Salah is very much still Jurgen Klopp’s main man for the Reds. He’s started the Premier League season in fine form with 10 goals in 12 games as well as four assists. But his current contract expires at the end of the 2024/25 season, and Lawrenson believes Anfield chiefs shouldn’t offer him an extension given he’ll be turning 32 next summer.

And I think the plus side of this is that Liverpool will be…
Since Nunez’s £85 million arrival from Benfica, and particularly on establishing himself as a key player this season, he has enjoyed a close bond with Salah on the pitch. The Uruguayan has combined with the Egyptian for 11 goals, at least seven more than he has with any other Liverpool player, with nine of his 10 assists being for Salah. It brings a new dynamic to Klopp’s attack, following the breakup of his long-standing front three of Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino. Asked about Salah’s understanding with Nunez, the manager gave a simple explanation. “These players, you cannot become a Liverpool player…
Gary Lineker has doubled down on his prediction for Liverpool to challenge for the Premier League title – ahead of Saturday’s table-topping showdown with Manchester City. The Reds travel to the Etihad this weekend a point and a place behind Pep Guardiola’s Treble winners and are looking for a first win in East Manchester City since the early weeks of Jurgen Klopp’s reign in 2015. Victory in Saturday’s early Premier League kick-off will see the Reds move to the top of the Premier League for the first time this season. Lineker believes such form in the opening 12 games gives them a “chance” of toppling…
Liverpool’s frontline might appear to be the one area of Jurgen Klopp’s squad that does not require attention, but there are murmurings that change could be afoot. Over the past few years, the Reds have prioritised the bolstering of the attacking ranks to combat sales of stars such as Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino, but this has come at the expense of defensive and midfield recruitment. After falling flat last year, Klopp and co restored the engine room and are now in pursuit of prominence once again, and while the rearguard is considered the priority zone in the transfer market, recent rumours have…
Adding playmaking duties to the right-back’s scope has transformed Liverpool but he will face an examination at the Etihad on Saturday Liverpool’s last visit to Manchester City was a watershed moment in Jürgen Klopp’s reign and Trent Alexander-Arnold’s career. Klopp knew before the 4-1 drubbing in April there would be fundamental changes to his team over the summer. But it was an instant tactical switch in the aftermath of the defeat that triggered the start of an Anfield revival. The sobering afternoon in Manchester was the last time Alexander-Arnold played as an orthodox right-back. The following weekend – a 2-2 draw with Arsenal –…
According to transfer expert Ben Jacobs (via GIVEMESPORT), Liverpool are yet to start talks with Egyptian star Mohamed Salah about his future plans, with the two parties expected to hold further discussions in the new year amid fresh interest from the Saudi Pro League. The journalist adds that although the Reds have rejected previous offers for their star man and head coach Jurgen Klopp wants to keep Salah, the club are now running out of leverage in the negotiation due to his diminishing contract and may be forced to cash in sooner rather than later. The Egyptian star is regarded as…
However, despite the winger’s contract running down, Liverpool won’t part ways with their prolific number 11 for a discounted price.

Perhaps it wasn’t obvious at the time, but the departure of Philippe Coutinho was a transformative moment for Liverpool. The Brazilian had been a great player at Anfield, but when Barcelona came to prize him away from the club, it was an offer that was impossible to turn down, and allowed Liverpool to build Jürgen Klopp’s first great team. Almost six years on, Liverpool should be open to doing business with Barcelona once again in the January transfer window, this time for a player whose future seemingly does not belong at Anfield in the long term. The player in question is of course Thiago Alcântara, who arrived…
Jurgen Klopp‘s squad have been spread across the world for the last fortnight, and while preparation time for their league return is limited, they will not need any motivation for this clash. The Reds had to win their last match against Brentford and did just that, but this is the biggest test so far for Klopp’s new-look side. Here are 10 key things to know ahead of the Reds’ trip to the blue side of Manchester. We have been here before, as just one point separates the two teams in first and second. They’re evenly matched throughout the league campaign so far,…
For some, it may have seemed as though Man City were enduring the most unfortunate of breaks in the domestic season. Five players pulled out of duty for their national teams due to injury, with Haaland joining Ederson, Nathan Ake, Matheus Nunes and Mateo Kovacic in returning to Manchester. Rodri also sat out Spain’s 3-1 win over Cyprus due to ‘discomfort’, before returning to play the majority of their subsequent 3-1 win at home to Georgia. Those issues added to injuries for Kevin De Bruyne, John Stones and Sergio Gomez, with Pep Guardiola’s squad looking thin for one of the biggest games…
