Liverpool join Newcastle and Barcelona in the race for Chukwuemeka

Carney Chukwuemeka is just 18 years old and is one of Aston Villa's most promising young talents. This attracts suitors from any of the big leagues and this is what has happened with Barcelona, Newcastle and Liverpool. The 'Mirror' points to the bidding of the Reds, the last ones to join the race.

The Villains want to get 23 million euros for the sale of the youngster. It is not ideal for his suitors, as his contract expires in the summer of next year and they hope to exploit the possibility of negotiating with him in a few months to welcome him for free and get him sooner for a lower price than they would face in normal conditions.

The player, according to the source mentioned in the first paragraph, has rejected several renewal proposals from the board, so a change of scenery would not be a bad idea. It remains for him to decide which destination he likes best. In all of them, he would enjoy a boost in goals, which is perhaps what he is looking for at this stage of his career.

Another problem with the player is that he is asking for a salary of six million euros per season. He is still only a promising player, so Barcelona, Newcastle and Liverpool are unlikely to spend so much money on the wages of a player who has to prove his worth on a more difficult stage first.
