After Caicedo: Liverpool can now meet £32m release clause for powerhouse defensive midfielder

Posted by
Sangare, Liverpool

Liverpool and Bayern continue to hold Ibrahim Sangare in mind this summer amid an ongoing search for a top holding midfielder.

PSV insider Rik Elfrink shared the news on X on Monday morning following the Reds’ failed attempt to land prominent Chelsea target Moises Caicedo.

It now looks the case that secondary target Romeo Lavia could follow suit after the Merseysiders briefly abandoned pursuit in favour of an opportunistic, last-ditch attempt to sign the Ecuadorian international.

With available pathways in the market dwindling, we simply can’t afford to dawdle and allow the gameweeks to pass by – particularly if our 1-1 draw with Chelsea at the weekend was any indication.

Liverpool’s need for a genuine number six is not only blatantly obvious but to prolong the wait to replace Fabinho beyond our next league meeting with Bournemouth would be tantamount to gross negligence at this stage.

At 25 years of age (and available for a release clause of £32.3m), we can have no qualms over the Eredivisie star’s level of experience and seniority, so the only question that remains is whether we perceive him to be a sound fit for our system and the demands of the English top-flight.

According to stats shared on FB Ref, the Ivorian excels across a range of key metrics in offensive actions, possession-based stats and defensive actions, ranking in the 92nd, 91st and 77th percentiles for non-penalty xG, progressive passing and tackling respectively.

Whatever the case, a decision is needed – and soon!

  1. Panic ! Panic ! Panic ! We are now in the headless chicken mode. About time our scouts and negotiators came up with the goods to justify their salaries

  2. Ibrahim Sangare has been available on a £32m release clause for ages, he is a very good DM & Ivory Coast International, Manu Kone is also a top class DM at Borussia Monchengladbach available for £35m (Jorg Schmadadke’s Son is their new Sporting Director) & Andre Trindade at Fluminense is the best DM in Brazil available for £35m……….so why have we wasted all of this time chasing Caicedo & Lavia?.

    Get you finger our Jorg!!!.

    1. Klopp is in shambles ! and he’s trying to drag the club down with him 🤐 So we had £110 million to spend on a caicedo who did not want the team…how disappointing. Why did klopp not meet laivia’s £50 million release clause and and aslo meet Gabriel veiga’s £40 million release clause, that would be £90 million and we would still have spare £20 million ! , add a anywhere between £10-20 million and sign a top defender… am I the only one seeing this ?
      Like you said , Andre is also there. A combination of Andre and Veiga would cost us just £75 million !

  3. Klopp is in shambles ! and he’s trying to drag the club down with him 🤐 So we had €110 million to spend on a caicedo who did not want the team…how disappointing.

  4. What is Jorge doing all this time? Get your ass moving Jorge!! With Edwards media didn’t even knew anything and signings were announced without any fanfare!!!He needs to sort 2 of those DM and a CB or RB

  5. Liverpool been partially sloppy on the transfer market…..but Klop is no novice ….some criticisms levelled against him is unfair under the circumstances …..he is a master in developing candidate footballers into professionals….with time not on his side he still has options…..
