Sanchez, Fred and now Jorginho. Those deals were completed but they got fkd at the last moment by other teams.

City are only willing to sign players who actually want to play with them. If they pull out at the last minute as a ploy to demand higher wages and transfer fees, they are more then welcome to go to another club. If Jorginho is only focused on money and would rather not play Champions League next season, he's more than welcome to go to Chelsea :)

In this day and age there is no such thing as loyalty... you go get what you can and football comes second.

Sanchez on the other hand had a opportunity to 1. Earn more at United, play CL, push for the title. What's the difference if he went to City or United? Money.

West Ham have increased their offer for Felipe Anderson to €40million plus a bonus arrangement depending on a number of appearances, according to Sky in Italy.

Lazio president Claudio Lotito has asked €50m for the midfielder but is likely to accept €40m with an easily achievable bonus scheme.

Talks will continue in the coming days.

Alisson: Liverpool make offer to sign Roma goalkeeper

Liverpool have made an offer to sign Roma's Alisson for a reported £62m, a world record fee for a goalkeeper.

Roma are considering the bid but no deal has been agreed and the Italian side are said to want £66m.

Alisson has recently returned from the World Cup in Russia where he appeared for Brazil.

The 25-year-old has been at Roma for two years, and played 37 Serie A games last season, after starting his career at Brazilian side Internacional.

Liverpool's bid, which is 70m euros, would overtake the current record for a keeper - 53m euros paid by Juventus to Parma for Gianluigi Buffon in 2001.

The Premier League record for a keeper is the 40m euros Manchester City paid Benfica for Ederson in June 2017.

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp was forced to defend goalkeeper Loris Karius last week after another mistake - this time in a pre-season friendly against Tranmere.

The 25-year-old German spilled a free-kick that allowed the hosts to score in Liverpool's 3-2 win at Prenton Park.

Karius was at fault for two goals in Liverpool's 3-1 defeat by Real Madrid in the Champions League final, but it was later found that he had concussion.

Alisson played all five games, keeping three clean sheets, as Brazil were knocked out at the quarter-final stage of the World Cup by Belgium.

Rhian Brewster signs long-term deal at Liverpool

Liverpool forward Rhian Brewster has ended speculation about his future by signing a long-term deal with the club.

It's the 18-year-old's first professional contract and puts an end to talk of him leaving Anfield.

Brewster had been linked with a host of clubs including Paris Saint-Germain, Juventus and Barcelona and had already turned down the chance to move to Germany, where both Borussia Monchengladbach and RB Leipzig were interested.

This seems to be the way they do business. All of their signings last season were made in late August, first on the 23rd while Serge Aurier and Fernando Llorente arriving on deadline day. Moussa Sissoko arrived on deadline day in 2016/17.

Also, the general way they conduct business means they are not going to be throwing money around and will instead let the big spenders take centre stage while they do due diligence. Example of this is the sale and signing of Walker and Aurier. They sold Walker over a month before they signed Aurier.

Jack Grealish seems to be their current focus as the English transfer window closes on 9 August, so perhaps they're focusing on that first.
