New Perspective

Modern AU! Steve Rogers x Reader

Summary: Life seems to be falling apart around you as your husband of three years suddenly reveals an affair, and seeks a divorce. Your perfect life is flipped upside down with his revelation and you have to learn how to be you again. An unforeseen friendship starts to bloom between you and your neighbors new lover, but will these late night rooftop rambles be enough to keep you from going completely batshit crazy in the turmoil of your life?

part 01/?? “no sunshine”

word count 4.2k

an: hehehehe...... this is vastly different than anything i’ve ever written. lemme know what you think ok :) also this is the song mentioned in the story. its beautiful. please listen to it. this song got me through some wicked times. but it sets the tone for where someones mind is at in this.

The only thing people dreaded more in the morning then running late, missing their bus, or possibly anything that could go wrong that early in the day is the sound of the alarm that rings through your phone. It’s scientifically proven that 53% of people feel absolute dread when the incesstuous beeping that comes out of the tiny device startles them awake. But there are people who wake up before it even starts, already anticipating that god awful sound to start their day. You were one of those people as of late.

Before the sun had risen over the building around you and peeked into your bedroom, you were awake. You honestly couldn’t say if you had fallen asleep or not. Your eyes felt exceptionally dry but that could have been from the crying rather than the lack of sleep. But still, you watched your screen illuminate the room and ring loudly to let you know it was 7 am. You had to drag your hand to cancel it, and laid on your side for a few moments after.

You weren’t ready to “conquer the day”. You wanted it to disappear and you along with it. Unfortunately, life wasn’t as graceful to you as you hoped. Or else none of this would even be happening. You wouldn’t be lying here in the dark having to accept the fact your husband of three years was having strangers come and move all his stuff out. You wouldn’t have to be living with the fact that he wants a divorce and instead wants to be with the woman he cheated on you with. No, life was a piece of shit. Shit shit shit shit shit.

You pushed yourself up and rubbed at your face to try and get any kind of feeling back into it, or maybe just back into you. You threw the cover off your body to get out of bed, and fixed it right back to where it was perfectly neat. You hovered for a moment, your eyes going over the unslept side of the bed that he used to sleep in. It was perfectly intact, his dent almost completely faded away by now. It broke your heart to look at so you got dressed as fast as you could and went to the living room.

His boxes littered every square inch of the apartment, it was like climbing mountains for you to reach the small kitchen to get some kind of caffeine in you. But when you finally popped that K-Cup into the machine and it made you a steaming hot cup of coffee, you let it warm every inch of your body. By the time you finished the cup of coffee there was a knock on your door, and you knew it was the movers. You placed the empty mug down into the sink and then trampled over a few more lines of boxes before you could throw the door open.

There stood about three men, and one handed you something to sign, and you did. Almost immediately after handing them back the clipboard they came in and got to work. You watch in silence as they take load after load of the boxes around the room, and out the door to the van outside. Each trip makes your heart break a little more, because the room gets more and more empty as they go. He had a lot more possessions than you thought. It was making the apartment look sad and empty. Not like the home it once was.

They went room by room until they made it to the bedroom. All there was in the boxes was his clothes, every last one of them. With each mountain of boxes that left, you saw the last and final one, with your wedding album sticking out the very top one. At least he was taking that with him. Maybe . . . Maybe he would look at it and just remember what you two had.

You watched them load that stack onto a dolly and felt prompted to follow them out. Though they took the elevator and you went for the stairs, you nearly met face to face near the entrance to the building. You trailed after the men and noticed the rain that was pouring outside, and then one of them suddenly stopped in front of you.

“He told us to make sure you held onto this,” the man said, and before you knew it he was shoving the wedding album in your arms. You grabbed it quickly since the man was pushing the dolly out into the rain. Your feet only brought you as far as the threshold, and you leaned against the doorway and watched them quickly back up those last few boxes. You felt your hand shaking before you, and tightened your grip on the album in your arms, watching as they loaded themselves in and drove away with the last remnants of your marriage.

You listened to the patter on the rain on the street as it sunk in for you that that was it. He didn’t want to work on it, he just wanted out. And now he was out. Gone. And you were alone. You peeled yourself off the doorway and took a step back into the building, and closed the door shut. Closed yourself in from the world. With the wedding album in your hand, you walked back up the stairs and to your apartment, letting the door close behind you.

Oh god it was so empty. The walls looked stripped without the photos that once decorated them; you could see the shadows that were once there. The couch that was in the living room looked lonely without the armchair he took with him, but it was so . . . just so barren.

You looked at the time on the microwave. 10:05. God, not even a lot of time passed by. What were you going to do all day? You couldn’t stay here. That was definitely not the answer. You walked back to your room and snatched your phone from the bedside table and dialed the only number you knew by heart (besides his), and it rang a few times. But once you heard the voice on the other end you relaxed your shoulders.

“I was wondering when you were going to call,” Natasha’s voice rang in your ear. You smiled a bit, though you were actively fighting tears back. “Did they leave already?”

“Yeah.” You nodded. “Yeah they’re gone. Everythings gone.”

“Did he-”

“No,” you cut her off, already knowing her question. “No, he didn't come.”

“Bastard,” she mumbled, and you rubbed your hand on your pants, “Well, Wanda and I were meeting for brunch. Want to meet us?”

“God yes,” you pleaded, already up and grabbing a jacket to wear. “Cafeteria?”

“Always,” Natasha answered and said her goodbyes and you were out the door. As you were locking your apartment you spun around and hit a body.

“Geez, I’m sorry-” you trailed off as you were met with the stare from your neighbor, Sharon.

“No worries,” she moved around you with an awful amount of bags, and seemed to struggle with her keys.

“Do you need help . . .?” You asked and she sighed but nodded her head. You quickly hopped over and grabbed her keys from her fingers, and jimmied her door open, and she was in quicker than you could pull the keys out. As she set her groceries down, she let out an exasperated sigh.

“Thanks,” she said and walked back over to her door.

“Yeah no-” before you could finish her door shut in your face and you blinked a couple times, -problem.”

Sharon and you didn’t necessarily get along, but who really did with their neighbors? She was a lot better than the old tenants who left their garbage out in the hallway. So you couldn’t really complain, right? You didn’t ponder too much about it as you were headed down the stairs and into the rain.

Cafeteria was one of the more bustling restaurants to meet for brunch in Chelsea. Lucky for your girl group, you had another friend who managed it. Getting a taxi in the rain was probably the hardest part of your journey, ignoring your life crisis of course, and luckily you were into the building fast enough that you weren’t completely soaked. You looked over the brunch crowd before spotting your friends and made your way over. Wanda was the first to see you as she sipped away on her mimosa, but let out a hum when you got closer to signal to Natasha, who stood to hug you.

You all exchanged heys as you settled into your chair and pushed your damp jacket off your arms. Natasha leaned forward to rest her elbows on the table, and watched you pensively.

“I’m surprised you aren’t weeping buckets of tears in your apartment right now,” Natasha said before leaning back in her chair and sipping on her drink. “Good for you though.”

“I’m so glad I can count on you for support, Nat,” you said, opting for water right now. You felt dehydrated with all the crying you’ve been doing recently . . . Last night . . . In the cab.

“He’s a sack of shit,” Nat said, earning a nod from Wanda. “I know you love him but holy fuck.”

“Nat,” you warned, but it only prompted her to set her drink down and move forward again, pointing at you and Wanda.

“No, don’t “Nat” me, okay. He is a sack of shit, and I can’t believe he’s doing this all because-”

“Nat,” you warned, a little more forceful this time. “Please. I know.”

She grumbled, sitting back in her chair like a pouting child. Wanada raised her brows, having been sipping on her drink during Natasha’s little tyraid.

“While I agree that he’s a sack of shit, I’m glad you came,” she said, placing a hand over yours. “It wouldn’t have been the same.”

“Thanks,” you managed with a forced smile.

“I should’ve known it was you three when they said I had friends needing a table,” Clint’s voice rang from behind. “Never come just to see me.”

Clint was the one running this joint for the last few years, and he was exceptionally good at it. He liked to brag about the fact that the service stayed “spectacular” even with the boost in numbers they were doing every week. Clint was the embodiment of a true business man, maybe that’s why him and Natasha got along so well. Even dressed for the part, he side hugged each woman at the table and saved you for last, engulfing you in his arms like he could protect you from everything in the world.

“Hey,” he murmured while placing a kiss on your head. You swatted him away and Clint chuckled, whacking you with the towel he had placed over his shoulder.

“This is technically coming to see you,” Natasha said, reaching for her menu. “But we might as well eat too while we’re at it.”

“Yeah whatever you freeloaders,” he joked, earning chuckles from everyone but you, the least you could offer was a smile. “Are we wanting our usuals?”

Each woman said yes and handed him their menu, and Clint was gone in a flash. Wanda and Natasha started talking about something you weren’t paying too much attention to, and your mind began to drift to the day your life started to fall to pieces.

Your marriage wasn’t horrible, in fact to you it had been perfect. You two never really fought, and it was as if the honeymoon phase never ended. He brought you flowers all the time, and when you were working he’d manage to sneak into your office and wrap his arms around you from behind. He always took great detail in the little things, and that’s why you were so fucking in love with him. And the sex? That was otherworldly too. He was otherworldly.

He got home a little late that night. Late enough to where you were already cooking dinner, and he came in fairly quietly. You remembered calling out to him but was only met with silence and the echo of his feet to the living room. The lack of response is what made you look over your shoulder at him and see him staring at a picture that was hung on the wall. A picture of the both of you. He held his tie in his fists and looked like he had seen a ghost.

That’s how he told you he had had an affair. In the middle of your home with you mid stir of the pot of food, he blurted it out so casually you could have missed it. Or well maybe not, not something that grand, that devastating.

“Here we go,” Clint’s voice brought you back to reality as he set food down in front of everyone.

Wanda sat up in her chair exceptionally giddy at the food before her, and Natasha had just finished her second mimosa. Clint told everyone to enjoy and was off again to do who knows what. The smell before you was deliciously pungent, and you realized you haven’t had a proper meal in days. Thank god for these people in your life.

“You zoned out there,” Natasha noted in between bitefuls. “You’re not thinking of him again, are you?”

“No, I’m thinking about how scary you look trying to fit all that in your mouth at once,” you joked. Natasha glared at you which only made you smile a bit. “I can’t help it Nat. I don’t know what to do with myself.”

“That’s what we’re here for,” Wanda chimed in, motioning around her plate with her fork. “To remind you he’s a sack of shit.”

“Exactly,” Natasha pointed to her friend before looking back at you. “And to get you to come out and forget about all of it.”

She wagged her eyebrow at you and you shook your head. “I don’t think I’m in a partying mood right now.”

“Well when you’re ready, we’ll gladly take you out for a night on the town,” Wanda smiled. “Like the old days.”

Like the old days.

Wanda’s words stuck with you for the rest of the day. You weren’t sure if that’s what made you finally crack with the realization that not only were you about to be divorced, but a whole chapter of your life was pretty much thrown out the goddamn window. Eight years of your life to be exact. Your college years all had traces of him in your memories, then the year you got engaged, and then the three years of marriage. He was all you knew for nearly a decade now. Oh this was officially all fucked.

Another thing that was fucked? Your neighbor. Apparently.

Here you were trying to drown yourself in vodka and sleep, and your neighbor was getting fucked. Literally. Even with the amount of alcohol you consumed and the fact it made your head whirl wasn’t enough to block out the incessant banging next door. You were suddenly very aware of the fact her bedroom lined perfectly up with yours. Uncomfortably aware. You blinked at your ceiling wondering if this is how she felt when your husband and you--

No. You quickly deleted that thought from your mind. No more talk of him.

With that you pushed your blanket off and stumbled out of bed. Wow, you had more than you thought tonight, but the fact only made you giggle humorously. You haven’t been this tipsy since. . . Hm. You couldn’t even remember when. How funny!

You carefully threw on your thin robe, spinning in a circle as you tried to push your arm through the other hole. Once covered you exited your bedroom and walked down the hall to the closed door that led to the roof. You could definitely make it up those stairs. So you padded over to the kitchen and grabbed the bottle of vodka you were working on earlier and went towards the door, stumbling over your feet only just a little.

This was one of the reasons you fell in love with this place. The access to the rooftop made your heart fill with something and your husband (should you call him that anymore?) could not talk you out of it. He said, and you quote this very accurately, “Anything for you.”

Haha! What a sack of shit. Just like Nat said.

You pushed the heavy metal door open and were met with the cool evening breeze. The chill sobered you up a bit for you to see the scene before you. As the heavy door shut behind you, you looked over the candles that were still burning and the food left out near your neighbor, Sharon’s, skylight entry. Hm, so that’s what all her groceries were for. Eh, whatever. You practically stumbled over to one of the patio sets and crawled on to an egg like daybed and settled in against the cushions. With your back against the cover you pulled out your phone from the pocket of your robe (thank you sober Y/N) and scrolled through your music.

You hummed and pushed play on one song and tossed the phone beside you, letting the piano melody and horns float through the air. You closed your eyes when the voice started to sing low to you. Just to you.

There’s no sunshine

This impossible year

Only black days, and sky grey

And clouds full of fear, and storms full of sorrow

That won’t disappear

Just typhoons and monsoons this impossible year

There’s no good times, this impossible year

Just a beachfront of bad blood

And a coast that’s unclear

All the guests at the party, they’re so insincere

They just intrude and extrude

This impossible year

There’s no you and me

This impossible year

Only heartache and heartbreak

And gin made of tears

The bitter pill I swallow

The scars souvenir

That tattoo, your last bruise

This impossible year

There’s never air to breathe, there’s never in-betweens

These nightmares always hang on past the dream

There’s no sunshine..

There’s no you and me..

There’s no good times..

This impossible year

You took another hard hit of the bottle and shook your head at the end of the song. The tears that had fallen you were quick to wipe away when the song changed to something more upbeat, but you couldn’t pay attention to the lyrics. Not anymore. There was a sound behind you, it sounded like glass had broken and you blinked to re-evaluate where you were. It didn’t come from the street below, so you carefully crawled to peer around the dome covering your spot, and your eyes landed on a casually dressed man. Definitely not familiar. It looked like he had picked up something from whatever your neighbor had left out, and then he looked up and noticed you.

You met his eyes only for a second before you retreated back under the dome and nestled the bottle of vodka in your lap. You tried to focus on the music playing through your tiny speakers and ignore the approaching footsteps. But- oh god his form came into view. He walked past your place but glanced you over, and then looked over the edge to the street.

“You aren’t planning on jumping, are you?” He asked.

You scoffed, “Nope.”

He turned around and leaned back against the siding of the roof, motioning to the bottle in your hand. “Whatcha got there?”

“None of your business, that’s what,” you practically slurred and took another sip of the alcohol. You didn’t even grimace at the taste before motioning to him with the half full bottle. “Who’re you?”

He watched you in amusement, a smile gracing his face as he took a step off the wall. “I’m Steve. Who’re you?”

“Are you Sharon’s boyfriend?” You asked instead. He was noticeably defensive, throwing his hands up.

“No no no. Nothing like that.” He motioned for a spot near the edge. “Can I join you?”

“Okay, Steve.” You shrugged. Steve took a seat on the edge of the cushions, relaxing his arms on his legs. He watched as you stared blankly at the next building, and took another swig from the bottle.

“Are you the neighbor Sharon was telling me about?” He asked nonchalantly. You couldn’t help the chuckle that escaped your lips.

“Oh that’s rich,” you mumbled and shrugged your shoulders. “Guess that’s me.”

“Did you move in recently?” He asked next and you blinked a couple times.

“Wha?”

“When she brought me up, I saw some empty moving boxes outside your door for grabs,” Steve explained and your gaze went back out to the sky. “Figured you must be new here. I just moved from-”

“I’m not new,” you blurted out, and Steve raised a brow at you. “No, no. I’ve been here two years? Maybe? I dunno.”

Steve slowly nodded and you took another sip from the bottle he could assume held vodka in it. “Well then whoever left those out-”

“My husband moved out today,” you mumbled. Steve’s mouth fell closed and watched as you smiled a bit to yourself and swished your bottle around. “Er, well he hasn’t lived here in a month. His stuff moved out today.”

Steve nodded a bit before motioning to the bottle in your hands. “Is that what this is all about?”

“Well,” you laughed a bit to yourself. “Maybe 90% him. 10% you guys keeping me up.”

Steve laughed this time. It was low and hearty, but it shook your position on the cushions. You blinked a bit as your vision struggled to level out. That’s when you saw him move closer and you straightened up a bit when his large hands grabbed the bottle and cap from your hands.

“Alright crazy let’s put the bottle down for a second,” he said, screwing the cap back on. You whimpered a bit reaching back for your bottle and he turned his back to you to close the cap full and put the bottle somewhere out of your reach.

“Hey that’s mine,” you said and Steve turned back to you, grabbing your hands and putting them to your side.

“Yeah I know angel,” he said and you chuckled.

“Angel,” you laughed again. “What the fuck is that?”

“Well you never shared your name,” Steve said as he forced you to sit back against the cushions once more. “So what should I call you?”

You pondered his question. “Mmm . . . (Y/N).”

You offered your hand for him and Steve glanced between you and your hand. You wiggled your fingers a bit at him and he laughed again before taking your hand in his and shaking it, though you felt like your whole arm shook with it.

“You’re drunk (Y/N),” he said while shaking your hand. Once he finally released your hand you sighed, pulling your legs up to your chest.

“I know,” you said and then shrugged your shoulders at him. “I wanted to be.”

Steve nodded. “Y’know a buddy of mine is going through a divorce-”

“Did he want it?” You asked him shortly.

“Well yeah-” Steve started and your face fell.

“I didn’t.”

It was a short and simple statement. The silence that filled the air was awkward and heavy, but Steve rubbed his hands together and nodded his head like he was actually curious to hear you speak.

“Were there problems?”

“I didn’t think so.” You scooted up to the edge and rested your hand on the cushion to steady yourself. “We never fought. He acted like he was completely devoted to me! He was perfect. We were perfect.”

Steve shrugged his shoulders, “Was he being fulfilled-”

“Sex was not a problem,” you cut him off, and ignored the glance of his eyes over you. “We had sex everyday-”

“Everyday?” Steve exclaimed and you nodded your head furiously at him.

“Oh yeah. More than once a day,” you confirmed.

“Fucking hell,” he mumbled, one of his hands on his knee and his close hand rested over yours. “What a fucking loser, then.”

“Sack of shit,” you corrected. “We call him a sack of shit.”

Steve threw his arms up in defense. “My bad. What a fucking sack of shit then.”

You both laughed a bit and when silence enveloped you again you took Steve’s appearance in. This stranger was fairly attractive, you couldn’t argue that. He was tall and built like a perfect man. Even his beard looked perfect. You were suddenly reminded of the sounds you heard from your neighbor’s room and his attractiveness went right out the window, as you shot up from your place and swayed a bit. Too fast, too furious. Steve was up and steadied you with his hands on your waist.

“Careful there, angel,” he warned as you regained your composure.

“(Y/N),” you reminded him. Steve smiled and removed his hands from your waist.

“I know,” he said with the same smile on his face. You studied him for a moment before you shook your head and patted his chest.

“Goodbye, Steve,” you said. You stepped around him and made your way back to the door to your apartment. Your hand went to tug on it when Steve spoke again, from the same spot.

“I’ll see you around, angel,” he said. You pulled your door open and looked at him, standing by the patio daybed with a wicked smile on his face. You squinted a bit and finally descended down your private stairs, letting the rooftop door close on Steve and your night.

Callum Turner

From the Guinness council estate in Chelsea, to being a pro footballer, the face of Burberry, on to big starring roles, this intelligent and thoughtful young man is hoping to occupy the same cultural position as his heroes De Niro and Gary Oldman.

“I’m about to start a Frankenstein for Fox report, directed by Paul McGuigan. And I’ve just finished the new John Boorman film, Queen and Country which is the sequel to Hope and Glory.

I play Bill, the character who in the original film was 11 and now in this film is 18 and just starting national service in 1952. Luckily he doesn’t get sent off to Korea, he just gets to stay in the camp and teach the other soldiers how to type. He’s clever and knows how to work the system. From my point of view, what was interesting is that it’s a coming-of-age story filled with these incredibly interesting and eccentric characters, such as the RSM and all the other officers who played by great actors such as Richard E Grant and David Thewlis.

Some of the other recruits are confrontational and rebellious but my character – in essence the young John Boorman – is much more thoughtful. He’s a dreamer and a thinker.

What came out of doing this is realising that National Service was no bad thing. Yes, you have to do the marching, obey orders and do the square bashing, but everyone I interviewed who’d done it said they had a real laugh. They said it was the making of them.

What’s interesting is that in 1952 all the officers had already fought in the Second World War and sacrificed a lot for their country but these kids are about to experience the 60s. Rock n roll and freedom is coming.

Whatever you do in life, you’ll essentially be building upon a character for yourself. When I was 13 or 14 I was six-foot and had size 10 feet. I was bigger than my teachers and they had no power over me. I think I actually felt a little lost. I realise that an experience even as extreme as National Service can be a really defining moment. A constraining, confined situation helps you thrive. Of course some went to fight – in Korea or Malaysia or Suez – but there are upsides even I can see.

I’d love to make more stuff similar to the people who are my heroes like Gary Oldman and Tim Roth, but I think when they started their careers, the films the came out that had a lot more energy and maybe more social resentment. In the 80’s, the work of Alan Clarke and Ken Loach got more left-wing as society was going more right-wing. Today seems blander in may respects.

Many of my friends feel a bit lost and, to a certain extent, angry. We still all play football together and we walk around Fulham, which essentially is OUR neighbourhood. You see the new build luxury apartments along the river and million pound conversions of council houses and you ask yourself ‘where am I going to live? How can I have a family?’

I’m a very lucky man. I didn’t really have any training. I just really loved films. So I put myself on up casting website and got a couple short films and then did a play and then I got an agent. I’ve been really busy since then.

The new Premier League Season is coming.

While some teams are looking for last-minute transfer deals, others have more confidence in their current team.

Sportsmail gives the completion of each team this season.

Chelsea would do well to put this in the top four season to end under new manager Frank Lampard

Arsenal – last season: 5th

What's new: Arsenal spends £ 72m on one player, even in installments . The arrival of Ivory Coast winger Nicolas Pepe has given fans hope for a return to the Champions League.

Who They Want: Celtic Left Back Kieran Tierney could arrive before the end of the window.

Bookies say: Gunners are 5-4 to get back in the top four.

We say: Terrifying front three but still plagued by the same problems at the back.

Players in: 4

Received: £ 11.5 m

Received: £ 0 m

Bournemouth – last season: 14th

What's new: A £ 100,000-week contract for Striker Callum Wilson. Huge money, but vital for Eddie Howe. Will thrive from the service of Ryan Fraser and new £ 16m winger Arnaut Danjuma.

Who they want: With a crisis in midfield, the cherries are talking about a movement of 25m Liverpool winger Harry Wilson.

Bookies say: 9-2 are banned only 5-1 for a top-10 finish.

Crystal Palace – last season: 12th

What's new: Aaron Wan-Bissaka has joined £ 50 million with Manchester United while Wilfried Zaha is desperate to proceed to. The permanent signing of Jordan Ayew is hardly inspiring.

Manchester United emerge as favourites to sign Aurelien Tchouameni this summer

Manchester United emerge as favourites to sign Aurelien Tchouameni this summer According to reports, Manchester United are making efforts to acquire the services of Aurelien Tchouameni, the midfielder currently playing for Real Madrid, during the upcoming summer transfer window. The 23-year-old had attracted interest from several clubs after an impressive performance for Monaco in the 2021-22 season, but it was Real Madrid who managed to secure his signature. Tchouameni featured regularly for Real Madrid last season, making 50 appearances across various competitions and providing four assists. However, he did not start in the later stages of their Champions League campaign. The competition for a starting position at the Bernabeu will intensify next season with the arrival of Jude Bellingham in a high-profile transfer from Borussia Dortmund. In recent times, Arsenal have been linked with a potential move for Tchouameni, and Liverpool reportedly made a strong attempt to sign the French international last summer. According to a report from Nacional, Manchester United is currently leading the race to sign Aurelien Tchouameni, and they are actively working to secure his services. The head coach of Man United, Erik ten Hag, reportedly considers Tchouameni as the perfect player to partner with Casemiro in the central midfield position. As a result, the directors of Manchester United are preparing to travel to Spain. It is stated in the report that representatives from Manchester United will meet with Real Madrid president Florentino Perez to discuss the potential transfer. Real Madrid is believed to be open to selling Tchouameni for a fee of around £69 million. While Real Madrid is reportedly interested in retaining the French midfielder, they would not obstruct his departure if he expresses a desire to pursue new opportunities after just one season in Madrid. Aurelien Tchouameni began his professional career at Bordeaux before joining Monaco, where he played from 2020 to 2022 before making the switch to Real Madrid. During his debut season at the Bernabeu under the guidance of Carlo Ancelotti, the French midfielder played a role in winning the Copa del Rey, UEFA Super Cup, and Club World Cup. While Manchester United is close to finalizing the signing of Mason Mount from Chelsea for an initial fee of £55 million, it appears that head coach Erik ten Hag is interested in adding another midfielder to his squad this summer. If players such as Fred, Scott McTominay, and Donny van de Beek were to depart, it could create room in the budget for another midfield acquisition.

Liverpool Football Club: Six players are frustrating to sell before the transfer window slams closed

Liverpool Football's summer transfer window plan faces a crucial 10-day period, and Jurgen Klopp has run out of time to organize his team. The German acted swiftly to ensure his club signed £ 35m Leipzig RB's Ibrahima Konat to strengthen their defensive options. However, despite the connection with several possible new signings such as Manuel Locatelli, Sol Niguel, and Florian Neuhaus, there are no more additions.

Premier League Football fans from worldwide are called to book Premier League Football Tickets from our online platforms, WorldWideTicketsandHospitality.com. Fans can book Liverpool Football Tickets on our website at exclusively discounted prices.

Liverpool Football faced the problem of selling non-native players to comply with Premier League Football registration rules and send a 25-man line-up for the 2012 season2. The Red Army has jointly raised £ 31 million through the sale of Harry Wilson, Marco Grujic, and Two Avon to Fulham, Porto, and Berlin.

But Klopp aspects a tough task, that is, before the start of the new Premier League Football season on August 14. They will face the newly promoted Norwich City and reshape their squad in time. There are several fringe players associated with this summer's departure if the Merseyside team is to present new faces. They must find a way to promote their departure.

Divock Origi

After scoring just one goal in 17 appearances last season, the Reds will desperately lash out at the errant Belgian this summer, making only 9 Premier League Football appearances. Origi, 26, was Klopp's super substitute in the 201819 seasons. He scored a key goal for the victory in the Merseyside Derby and scored the double Champions League crown against Barcelona.

But since then, the forward has worked hard to impress and ranks behind Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino, Mohamed Salah, and Diogo Jota on the decline. Wolves and Napoli are very interested in Origi. According to The Athletic, if Liverpool Football's £ 20 million starting price is reached, Origi will be able to transfer permanently.

Sheldon Shaqiri

Shaqiri is expected to leave Liverpool Football after appearing for Switzerland at the 2020 European Cup, scoring three goals for his country. But for now, no club believes a permanent deal is feasible, and Liverpool Football's request once again put off potential suitors.

Lazio, now coached by former Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri, has close ties with Shaqiri, who admitted it will be an honor to be transferred to the Olympic Stadium. Although Shaqiri claimed he would be sold, Goal claimed that Lazio's £ 12 million offer was rejected by the Red Army and that Napoli was quick to sign him as well. However, your current transaction is only one year old, and they may be forced to charge a reduced-price fee later in the window.

Loris Carrius

It is no exaggeration to say that Carrie is also facing a severe situation in Liverpool and the club. The 28-year-old is still his fourth selected goalkeeper and only recently appeared in training because the club hopes to sell him before the transfer window closes. For more to know About Liverpool vs Southampton Tickets.

Karius has not played for the club since the 18th of the 2017 Champions League final. He spent two years on loan at Besiktas before spending a frustrating interim season with Berlin. The German is linked to the move to West Ham in January, but Hammers has before now contracted Alphonse Areola. He has only one year left on his current contract, and if this means he leaves permanently. The Red Army may face reduced losses to the wrong goalkeeper.

Nathaniel Phillips

Given his concerns about talent in his hometown, it would be a pleasant surprise to see Klopp profit from the player Nat Phillips, who broke into the first team last season and impressed the Germans. The 24-year-old player replaced the injured Virgil van Dijk in the center with Fabinho. After an unstable start to Premier League Football, he found some form in the 20 games he played for the club.

Athletic trusts Brighton is ready to step up exertions to sign Phillips to replace Ben White, who linked Arsenal on Friday for £50 million. With the money, Liverpool Football is expected to receive a transfer fee of 15 million pounds, and Phillips currently ranks behind Van Dijk, Conat, Joe Gomez, and Joel Matip in the rankings. Since Brighton is financially capable, Klopp's men may want to sell.

Ben Davies

One of the strangest signings of the Klopp era was that Davis came here from the Preston North in January, ostensibly to ease concerns about his defensive crisis. But the 25-year-old player did not show up once. He asked why the Red Army paid an initial fee of £500,000 for his services, which then rose to £1.5 million. Davis participated in a friendly match with Wacker Innsbruck during the Austrian preseason. For more to know About Liverpool vs Crystal Palace Tickets.

But his lack of playing time indicates that the club will look for a deal in this window, just six months after his arrival. According to Football Insider reports, in clubs that have shown interest in the central defender, Sheffield United has inquired about the defender's loan for a season. If Davis performs well in the championship, then Liverpool Football may get a considerable profit from the Englishman.

Sheyi Ojo

Liverpool Football is not known for accumulating players, but in Sheyi Ojo, they have been unable to find a new home for the wingers for ten years. Since coming here from MK Dons as a teenager in 2011, the forward has been loaned to Wigan, Wolves, Fulham, Reims, and Rangers, and has not found a permanent club.

He was loaned to Cardiff in the 202021 seasons but reportedly did not have enough time to win the transfer, which put him in trouble again. Ocho's contract will expire in 2022. Since he has not appeared in the club since the 2016-17 seasons, there is almost no possibility of renewal. However, according to Welsh Online reports, if not, the 24-year-old may return to Cardiff on loan again.
