Today we have the latest on interest in Thiago, the Reds’ links to a Swedish wonderkid, rekindled talk of a Chelsea star and (inevitably) more on the Kylian Mbappe soap opera. KYLIAN MBAPPE OFFERED THE ‘PYRAMIDS OF EGYPT’. Let’s get it out the way first then. Paris Saint-Germain are prepared to offer Kylian Mbappe a salary no other club can compete with in order to keep him at the club, amid interest from Real Madrid and Liverpool. The 25-year-old superstar is now into the final six months of his PSG deal and, as such, can discuss terms with foreign suitors…
Paris Saint-Germain forward Kylian Mbappe has revealed that LeBron James continues to be an inspiration for him and he regularly asks the NBA player for career advice. Mbappe and James have grown close since 2018, when the sporting stars met for the first time at a Nike event in New York. That year, Mbappe’s move to PSG became permanent after an initial loan spell from AS Monaco, and James joined the Los Angeles Lakers after a second stint with the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Frenchman is a keen NBA fan and James also has an interest in football as an investor in Fenway…
According to 90min, Liverpool are reportedly still keen on an ambitious potential transfer move for Chelsea defender Levi Colwill, despite the fact that he recently signed a new long-term deal at Stamford Bridge. Having joined Chelsea at the age of eight, Levi Colwill progressed through the club’s youth ranks and spent the 2021/22 season on loan at Huddersfield, amassing 29 Championship appearances and helping the team reach the play-off final. The 22-year-old spent last season on loan at Brighton & Hove Albion, and the Englishman was superb for the South Coast side, while he played a pivotal role in the…
Mikel Arteta’s project inspired a tilt at the summit for much of last term but a stuttering epilogue allowed Pep Guardiola’s eventual treble-winners to stroll to a third-straight league title. Arsenal are poised to be in the mix once again in 2023/24 despite their woes over Christmas, although Liverpool have re-emerged as City’s fiercest contender. These two played out memorable title duels in 2018/19 and 2021/22, so it’d be silly to rule out another run-in of drama this time around. Alongside Arsenal, outsiders Aston Villa and Tottenham have thrown themselves into the mix. Here’s how 90min rates the respective run-ins of…
Cesc Fabregas has called for Liverpool to have “patience” with Darwin Nunez and believes he could become as prolific as Mo Salah. The Uruguayan was an £85m signing from Portuguese giants Benfica back in the summer of 2022 but he has not quite hit the heights expected of him. Nunez’s finishing has not been up to scratch having scored just 23 goals in 72 appearances in all competitions for Liverpool. However, former Chelsea and Arsenal midfielder Fabregas believes that he just needs time to reach his potential at Anfield. Speaking to the BBC, the Spaniard said: “You need to understand…
It was once the decision that usually signalled the end of a fledgling Liverpool career almost before it had even started. But Conor Bradley will hope he is the latest example of a subtle shift in trend from which the Reds are now starting to reap rewards. Bradley built on his encouraging cameo from the bench in the FA Cup third round win at Arsenal three days earlier by claiming the man of the match award in the League Cup semi-final first leg triumph over Fulham last Wednesday. The 20-year-old Northern Ireland international, deputising for Trent Alexander-Arnold in the inverted…
It seems that the former Liverpool star Roberto Firmino may not be leaving Saudi Arabia after all, according to the latest reports. The Brazilian had been linked with a move away in the January window after struggling to Saudi Arabia with Al-Ahli. Having made the move over in the summer after his contract expired at Anfield, he began brilliantly with a hat-trick on debut, but he has then failed to find the net since. Reports had linked with Firmino with a move to Chelsea, according to Matt Law of the Telegraph, as the Blues looked to bolster their attack with Nicolas Jackson away on…
January 14 was a crucial day for many clubs as they waited to learn if the Premier League judged them to be within Profitability and Sustainability Rules — commonly referred to as Financial Fair Play, or FFP. Liverpool, never in any danger, could sit back and relax. It was not the same story for near-neighbor Everton, which got hit with a second charge, having already been docked 10 points this season for a breach in the previous rolling three-year period. Likewise, Nottingham Forest was informed that the Premier League does not believe its accounts are compliant with the FFP rules,…
Joe Cole has hit the tabloid internet headlines for comments he made about ‘wishing he hadn’t joined Liverpool’. In reality, the truth isn’t as cut and dried. Cole was one of the most talented English players of his generation, and it was a strong bunch to pick from. However, his time at Liverpool was spent past his peak. Chatting to John Obi Mikel on the Nigerian’s podcast, he spoke openly about his 2010 Chelsea exit and explained why he would “probably” wouldn’t joined Liverpool with hindsight. During his 18 months playing for the Reds, Cole suffered from a recurring knee problem and…
It was a summer transfer window that brought plenty of change as Jürgen Klopp continued to revamp a Liverpool side that had brought him so much success. The likes of Dominik Szoboszlai and Alexis Mac Allister have impressed in their first months at Anfield, with Klopp’s men still fighting for four trophies this season. Liverpool remains top of the Premier League at the halfway point and, once again, the German boss appears to have got his transfer dealings spot on. But what of the players who made way for Klopp to launch his Liverpool 2.0 team? Captain Jordan Henderson was the big-name exit as he moved to…
