The Reds’ former No. 10 joined Cristiano Ronaldo at Al-Nassr following a difficult season which saw him leave Bayern Munich after just 12 months. Bayern boss Thomas Tuchel admitted that Mane was “hurt” by how things had turned out at the German champions, where the Senegalese forward scored 12 goals and registered six assists in an injury-hit campaign. Mane joined a host of high-profile names to make the switch to the Middle East this summer, including three of his former colleagues at Anfield. Two of those players attempted to talk the 31-year-old into a reunion in Saudi Arabia, with Brazilian…
Manchester City midfielder Kevin De Bruyne has voiced his dissatisfaction with the new approach to injury time in football matches. In a post-match interview after the Community Shield showpiece at Wembley, De Bruyne expressed his belief that the new rules “don’t make any sense” as he echoed a sentiment shared by Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp. The Premier League, English Football League, FA, and other stakeholders in the sport collaborated to implement significant changes in how matches are officiated. However, the first major trial of these new stipulations resulted in Manchester City conceding a last-minute equalizer to Arsenal and ultimately losing…

Liverpool may have to wait until the January transfer window to sign midfield target Andre even though they might now miss out on Romeo Lavia. Fluminense are refusing to lose Brazil international Andre until their Copa Libertadores campaign is over. Their 2-0 victory over Argentinos Juniors on Tuesday night means the Campeonato Brasileiro Serie A club advance into the quarter-finals of the South American Champions League. They will contest their two last-eight legs on 22-24 August and 29-31 August. And that means it may be too difficult for Liverpool to do a deal before the window shuts. The 22-year-old has…
The Uruguayan looked like the best striker in the league at times, but on other occasions, he looked like Bambi on ice. The South American is a player with bags of potential, and if Liverpool can find a way to smooth those rough edges, they will have a superstar on their hands. Speaking on TalkSPORT’s Premier League All Access Podcast, Scott Minto has been discussing Nunez ahead of next season, and he reckons he will be an absolute nightmare for Premier League defenders in this upcoming season. Nunez will be a pest “The strikers have always been there. I can…
That’s according to a recent report from Football Transfers, who claims Jurgen Klopp is already planning for Andy Robertson’s long-term successor. Estupinan, 25, enjoyed an excellent season with the Seagulls last time out. Following his £18 million move from Villarreal just over 12 months ago, Brighton’s well-rounded number 30 has shown all the signs of becoming a top Premier League left-back. Fans may be surprised to hear these reports; especially considering the Reds’ reliable number 26 started 26 Premier League games last season – the same number of domestic games he started the season before. Nevertheless, with Estupinan quickly emerging…
The latest offer that the Saints rejected at £46 million may be the last straw for the Reds with a new report suggesting Liverpool reignite their interest in Khephren Thuram. The Northern Echo reported in June that Nice value Thuram at £60 million so unless Liverpool believe the Frenchman has a higher ceiling than Lavia, it would be an odd decision to abandon negotiations with Southampton after three weeks when they are so close to reaching an agreement. That said, Thuram offers physicality where Lavia lacks but also ticks the same boxes that Liverpool will be very interested in. Should Liverpool sign Thuram?…

Liverpool FC have Stefan Bajcetic and Thiago Alcantara back in full training, but neither will be involved at Chelsea for the season opener on Sunday. Both missed the entirety of this pre-season as they recovered from groin injuries that ended their 2022/23 seasons early. With Alexis Mac Allister also having recovered fully, from the knock on his knee, Reds boss Jurgen Klopp has no fresh injury concerns for the weekend curtain raiser. However, there are still major roster concerns, and Anfield has a lot of work to do this summer transfer window. Captain Jordan Henderson, as well as Roberto Firmino, Naby…
