LFC wants Lewy badly (teamTALK)
It appears that the rumors linking Bayern Munich star Robert Lewandowski to Liverpool FC are all the rage:
Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is pushing to be reunited with an “old acquaintance” next summer, according to a source in Spain. Bayern Munich striker Robert Lewandowski has been linked with the Reds, who have been named as “one of the major stakeholders in taking the services of Lewandowski”.
Next summer Liverpool will apparently make a move for the 33-year-old, as per Fichajes. The source claim the Reds are looking at the Poland striker as a serious option next summer after an uneventful transfer window this summer.

The Daily Star tried to sort out how Klopp would use Lewandowski and came up with these three options:
Option One: 4-3-3
Starting XI: Alisson, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Ibrahima Konate, Virgil Van Dijk, Andy Robertson, Fabinho, Thiago, Jordan Henderson, Mo Salah, Robert Lewandowski, Sadio Mane.
Option Two: 4-4-2
Starting XI: Alisson, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Ibrahima Konate, Virgil Van Dijk, Andy Robertson, Fabinho, Thiago, Jordan Henderson, Diogo Jota, Mo Salah, Robert Lewandowski.
Option Three: 4-3-3
Starting XI: Alisson, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Joel Matip, Virgil Van Dijk, Andy Robertson, Fabinho, Thiago, Jude Bellingham, Mo Salah, Robert Lewandowski, Sadio Mane.
If you notice “Option Three”, it includes Borussia Dortmund’s Jude Bellingham. That would be quite a transfer haul for Liverpool next summer, eh?

According to International Business Times, Boateng turned down a potentially bigger salary in favor of a cleaner path to playing time:
According to Bild, the center-back turned down a return to the English Premier League and joined Lyon instead. It was suggested that Boateng was offered an unspecified but big salary offer to join the Wanderers. With names like Jose Sa, Hwang Hee-Chan and Francisco Trincao already in the fray, playing time could be a reason behind Boateng’s decision.
