Liverpool picked up a 3-1 win over German outfit Darmstadt on Monday as Jurgen Klopp’s men got back to winning ways after a defeat to Bayern Munich last week. Mohamed Salah opened the scoring inside the opening five minutes before Diogo Jota added a second just a few minutes later. But after the Reds got off to a flyer, some sloppy defending gifted Darmstadt a way back into the game as Mathias Honsak got on the scoresheet. Liverpool continued to dominate the game and grabbed their third just 15 minutes after half-time. Luis Diaz has looked bright during pre-season and he produced…
Time is running out for Chelsea to sign Moises Caicedo in time for their Premier League opener against Liverpool on Sunday afternoon. The Blues are lining up a fresh offer for the Ecuador international, Soccerhuz.com understands, after seeing their first three bids turned down by the stubborn Brighton. The latest offer, believed to be around £80million altogether, was still some way under Brighton’s valuation of £100m. Chelsea, though – for what seems like the 100th time of writing this over the summer – will once again step up their efforts in the coming days as they look to get the…
The world of football’s midfield may very well belong to Real Madrid. They have two all-time greats in Luka Modric and Toni Kroos, some of the world’s top young players like Jude Bellingham, Aurelien Tchouameni, Eduardo Camavinga, and Arda Guler, and a player like Fede Valverde who appears to be entering his prime. Giving each player enough playing time may be the biggest issue Real Madrid faces this year. Carlo Ancelotti opted for a 4-4-2 system in preseason. But if Kylian Mbappe joins the club, which is very much a possibility, Real Madrid are expected to go back to their…
Manchester United concluded their 2023 pre-season schedule with a 1-1 draw against Athletic Bilbao in Dublin yesterday.

Manchester United have less than four weeks to wrap up their summer transfer business. Erik ten Hag’s side begin their Premier League campaign away to Wolves in seven days’ time and are still hoping to strike deals in and out of the club. Rasmus Hojlund became the third major signing of the summer on Saturday. He completed his move from Atalanta for a fee of £72million. The Dane is set to become United’s No 1 striker almost immediately but must first overcome a ‘small’ injury before fans will see him in action. Ten Hag is still keen to add another midfielder to his squad,…
The Reds’ need for a defensive midfielder has become more urgent after the departure of key players in that position. Fabinho was sold to Al Ittihad for £42 million, and Jordan Henderson was transferred to Al-Ettifaq for £12 million. Additionally, James Milner, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, and Naby Keita had already left the club on free transfers earlier in the summer. Liverpool has made some midfield reinforcements, signing Alexis Mac Allister from Brighton and Dominik Szoboszlai from RB Leipzig. However, the failure to adequately replace Fabinho could prove detrimental to their performance in the upcoming season. Liverpool have seen two bids worth…

Chelsea, now managed by Mauricio Pochettino, have endured yet another summer of wholesale changes, with over ten players leaving the club on permanent deals and multiple incomings as well. So it looks set to be another period of transition for Chelsea, but they will be hoping it will be the last one…
