According to 90min, Liverpool is prepared to launch a bid for Chelsea center-back Levi Colwill.

Despite Chelsea’s declaration that Colwill is not for sale, sources have stated to 90min that Liverpool is convinced that they can persuade Colwill to leave Stamford Bridge.

Colwill made a significant impression while on loan at Brighton & Hove Albion last season. He was one of the stars of England’s win at the European Under-21 Championship this summer. The Seagulls have already made a few unsuccessful attempts to sign him permanently.

Chelsea have stated since January, when Brighton first floated the idea of a permanent deal, that they are not looking to sell the defender.

However, 90min has been told that Colwill is far from convinced that his long-term future should be at Chelsea despite their insistence that he will get chances to prove himself this coming season.

Before Colwill’s current deal expires in 2025, Chelsea is attempting to extend it, but as of right now, no progress has been made in the talks. Chelsea has made it clear to their team that any players who refuse to sign new contracts will be sold. The exits this summer of Mason Mount and Mateo Kovacic are particularly noteworthy.

This summer, Liverpool has focused primarily on improving their midfield. Now that Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai have been signed, Liverpool is also considering defensive options, with Colwill in mind as a potential new center-half.

Admire Mo Salah ‘King Of Egypt’ Watch Collection

There appear to be a few luxuries that are a requirement if you want to earn a lot of money as a footballer, whether Mo Salah agrees with this or not. I assume that every new athlete receives this list when they sign their first official contract: a big pair of sneakers, a car that moves so, so fast, something distressed from Amiri, and a small leather wash bag with a monogram. Really, it’s moving too quickly. Something from Balenciaga, of course, and a bracelet with the average TikTok celebrity or brain surgeon’s annual income on it.

Some footballers start their collections with the shiniest watch they can find, but Mo Salah picks his watches with a very high level of care. When he’s playing, the Liverpool star wears showy watches, but off the field, he wears more subdued pieces. However, there is still plenty to consider.

We’ll look over Salah’s stunning watch collection, which features some of the most intricate complexity in fine watchmaking as well as APs that have garnered accolades.

Ulysse Nardin Freak Lab 18k white gold

Even though Mo Salah had to limp off in the first half, he was still able to enjoy Liverpool’s first FA Cup win. With his hand on that famous old trophy and the usual winner’s smile on his face, he chose the Ulysse Nardin Freak Lab in 18k white gold (Reference: 2100-138, which is obviously very important) for that crucial wrist shot.

A tourbillon with an exquisite design for a tourbillon is the Freak Lab. It is renowned for its technical design and performance and is only available in 99 pieces. It is referred to by the brand as a “laboratory on the wrist.” The watch includes a 45 mm white gold case, an alligator strap, and a rotating 7-day flying carousel on the dial. The Freak line has gained popularity since its release in 2001. It must have been the deciding factor for Mo that it was the first watch to incorporate silicon technology.

Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore customised in Liverpool colours

It turns out that being the best football player in the Premier League has its perks. Salah wore a very special AP Royal Oak Offshore when he went to the Football Writers to get his Player of the Year award. We can say for sure that it was made just for Salah, Jurgen Klopp, and the rest of their team to celebrate winning the Premier League in 2020. Isn’t that kind of cool?

 

When it came out in 1993, the Offshore was an even sportier version of AP’s famous Royal Oak. It had a bigger 42mm case and a MÉGA-TAPISSERIE” dial, which is a nice textured finish on the dial and a house signature.

Roger Dubuis Excalibur Spider Pirelli-Skeleton RDDBEX0747

Now, that’s a big boy. The Spider Pirelli-Skeleton has a big 45mm titanium case that is water-resistant up to 50 meters. It has a very complicated exposed movement made in Geneva with a star-shaped bridge and powered by a micro rotor. It’s basically one of the most complicated automatic movements ever made for a watch. The rubber inlay on the watch’s strap comes from championship-winning tires used in real races. This was done in collaboration with Pirelli, as you might have guessed. Which is… nice?

Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Concept Flying Tourbillon GMT

After their amazing comeback against Barcelona (“corner taken quickly to ORIIGISBbvvsgxa22gqaavsvzz!!! is burned in my brain forever”) and fairly easy win over Tottenham, Salah wore one of his favorite pieces to celebrate winning his first Champions League. The Royal Oak Concept Flying Tourbillon is a supercharged version of AP’s signature sports line. It’s made of sand-blasted titanium and black ceramic, has a 10-day power reserve, and has that famous octagonal case that, legend has it, the legendary Gerald Genta designed in a single night after being inspired by the helmets worn by deep sea divers.

 

Hublot Big Bang Unico Sapphire

Hublot’s sapphire Big Bang takes the idea of a skeleton watch very literally. It is made of a very clever (and secret) transparent material called “synthetic sapphire,” which lets all the working parts of the watch be seen from any angle. From the middle of the case to the bezel, everything is cut from a single piece of sapphire and then polished into its final shape. This special chromo can only be made in 500 pieces because of how hard it is to make. This fits with Salah’s taste for wild and highly limited sports watches.

Mo Salah, a striker for Liverpool FC, has been seen wearing some very strange clothes that look futuristic and cutting-edge instead of expensive and tough. In a photo shoot for a promotion last year, Salah was seen wearing an Ulysse Nardin watch from the “Laboratory on the wrist” Freak collection with his Liverpool shirt. Here’s the science part: The Freak is powered by a “anchor escapement” made up of a series of nickel mass elements and micro blades that stabilize the movement’s motion through air friction. No, I don’t know what that means either, but I love how Salah’s choice shows that he has a free-spirited style.

Urwerk-105 CT Streamliner

He also has an Urwerk-105 CT Streamliner, which shows that Salah likes watches for their design and engineering and not just to impress his teammates. The Streamliner was made to look like the art deco skyscrapers of New York. It doesn’t even have a dial. Instead, you slide open a catch on the eight-sided case to see how the “wandering hours” mechanism works inside. The designers say, “When it is closed, it looks simple, with only the time showing.” “Take off the protective cover and you’ll find yourself in a cool, efficient metal world.”
