The Telegraph are reporting that Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is hoping to have player sales this summer that could raise £100M in transfer funds into the club.
And Danny Ings, who has already asked to leave Anfield this summer, is one of the players available.
The report lists Loris Karius, Divock Origi, Danny Ings, Sheyi Ojo, Lazar Markovic and Pedro Chirivella as players who could be sold this summer.
But the last we heard on Ings’ transfer fee was that it was a massive £20M for a player who has had some severe injuries in his three years at the Anfield club.
Danny Ings – £20M plus for this striker
And the Telegraph are reporting that Liverpool will demand £20M plus add-ons for Ings with Crystal Palace and Southampton the other two Premier League clubs interested.
That’s in contrast to what Liverpool paid out to Burnley for Ings three years – £6.5M with an extra £1.5M in player performance-related bonuses.
Rafa Benitez has been interested in the Liverpool striker for the last two transfer windows, and he would seem to fit in well at Newcastle as the man up front.
And Rafa has contacts at Liverpool and is highly respected for everything he did while the manager at the Reds for six successful years.
But there’s very little chance that Rafa will be able to buy Ings and he could try the season-long loan route with an option to buy him next summer if he does well.
But Liverpool seem to want to do a permanent transfer for Ings this summer.
At one point earlier this summer, there was news that Liverpool would let him go for £9M but that doesn’t seem to be the case.
Danny is a risk at a high £20M after suffering two ACL knee injuries while at Liverpool.
What do you think?

North Korea haven’t agreed to anything yet, they had a meeting and long way to go before lauding him for any positive results, meanwhile he’s backed out of deal with Iran and sided with putin in terms of NATO. Wouldn’t say we are safer, not by a long shot

Comment #42MickyZee – and he’s doing it all from the comfort of Putin’s back pocket. Trump doesn’t even know where his own father was born. Does he seem like the kind of person who should be making decisions for the safety of our planet? He can’t even accept global warming!

Comment #43Hibbit; I know your not trying to influence anyone. Getting rid of my season ticket was a tough decision to make after a lifetime of going to the match. I reckon nobody makes the decision without a load of soul searching.
I’m gutted I chucked it but the events of the transfer window have made it easier to bare.
I hope I’m wrong but I dont see anything changing.

Comment #44Carlsberg, to be fair to them have got away with the biggest and cleverest advertising scam in history. To claim that their beer is probably, which leaves it totally down to opinion, the best beer in the world, when in fact it is 3.8% and absolute crap.
Off topic I know, but then again so is Trump

But they are communicating which can only be a positive, and communicating is a lot more than what most have achieved.

I don’t care about his father or where he was born, and as for Putin, as with the North Koreans, best get them onside rather than against you, as outlandish as it may sound, he could in some really weird way turn out to be a godsend, now who would have thought that, not saying he will be, but at present we can’t say he won’t be.

Comment #47Mickey Zee,
They haven’t spoke since the end of the season, he hardly spoke to Keegan either, I think Pardew achieved most in terms of communication and that’s because he was a lickspittle.

Comment #50With the intention of Speaking to Mike Ashley’s secretary.. Spoke with her many times, I rang Head office SD today.
Trying to find out why the Newcastle United Replica shirts were ten quid more than any other premier league club replica shirt, and how much Newcastle United recieve from said sales and how much of the money was going to Ashley and SD shareholders pockets.. cheeky but so what.
She was out and about so I spoke to the 2nd sec… info was not forthcoming so I went off on a different tack asking if there was any talk or Rumours or gossip of Newcastle United bieng Sold .
I also said , I realise you will not be able to divulge anything to me but if you were to not answer my question and stay silent for 7 seconds it would mean that we are in the process of bieng Sold
I Asked her the Question .. I counted 7 seconds ..she was totally silent then said ..OK? I said thanks . Goodbye.

Thank you for bringing me back onto football, yeah I’m aware that Ash and Rafa may not be on the best of terms, don’t know about yourself but I cannot understand how some can still sympathise with Ashley, lies and deceit after more lies and more deceit, he is now promising Rafa so many millions but he will only release the cash when Rafa signs on the dotted line, to me this promise sounds familiar, Rafa has sussed him and won’t sign and he will be off next summer because Ash won’t sell either, who would sell a golden goose.

Comment #57So possible in coming strikers are Ings, Rondondon da doo rondon, and Welbeck…..
This is probably not a popular opinion, bit to me thats a no brainer. Welbeck scores guals when he gets a run in a team. Hes a natural finisher. Yes, he has injury doubts, but still a safer bet on that front than ings. There are plenty of worse options than Welbeck imo.

Howay mate, give me a fighting chance, how on earth am I supposed to know the answer to your question, but talking surely had got to be better than not talking, it’s not a guarantee of success, but not talking is a guarantee of failure.

The important question is though, did she count Mississippi-ly? Need to know this as if she didn’t, then she didn’t remain silent for 7 seconds and therefore it means no sale of club. Think you should call them back to check.

Since Rafa arrived, he’s made the club nearly £20m in transfers alone – achieving promotion back to the Premier League and a top ten finish in the midst.

It’s quite incredible that you have a manager that can make you money, guarantee you success and have the fans love him and buy even more shirts and tickets but would rather employ someone the fans don’t like that will end in disaster.

No , no digs at the Lads who kept us fed with snippets that they heard ..kept us entertained ..I had the thought back then that they had been fed duff info by Ashley’s propaganda depth..
I would have reported it just like they did .
We may argue and not get on with the odd writer on here but we all come round in the end as we all have a bond. We all want the same thing so it’s healthy.

Comment #74Right chaps I’m just about to give that nice Mr Ashley £4.95 of my hard earned pension money so I can watch tonight’s match.
I realise that might incur some disapproval from some but I’m certain that some of that money will be given to that difficult Mr Benitez to buy some new players so I don’t feel too guilty about my actions.
