will continue to look to end the season on a high note.
Jurgen Klopp’s side qualified for Wembley in the Carabao Cup final and faced Championship side Norwich at Anfield.
It’s a home game for the Liverpool manager, who is on course to make it four competitions in the second half of the season after beating Arsenal in the third round.
Klopp, who has been ruled out of this weekend’s competition, is looking forward to another trip to Wembley.
Premier League (EPL) rivals Manchester City and Tottenham will meet in the fourth round.
In addition, one of Aston Villa and Chelsea, who face Liverpool at Wembley next month, will also be left out.
There is still a week left in the January transfer window, but there has been little activity in the Premier League’s top flight.
Could Liverpool or their title rivals be tempted to make a late move to boost their title chances?
Here at Liverpool.com, we look to the Premier League and other big teams in Europe for news from other clubs.
Let’s start with a comparison with Everton. Amadou Onana’s price will be decided by Everton.
Everton could consider a move for Amadou Onana before the end of the January transfer window, but the club would have to pay around $76 million to sign the Belgian midfielder.
Onana joined Lil Cheese in 2022 and is attracting attention from all over Europe.
According to Football Transfers, Arsenal were previously interested in a move for the 22-year-old and Newcastle are now interested.
There remains uncertainty over the future of Bruno Guimaraes and this has made Onana a target.
However, due to strict FFP limits, Newcastle are only willing to consider an early move, with a commitment to sign the midfielder permanently in the summer.
I don’t think Everton will be happy as they struggle to survive at the bottom of the Premier League.
Liverpool Home Shirt 2023/2024Liverpool’s 2023/24 home shirt pays tribute to Bill Shankly and the legendary Reds manager’s final season at Anfield.
The Nike jersey features a bright red design with a striking white contrast on the color and cuffs.
Prices start at €59.95NIKEHowever, Everton would only pay half of Onana’s price if the price was reached and would accept the deal after signing him from Lille, the report said.
Any deal would bring in some cash to bolster Shaun Dyche’s squad.
Liverpool.com says: Onana looks to be one of Everton’s biggest assets and could face a summer move even if he stays in the Premier League.
Everton’s asking fee shows how well they got Alexis McAllister compared to the price Liverpool paid.
It costs $45m (£35m/€41m) and, unlike Onana, is already a finished product.”Manchester United” suffered a “secret” defeat in a friendly match.
After the winter break, Manchester United prepared for their FA Cup friendly against Newport behind closed doors.
However, the match did not go to plan and the Red Devils lost to Burnley.
Burnley beat United for the second time in a “one-off” friendly, beating Erik Ten Hag’s side 3-0 at Carrington in August.
Harry Maguire, Luke Shaw and Casemiro could all return from injury.The Norwegian journalist Fredrik A.
Pilsvet, who beat United 3-1, are currently 19th in the Premier League.
The Ten Hag side will be hoping to bounce back from their disappointment against Division Four Newport this weekend.
Liverpool.com says: Closed friendlies are arranged to give players much-needed game time and results are not the priority.
However, this is not good news for Ten Haag, who will be looking to improve their form in the second half of the season.
United have won just one of their last six Premier League games and sit 11 points off the top four.
