The defensive midfielder only joined Arsenal in January, completing a shock, deadline day move from rivals Chelsea for a fee of £12million. It was felt however that the Italian international was always going to be a short-term solution with Mikel Arteta expected to bring in a new player in his position come the summer. And that is exactly what happened with Declan Rice signing from West Ham for a club record £105m. With Rice and Thomas Partey ahead of him in the pecking order, and with just a year left on his contract, there has bene speculation that Jorginho could move on…
The Reds had a £111million bid for the midfielder accepted on Thursday night. Caicedo was due in the north-west on Friday to complete a medical with Liverpool.

Fabrizio Romano says the 21-year-old has now informed Liverpool that he only wants to join Chelsea. It means the saga has taken another astonishing twist, with the ball back in Chelsea’s court. As far as Brighton are concerned, little has changed as they accepted the largest bid. Chelsea will now have to match Liverpool’s bid to get the…
Liverpool’s pursuit of Moisés Caicedo has taken another intriguing turn with the midfielder reportedly preferring a move to Chelsea. The Reds had reached a club-record fee agreement with Brighton, paving the way for Caicedo’s move to Anfield. However, recent reports, from Fabrizio Romano among others, suggest that the Ecuadorean player may be having second thoughts about joining Liverpool, with Chelsea confident of outbidding its rival. Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino refused to comment directly on his side’s interest in Caicedo during a press conference on Friday ahead of the Premier League clash between the two clubs at Stamford Bridge on Sunday.…
Hello and welcome to our special Liverpool live blog, which will include yesterday’s updates as well as those for today, Friday, August 10.

In a painfully unsurprising way, the Moisés Caicedo saga is still not over, with Chelsea apparently “ready to raise our offer” (The Guardian) to “salvage” (Evening Standard) the situation, even after reportedly losing out to Liverpool at last night’s supposed bidding deadline. Liverpool’s accepted offer, either £110m or £111m, has even been confirmed by manager Jürgen Klopp in today’s press conference, though perhaps crucially, he says they only have an agreement with Brighton at the moment. Caicedo hasn’t given his blessing to the Reds yet, so in theory, we could jump back in with a bid of at least the…

The 2023/24 campaign has not even started yet and Real Madrid are already in major trouble with injuries. Thibaut Courtois, who has arguably been the best goalkeeper on the planet over the past few years, has picked up a potentially season-ending injury. The Belgian goalkeeper has torn his ACL.

They have Andriy Lunin as his cover, but the 24-year-old’s recent performances have left a lot to be desired However, world-class goalkeepers are hard to…
Both the Reds and Blues are desperate to make big-name additions in central midfield. Lavia, 19, and Caicedo, 21, are two players both sides have converged on. Indeed, Liverpool unsuccessfully bid three times for Lavia, with their highest offer totalling £45m. Chelsea thundered in with a bid worth £48m, though that too was rejected by Southampton who won’t budge from their £50m valuation. Lavia is understood to have his heart set on joining Liverpool. Indeed, Belgian journalist Sacha Tavolieri claimed Chelsea’s superior bid had not dampened his desire to move to Merseyside. However, Lavia’s future was put on the backburner through…

Liverpool formally submitted their proposal late on…
The new Premier League season begins this week. And at least, unlike last year, it seems as though there has been a bit of a break between campaigns. And Liverpool will have a lot of catching up to do after a dismal 2022/23 campaign saw them deposed early as League Cup and FA Cup holders, fail to reach the Champions League quarter-finals and, most damagingly, drop out of the top four for the first time in seven years. Renowned for being one of the most unpredictable leagues in the world, predicting how the campaign will play out is no simple…
