Paris Saint-Germain president Nasser Al Khelaifi insists he wants Kylian Mbappe to stay at the Parc des Princes despite being linked with moves to Liverpool and Real Madrid. The 25-year-old Frenchman has less than six months remaining on his current deal in the French capital and reports in Spain earlier this month suggested that he had agreed to a move in principle to Real Madrid, two-and-a-half years after the La Liga giants had an offer in the region of £170m rejected for the striker. However, Al Khelaifi admits he is not planning for life at PSG without Mbappe, who he…
The speculation over the 25-year-old superstar’s future continues to go on and on (and on and on…) with the forward now into the final six months of his Paris Saint-Germain contract and, as such, free to discuss terms over a summer transfer with any of his suitors. PSG – despite going through a very public falling out with their star asset last summer – are still hopeful of convincing Mbappe to renew his massive contract in the French capital, while Real Madrid and Liverpool are seen as his most likely transfer destinations should he choose to leave. Reporting on the…

Alan Shearer has named three Liverpool players in his team of the season so far, with the Reds leading the way in the Premier League. Jurgen Klopp’s side have stormed to the top of the division, bouncing back from a disappointing campaign last season. The Reds are three points clear of Aston Villa, who sit second, having lost just one game so far this term. Their stunning performance has been recognised by Shearer, who won the title with Blackburn Rovers in 1995. Trent Alexander-Arnold, Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah have all been included in Shearer’s XI. Though Alisson has…

Liverpool are set to have Virgil van Dijk back for the first leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final against Fulham, but Trent Alexander-Arnold faces a spell on the sidelines. Van Dijk missed the FA Cup win over Arsenal due to illness, but Liverpool assistant Pep Lijnders confirmed that the centre-back is available to face Fulham at Anfield on Wednesday night. He said: “Virgil ran yesterday [Monday], while we were doing the training with the subs. He did a few jogs and was smiling and looked good. He will be back.

And with that game in mind, below is a look at the latest Liverpool injuries and return dates, with a new name added to the already over-flowing AXA Training Centre medical room… Trent Alexander-Arnold Speaking on Tuesday afternoon to preview the up coming game…
In a significant blow to Liverpool’s aspirations, Trent Alexander-Arnold has been ruled out for “a few weeks” with a knee injury. Worryingly, this means that the Reds must now do without their four most creative players. Especially in recent times, the vice-captain has been one of the side’s key playmakers. Now, he joins left-back Andrew Robertson, leading scorer Mohamed Salah and star midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai, who have all been instrumental in crafting chances and unlocking opposition defences throughout the season, on the list of absentees. These players have been the heartbeat of the team and the drive behind the team’s offensive…
