Liverpool have landed a major transfer coup by pulling off the capture of the hottest prospect in Spanish football – Atletico Madrid’s Saul Niguez.
Niguez, currently on loan at Rayo Vallecano, had been tipped to join David Moyes’ Manchester revolution, but there was also known interest from Arsenal and Real Madrid. The news from Merseyside is that Brendan Rogers has beaten them all to the 19 year old’s signature.
The Spanish Under-21 international has been a revelation at Vallecano this season. With a maturity beyond his years, he has grabbed games by the scruff of the neck and has been the stand out player in his relegation threatened team.
Saul is a pacey attacking midfielder, with great technical ability and a love of taking players on. The one thing that he is lacking is a deadly finish, but his role will be to provide the through balls for Suarez and Sturridge to finish off.
Liverpool manager Rodgers has been holding talks with Niguez’s father on Merseyide, and personal terms have been agreed. The only stumbling block now is the price. It is believed that Niguez has a €20M release clause, but Liverpool’s initial bid is thought to be juts over half of that. A payment of around €16M will see Saul make his move away from Atletico before the transfer window shuts. Expect to see Niguez pulling on the famous red shirt against Pepe Mel’s West Bromwich Albion next Sunday.
I rather think we have been here before…..Let us wait and see
there is news that salah still might come to liverpool . its the best option than chelsea as he wont get ahead of hazard,willian,oscar. unless they want to use him as a striker

Well it looks like chelsick wiil out bid us again with 20mil. Should keep our targets ush ush YNWA
Men you writers are even making thing difficult for people,just minute ago i read that Lfc are in talks with the player (Niguez) and now again same writers is saying that lfc have pull off of the Niguez deal,and if Lfc are not serious about signing any player please they ( Lfc) should go to their bed and sleep then give other serios minded club a chance to do their business in football and not giving me a sleepless night because am tired of hearing all this stories then at last some other club will come from behind and take the player from our hand,how many players since last transfer window we (Lfc) have been going after at last we could not pay but rodgers will be complaining of thin squad and once any of our (Lfc) got injured then no one to take his place,what is all this rubbish.
i was excited that liverpool was getting salah . it made me so mad that chelsea came in for him. i wanted to punch something
would be amazing transfer, but cant see it happening probably go somewhere else while we dither over 2 million
For almost 30 players linked to liverpool this January and nothing looks serious fsg sucks They can’t splash out money on players who can improve the squad only want cheap players on low wages how (br) say if no player of the rihgt type will available then blood lfc youngsters when he has feld to do that and having loosing against good sides because of having a weak side.
DON’T BUY NIGUEZ(LOOKS LIKE A SPANISH STEWART DOWNING TO ME) BUY OLIVER TORRES C.M. & MARIO FERNANDES R.B.
We should get M’Villa & Sheridan as priorities then this player and that would show that we have a real intent on challenging for the prem or achieving a top four spot! But we need to move quickly! Come on you deal makers, GET THESE TRANFRES SORTED!
Do other clubs get linked to everybody who’s ever kicked a football? I’ve never heard of this guy, and suddenly he’s going to be the savior of the club? Every day its somebody new, and in the end we get either someone who is injured most of the time or else is a kid who isn’t up to it. Now if this happened once or twice, you’d say “that’s a sign that we’re paying at the right level.” If it never happened, it’d mean we were paying too much. but when it always happens, it means we aren’t willing to pay enough to get players who can actually perform for a season. This is NOT “refusing to pay over the odds”. It’s being penny wise pound foolish.
Seriously, i dont think liverpool have the money to buy anyone. I dont think FSG want to invest too heavily and dont want to admit it in case of a supporter backlash.
There are plently of quality players out there ready to be snapped up at fair prices, better than the crap that rodgers brought in.
El shaarawy – £20-£25 mil
Xherdan Shaqiri – £15-£18 mil
Lorenzo Insigne – £12-£15 mil
Casemiro – £6-£10 mil
These prices may look high but mark my words, they will be alot higher in 12 months time.
With the high tax in france (75%) i would be guessing players in the french league will want to move to pay less tax and there are some great players in france that can be brought cheap.
A tough Jan transfer window is no excuse, they had 6 months to scout and should have been ready on the 1st jan to negotiate a deal.
Im fed up with liverpool not acting fast enough in the market.
no chance fsg will not pay
This man should stop play with my family.If we are not qualify again this season then we are not going to continue with BR and liverpool.how should we continue search players 4 other clubs to buy with stupid BR. Economize??? Hell with u
look its like this ,as much as i love the pool we dont have the financial clout to compete with the top clubs. its always the same as soon as lfc show an interest in some player we get gazumpt, we need a chinese billionair to take us back to where we belong. at the end of the day its arich clubs game to be able to compete now and to give huge contracts to their best players. look at rooneys new deal.
i do not believe it until i see it,i have known liverpool they some thing and do some thing else we are just fed up with promises that are not there.
The main scout for Liverpool is Barry hunter ,,, and look what he’s got us ?? A load of so.called players for the future ,, all going out on loan so that’s why the money ain’t there ,, Barry hunter ye couldn’t find an elephant in the snow with diarerria ,,
BR has said that he is looking for impact players….I doubt this guy fits the bill. BR wants someone who is fast, creative, skillful n can SCORE. Anyone less than Sterling will not be considered. (He is a good summer signing though.). I say BR sign a DM first, coz we miss LuCas big time.
Well…. I am from Asia and honestly maybe Salah not comong to Liverpool could be a blessing…. not a punt on the player, but Salah, that name in Malay means wrong, incorrect…. so maybe it’s a good sign
Going to Chelsea – FORGET IT
We are not buying players only if there loan players or free or swap deal FSG joke LIARS
Enough of sleepless nights I have had waiting for pronouncement by LFC about worthy singnings 2 make us real top 4 team. Rogers & owners keep deceiving us linking all the good players in Europe like they meant it, but I’m sure they don’t have lfc in their mind like they claim, that’s why they are not making better signings & have not even signed this window, to be candid, LFC owners are only using the club to make money from sponsorship& do not believe in achieving purpose for Liverpool & making ur return to Elite Football category.” A stich in time saves nine”
Ever since ousamma asaidi scored 4 stoke against chelsea mourinho was out 4 liverpool he sent bertrand to aston villa a week before we had to play them then he went 4 salah a transfer lfc wanted then sold mata to united to try and break us so what’s next I also think we should get at least 2 transfers in but doubht fsg hv money and if they fsg wanne keep suarez they best start making a big statement and buy big name players I think players like lucas borini assaidi alberto suso aspas henderson should jst leave the club we need big name players to cum and join the club we need to qualify 4 the cl if we don’t do it now next season will be tougher and teams will be stronger we in 4th now so buy nw and get us to the cl but buying rubbish players not a plan so when u go out and buy top players keep ur mouth closed do it backdoor plz bcoz if suarez goes we back to square one thankx use it
Stupid transfer strategy.
That being said,
I am and will always be a Liverpool fan though how stupid their managing and scouting team are.
God bless us Liverpool fans.
