Liverpool one step closer to signing DREAM midfielder after €150m FSG move

FSG’s proposed new takeover at another club could take Liverpool a step closer to signing a dream midfielder for Arne Slot’s side.

Ever since Michael Edwards has returned to work for Liverpool again, it has become obvious that FSG want to establish the multi-club system for Liverpool.

Edwards’ new role is a giveaway. He’s the Director of Football Operations not just for Liverpool but for FSG, working directly for the club’s owners.

Edwards admitted that one of the reasons why he came back was because of FSG’s desire to buy another club. It’s now been over a year but nothing has materialised so far.

FSG exploded a move for Bordeaux but were ultimately priced out, due to the club’s high costs for renting their own stadium.

Malaga CF has also been considered but again nothing has materialised. Instead it looks like Getafe CF could be the winner in the race.

The Times has confirmed that FSG are considering a takeover at Getafe, with the La Liga side currently being on the market and catching Liverpool’s attention.

This deal could be worth €150m according to the latest reports in Spain.

Have a multi-club system in place - with a team like Getafe could benefit the Reds in multiple ways but most notably it’s through recruitment.

Liverpool have a brilliant scouting department with some of the best minds in the game.

But sometimes, Liverpool aren’t always able to recruit the best young players because they do not offer a pathway into playing regular minutes at first team level.

With their purchase of Getafe, FSG would be able to provide a pathway and invest in talent who are more long-term and don’t quite have the ability to play for Liverpool in that moment but could do so in the future.

At Getafe they’ll undoubtedly make a number of changes. However, one player could stay because he’s simply perfect for Liverpool.

His name is Christantus Uche and he’s one of the best young midfielders in La Liga.

Uche stands at 1.90 metres and he’s only turned 22-years-old in May so he’s actually younger than Harvey Elliott and Jarell Quansah in the current Liverpool squad.

Impressively last season he made the most goal contributions for Getafe (13), so he knows how to make an impact in front of the opposition’s box.

A brilliant technical player, the Nigerian is really good at using his body to beat players and draw fouls.

He’s a dream player to have for any coach because of his versatility. Uche can play as no.10, as a box-to-box midfielder and potentially even as a striker - which is where he started his career.

That was when he was still playing amateur football - only three years ago. Which just goes to show how raw and yet how impressive of a talent he is.

Already a number of top European and Premier League clubs are looking at him. However, if FSG takeover, they will be in no rush to sell.

Because they’ll know in Uche they will have an asset who could play for Liverpool in the long-term future.

Which is why if FSG’s takeover of Getafe is complete, Liverpool will have gotten one step closer to getting a potentially dream midfielder for Arne Slot.
