They are tasked with somehow replacing the King of Egypt this summer. This is their own impossible mission, made even more difficult by the fact that they also need to sign another centre-back.<\/p>\n<p>The Anfield outfit have turned their attention to the Serie A star, with Ibrahima Konate set to leave as a free agent this summer.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- No AdsNinja v10 Client! --><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"liverpool-burst-into-race-to-sign-ndicka\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Liverpool_enter_race_to_sign_Ndicka\"><\/span>\n                        <strong>Liverpool enter race to sign Ndicka<\/strong><br \/>\n               <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>As reported by Caught Offside, Liverpool are currently in the race to sign Evan Ndicka ahead of Spanish giants Barcelona, \u200b\u200band are hoping to one-up their European rivals.<\/p>\n<div class=\"display-card  article article-card small  no-badge  active-content                      \" data-include-community-rating=\"false\" id=\"michael-olise-liverpool-transfer-stance-bayern-munich\" data-nosnippet=\"\">\n<picture><source media=\"(max-width: 480px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.footballfancastimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/michael-olise-in-action-for-bayern-munich.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=140&amp;h=98&amp;dpr=2\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.footballfancastimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/michael-olise-in-action-for-bayern-munich.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=140&amp;h=98&amp;dpr=2\"\/>\n        <\/picture>\n<p>                    <span data-field=\"label\" class=\"article-card-label\"><label>related<\/label><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"w-display-card-content regular article-block\">\n<h5 class=\"display-card-title \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Michael_Olise_clarifies_Liverpools_transfer_stance_as_Bayern_Munich_set_exorbitant_price\"><\/span>\n<p>\t\t\tMichael Olise clarifies Liverpool&#8217;s transfer stance as Bayern Munich set exorbitant price<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n<p class=\"display-card-excerpt\">The former Crystal Palace star has attracted attention at Bayern.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>AS Roma may have no choice but to sign the defender after reaching a financial agreement with UEFA that could require them to sell key players by June 30th.<\/p>\n<p>If that happens, Liverpool could match Roma&#8217;s offer of 45 million euros (approximately 3.9 billion yen) with a bargain deal when the transfer window opens.<\/p>\n<div class=\"table-container\">\n<table border=\"1\" cellpadding=\"1\" cellspacing=\"1\" style=\"\" align=\"\" summary=\"\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th scope=\"col\">\n<p>25\/26 League Statistics<\/p>\n<\/th>\n<th scope=\"col\">\n<p>come<\/p>\n<\/th>\n<th scope=\"col\">\n<p>Only those in the know know<\/p>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p>minutes<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p>2,106<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p>2,487<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p>tackle<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p>19<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p>47<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p>Successful duel<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p>58.9%<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p>68.8%<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p>collect<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p>108<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p>92<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p>clean sheet<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p>10<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p>7<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table><\/div>\n<p>Ndicka is a cheap signing, but Liverpool should question his underlying numbers.
