just found out that sergio ramos has 180 caps for spain. man this is a missed opportunity. because he will loose atleast 5 caps. also for the future it would have been easy to chase 200.
Liverpool FC signed Ibrahima Konate, RB Leipzig Centre-Back on 5 year deal and transfer around $50 million ($44 million + $6 million add-ons). Watched few of the highlights. He is strong & fast . Looks like a good signing.
RB Leipzig paid less than $1 million transfer fee to FC Sochaux and made more than 40m profit.
Lot of public mainly Germany football fans criticized RB Leipzig when they invested heavily on transfer fees. (Timo Werner from VfB Stuttgart and Dayot Upamecano & Naby Keita from RB Salzburg ). But now, they made profits on all these players.
Is konate really worth 50 Million or is it a panic buy from Liverpool. Not undermining his ability but 50 million for a 22 year old uncapped defender is bit high.
It's the going rate for players now. It's €40 million Euros, with his wages £70K being fairly modest. With agent, intermediaries and add-one, it may reach €49 million.
I wouldn't classify it as a panic but seeing as the transfer window has not even started. They could have signed Kabak for around half of Konate's rate but chose not to. They also probably don't want to wait until the U21 Euros are over where his transfer fee could go up.
Finally, when Liverpool identifies a player they absolutely must have, they will pay the money. VvD (75), Alisson (67), Keita (52.5), Fabinho (40) etc. not everyone will work out and IMO, Konate's injury record is a concern.
Brentford qualified to English Premier League after winning play off final against Swansea ( 2-0) . Last year, Brentford lost play-off final against Fulham. They are consistent, mostly sign sensisble players, offensive team and they deserve to be in EPL.

Once this champions league ends
Chelsea players have lot of pace, played very well and nullified City attack in entire first half.
Along with City & Liverpool, Chelsea would be one of the top contender in premier league
