Salah was the subject of Saudi interest during the summer transfer window, with Liverpool rejecting one bid from Al Ittihad reportedly worth up to £150m. It was speculated that the Pro League champions, who also brought in Karim Benzema, Ngolo Kante and Fabinho over the summer, were willing to spend a world-record amount to land the 31-year-old Egyptian, though ultimately no such offer was ever formalised before the transfer deadline passed on 7 September.…

Bundesliga side Werder Bremen is experiencing an all-too-familiar feeling when it comes to recent signing Naby Keïta. Bremen signed the player on a free transfer after his contract with Liverpool wasn’t renewed in the summer, and many in Germany believed that the signing of Keïta was something of a coup for Bremen. Keïta’s move has been a failure in the early stages, with the old issue of injuries rearing its ugly head at his new club.

Reds ‘haven’t parked’ Andre Liverpool may have made four midfield signings over the summer, but one of the targets from that window remains on the horizon. Andre was linked to Anfield at various points before the 2023/24 season got underway, but his progress in the Copa Libertadores with Fluminense ultimately hampered those negotiations. The Reds failed in their attempts to land defensive midfielders Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia before eventually turning to Wataru Endo from Stuttgart. Endo has started just one Premier…

Jurgen Klopp has been told to drop Cody Gakpo in favour of Darwin Nunez when Liverpool return to Premier League action.

The club’s record signing has scored three times in the Premier League, as well as notching two assists. He also scored and assisted in the Europa League opener against LASK. Gakpo meanwhile has scored just three times in all competitions, with former Liverpool star Danny Murphy now demanding that Klopp make a change up-front. “I really like what I see.…

Dominik Szoboszlai was clearly a big fan of Steven Gerrard before he even became a Liverpool player and this is illustrated on his own arm, as he has a quote from our former captain inked on there. The Hungarian showed this artwork to Joel Matip and Diogo Jota, when he said: “I actually have one from [Steven] Gerrard”. To which his Portuguese teammate replied: “You have one from Gerrard?” Our No.8 responded with: “Yeah. This one, if you can read it…” When the former Wolves man then said: “Not from here I can’t”. Before the midfielder finally revealed: “..I’ll give you a lot of…

Dominik Szoboszlai‘s career so far has taken him from Hungary to Austria, Germany and England. Here David Lynch speaks to the Liverpool FC No.8’s former coaches in an exclusive look at the impressive story – so far!. Perhaps because he was so enamoured by it, it is Jesse Marsch who best sums up the sense given by so many of Szoboszlai’s former coaches that he has always been in possession of a confidence bordering on arrogance.

On Tuesday, Hazard officially announced his retirement at the age of just 32, having been released by Real at the end of his contract last summer. Inevitably, the social media debate over which of the two players is a greater Premier League legend has resurfaced,…

There’s been plenty of change at Liverpool in recent years. Indeed, the Champions League winning team of 2019 has been slowly but surely disassembled, and now, only a few remain from that squad. The likes of Roberto Firmino, Jordan Henderson and Fabinho have all moved on, while the biggest casualty from that squad may well have been Sadio Mane. The Senegalese star left Anfield last year for Bayern Munich, and many believe that the Reds’ dip last season may have been a direct result of Mane’s departure. Speaking on the BBC Match of the Day Top 10 Africa Podcast, Efan…
