Jurgen Klopp insists Liverpool must qualify for the Champions League this season – not only to protect the club’s reputation but also due to the financial constraints of missing it. Last season saw the Reds miss out on a top-four finish for the first time in the German’s seven full seasons at Anfield. It means Liverpool will contest in the Europa League this time around. Prior to their fifth-placed finish in May, Liverpool had established themselves as one of the most feared sides in Europe as they reached three Champions League finals in five seasons, claiming their sixth European Cup…
Last week, the Bianconeri couldn’t find an agreement with the Blues over an exchange deal that includes Dusan Vlahovic. The Serbian certainly has a higher value given his younger age, but the two clubs are still arguing over transfer fees. But according to Il Corriere dello Sport, Juventus now have the resources to afford the Lukaku operation. As the source explains, the Italian giants have thus far collected 87 million euros on the market, while only spending around 19 million. Thus, the Bianconeri could be willing to lower their asking price and accept an offer of 30 million euros plus Lukaku…
In the heart of the summer transfer window, Stamford Bridge has been buzzing with activity. Chelsea and Liverpool, two of the Premier League’s giants, are gearing up for a Sunday showdown, but it’s not just the on-pitch battle that’s drawing attention. Chelsea’s top brass, led by Todd Boehly, is said to be orchestrating a grand unveiling of Moises Caicedo during the half-time break of their face-off against Liverpool. If the Ecuadorian prodigy graces the Stamford Bridge turf, it would be a stinging setback for the Merseyside club. Just days ago, Liverpool had seemingly secured Caicedo’s signature from Brighton with a…
Liverpool faces Chelsea at Stamford Bridge later today in the opening match of the Premier League season for the pair but the focus has almost exclusively been on the pursuit of Brighton’s Moisés Caicedo — and to some extent Southampton’s Roméo Lavia — over the last few days. Whatever happens in the transfer market, Liverpool could really do with getting one over Chelsea to make a real statement at the very beginning of the new season. Given the number of changes that Mauricio Pochettino has had to oversee, it might not be the worst time to be facing his side. We asked Liverpool…
It is game day! This afternoon, Chelsea will host Liverpool at Stamford Bridge as both teams try to get the 2018 Premier League season off to a good start. In each of their previous four meetings, it has ended 0-0 after 90 minutes but, as the Mosies Caicedo tug-of-war prolongs, it looks set to be a feisty affair. It’s believed that Liverpool were first to agree a deal with Brighton for the 21-year-old midfielder, who actually prefers a move to west London. Nevertheless, the transfer race seems to be coming to an end but it remains to be seen who will…
Thomas Tuchel has admitted his Bayern Munich side “didn’t create enough” for Harry Kane as the England captain’s debut ended in defeat. Kane came off the bench in the DFB Supercup – Germany’s equivalent of the Community Shield – less than 24 hours after his record-breaking move was made official. Bayern were trailing to RB Leipzig when the new signing came onto the field, and ended up losing 3-0 courtesy of a Dani Olmo hat-trick. “We don’t expect him to be the superhero,” Tuchel told reporters after the game. “We just expect him to be who he is. A top guy, a…
