Liverpool was reportedly one of the sides that made a significant vote in favor of temporarily blocking related-party loans in the Premier League. Shareholders from various clubs convened on Tuesday to discuss and vote on the motion, which aimed to prevent clubs under the same ownership from signing players on loan from each other. The proposed ban was seen as a measure to protect the integrity of the competition while a permanent solution was being sought. Although the Premier League supported the implementation of the ban, it did not receive the necessary support from two-thirds of the clubs to pass…
Darwin Nunez continued his white-hot steak to help Uruguay to another impressive victory. After a 2-0 win over World Cup holders Argentina last week, La Celeste cruised to a 3-0 triumph over Bolivia in the earlier hours. Nunez fired a two-goal salvo, taking his tally to five goals in his past four appearances for Marcelo Bielsa’s side. He broke the deadlock with a volley in the 15th minute before putting the gloss on the victory with a close-range header with 20 minutes remaining. Given that the striker has already bagged seven times for Liverpool this season, it certainly bodes well…
Nunez is in fine form on both club and international stages, having registered 12 goals and nine assists for the Reds and Uruguay since the start of the campaign. His latest brace takes his tally under manager Marcelo Bielsa up to five goals and three assists in six games, placing him in fine form heading into a crucial meeting with the league leaders on Saturday lunchtime. One man who knows a thing or two about scoring for Liverpool and Uruguay is Luis Suarez, who spent three-and-a-half years on Merseyside and is widely regarded as one of the best players to…
Fulham are targeting a January move for Fluminense midfielder Andre, with Wolfsburg striker Jonas Wind among potential forward options. Marco Silva is expected to be heavily backed in the transfer market after signing a new contract until 2026. Fulham have moved ahead of Liverpool and Manchester United in the race to sign Andre after their chief executive Alistair Mackintosh flew to Brazil for face-to-face talks last week. Mackintosh was at the iconic Maracana stadium to watch the 22-year-old Brazil international lead Fluminense to victory over Boca Juniors in the final of the Copa Libertadores. Talks over a potential £30million move continue as Andre seeks a Premier League move after the Brazilian season ends in…
Luis Suarez will go down as one of the absolute greatest Uruguayan footballers ever. Maybe even the greatest – of course, Uruguay are two-time World Cup winners, so there’s a lot to contend with here. But there’s no question that Suarez is the face of his country’s resurgence in world football. He’s helped put them back on the map, while also carving out a reputation as one of the world’s greatest players. He’s now coming to the end, though. Suarez returned to Uruguay’s squad this week after being left out since the 2022 World Cup. It felt like something of…
There was no excuse for how bad Liverpool were during the 2022/2023 season. They were a shadow of themselves from the side that won the Champions League, the Premier League and a near undisputed quadruple. One little sliver of sympathy Klopp arguably had is that he was without some of his key players due to injury. Long-term injuries for Diogo Jota and Luis Diaz certainly hampered the Reds. Their quality was missed as much as their availability from the bench, or when rotating the side to provide fresh legs and options with the team’s shape. There were times last season when Liverpool would be…
Everton’s Premier League points deduction continues to send shockwaves through English football with Liverpool one of the clubs watching events unfold. The Reds did battle with Man City for the league title over the past 10 years and will do so again on Saturday when the two sides meet at the Etihad. But for now much of the focus remains on whether City will face punishment if found guilty of 115 charges of breaking financial rules. We’ll have the latest on that and any injury news as it happens.
Everton‘s stadium played host to the Young Lions’ latest U21 Euros qualifier in Tuesday’s home-nations clash, but strikes from a current Liverpool midfielder and a loanee were what stole the show. England went ahead when Morton – currently on loan at Championship side Hull – struck brilliantly from just outside the area to get his first goal for his country at U21 level. The 21-year-old made his debut for Lee Carsley’s side as a substitute in their 3-0 win over Serbia last week, and was trusted from the start in the latest contest. Morton jokingly described himself as “not bitter”…
The Premier League has taken a lot of heat over the past week amid its 10-point sanction of Everton as it tries to clamp down on rule breaches. The competition has grown exponentially in its 31 years of existence to reach a stratospheric realm that has to go down as one of England’s finest productions. Around a record £5.5billion of revenue was generated in the 2021/22 season with that figure rising as the years roll on. TV broadcasting rights account for a significant portion of the income, which in turn helps grow the game to ever-widening audiences. With these rights…
Liverpool’s trip to Manchester City on Saturday lunchtime could set the tone for what will be a busy six weeks or so for Jurgen Klopp. A first victory at the Etihad in the Premier League since 2015 will take them top of the table but a visit to the champions surely represents the toughest away-day of the calendar for Klopp and his players. Ahead of Saturday’s big game, the ECHO’s LFC writers pick their starting frontline as Klopp’s players go in search of a statement victory in Manchester. ‘Nunez and Diaz pace could be key on the counter’ Paul Gorst:…
