Where else to start but with Mohamed Salah? CBS say Al Ittihad are preparing to make a bid worth up to £129m for the Egyptian forward – though only £86m of that would be guaranteed with the rest divided into add-ons. Rumours have circled the Reds’ all-time top Premier League goalscorer for much of the summer, despite both his own agent’s and Jurgen Klopp’s claims that Salah is not for sale. According to James Benge of CBS Sport, Saudi Pro League champions Al Ittihad have made Salah their top target before their transfer window closes on 20 September and are willing…
Liverpool were already in need of a centre-back but that has only increased in recent days. Virgil van Dijk’s suspension and Ibrahima Konate’s injury only show up the lack of depth Jurgen Klopp has in the middle of his defence. Joel Matip was brought in for his first appearance of the season in Saturday’s dramatic 2-1 win at Newcastle. He came in for Konate, who is likely to be out until after the international break with a muscular problem. Van Dijk was then sent off in the 28th minute for denying Alexander Isak a clear goalscoring opportunity. He didn’t like the decision but…
Liverpool came from behind for the second weekend in succession to earn a memorable win at Newcastle United on Sunday. A late brace from substitute Darwin Nunez wiped out an early strike from Anthony Gordon as the Reds secured a 2-1 triumph despite being reduced to 10 men following Virgil van Dijk’s early red card. Liverpool will now aim to continue their impressive start to the season when they entertain Aston Villa next Sunday. And here we look ahead to the changes Jurgen Klopp could make when his team are next in action. Central reservations Liverpool are almost certain to be without…
Deadline day is less than a week away and there is still plenty of meat on the bones for the likes of Tottenham, Liverpool and Manchester United. Managers and sporting directors across the Premier League are running out of time to plug any remaining gaps in their squad before knuckling down until January. Spurs’ promising start under Ange Postecoglou continued on Saturday with a comfortable win over Bournemouth. The opportunity to work with the Aussie coach could therefore carry some weight if the Londoners come calling, although offloading players is still believed to be one of the club’s top priorities.…

Natasha Flint’s well-taken effort in the second half cancelled out a fine opening goal from Jade Le Guilly, as the contest at Stade Michel-Bendichou ended 1-1 after 90 minutes. But the French side would win the resulting shootout 2-1 after Missy Bo Kearns, Gemma Bonner, Jenna Clark and Yana Daniels were unsuccessful with their attempts from 12 yards out. The two teams were separated in an even start to the contest in Colomiers by a moment of brilliance from Le Guilly. PSG, who had earlier clipped the post through Ana Vitoria, took the lead in the 21st minute when Le…
According to Football Transfers, Liverpool may have added Jarrod Bowen to their list of potential Mohamed Salah replacements. The 26-year-old West Ham star will carry a massive price tag, as any move so late in the window will prove difficult. Liverpool are in a bit of a sopup so late in the transfer window, as they could yet lose star attacker Mohamed Salah to Saudi side Al Ittihad. The Middle East side have shown persistence despite Jurgen Klopp publicly insisting the Egyptian will not leave the club. Liverpool opened the Saudi door earlier in the window when they allowed Jordan…

The result leaves the Reds fourth in the Premier League table, two points off Manchester City, which is now the only team with a 100 per cent record. But how are the rest of Europe’s big leagues shaping up after the early going? Well, Bayern Munich is second in the Bundesliga, only trailing Union Berlin on goals scored, after Harry Kane marked his home debut with two goals in a 3-1 win over Augsburg. In Spain, it’s Real…

Chelsea have already spent around £350 million ($440m) on transfers this summer, but manager Mauricio Pochettino is keen to bring in further attacking reinforcements. According to the Daily Mail, Todd Boehly’s club are weighing up moves for Smith Rowe, Raphinha and Ferran Torres.

Reports have claimed that Chelsea are now set to announce their brand new sponsorship in the coming days. According to Football London, they will be finally able to announce a partnership with Infinite Athlete, worth up to £40m a season. It has been somewhat of a nightmare for Todd Boehly and the Chelsea hierarchy this summer as they have looked to replace Three as their shirt sponsor for the upcoming season. Any previous efforts have been rebuffed one way or another, and this left the club no option but to start the campaign without a sponsor on the front of…
