Liverpool superstar has made a huge decision regarding his future, informing the club that he wishes to leave on a free transfer next summer to join Real Madrid.¹ This news comes as a massive boost to Real Madrid’s plans, as reinforcing the right-back position is one of their top priorities. Alexander-Arnold’s decision is reportedly not a negotiation tactic to improve Liverpool’s offer, but a genuine desire to join Real Madrid. He’s even spoken to his friend and compatriot Jude Bellingham, who plays for Real Madrid, about life in Madrid and at the club, which helped solidify his decision. Liverpool, however,…
In the annals of Liverpool Football Club history, the year of 2024 might, in time, come to be defined as a seismic one. From the January bombshell of Jurgen Klopp’s announcement that he was to step down, through to the restructuring at executive level and then the appointment of Arne Slot as the first-ever ‘head coach’, it’s been a period of deep transition. Results on the pitch that have been gleaned from the same set of players that Slot inherited from Klopp have masked the fact that the club has been in as big a state of flux it has…
As far as starts to the season go, it could not have gone much better for Liverpool. The same could be said of the events of Boxing Day. The Reds had to wait until 8pm and the last match of the day to take on Leicester City at Anfield. But by that stage they had already watched two of their rivals for the Premier League crown drop precious points. While most people had already ruled Manchester City out of winning an unprecedented fifth title in a row, their 1-1 draw at home to improving Everton in the early kick-off effectively…
Van Dijk, 33, was asked if he felt Arne Slot’s side could win all four major trophies after the Merseysiders destroyed Tottenham Hotspur 6-3 go guarantee top spot at Christmas. And it’s not the first time Liverpool have been tipped to make history in recent years, as they were touted to win all four honours in the 2019/20 and 2021/22 seasons, as well as last term. While under the tutelage of Jurgen Klopp, the Reds did win the Premier League, the FA Cup and two League Cups over the course of those seasons. But some fans were left at little…
Virgil van Dijk has let fans in on his secret to staying at the top of his game: a strict routine of breathing exercises and meditation. The 33-year-old has won it all in his time with the Reds, including the Premier League and the Champions League, alongside numerous personal awards. Now in phenomenal form with Arne Slot’s side flying high, he’s aiming to propel Liverpool to more glory this season. Despite being required to deliver consistently strong performances on the pitch, Van Dijk says he gives equal importance to off-pitch recovery methods. He candidly shared how meditation and relaxation techniques…
Roberto Martinez, the former Everton boss and current Portugal head coach, has weighed in on Trent Alexander-Arnold’s ongoing contract saga at Liverpool. With the 26-year-old’s deal expiring in the summer of 2025, there’s a lot of speculation around his Anfield future, especially as he’ll be free to talk to foreign clubs come January. Real Madrid is reportedly leading the chase for the Alexander-Arnold, who boasts over 300 appearances and a full trophy cabinet with the Reds. Currently, under Arne Slot’s guidance, Liverpool is flying high domestically and in Europe. Martinez, who was part of Amazon Prime’s punditry team alongside Liverpool…
Arne Slot insisted he was not feeling any extra weight of expectation despite the commanding position his Liverpool side have built at the top of the Premier League table. A 3-1 win over Leicester on Boxing Day saw Liverpool open up a seven-point gap prior to Arsenal‘s match against Ipswich on Friday and their imperious form – Slot’s side have still only lost one league game all season – has made them clear favourites for the title in his first season in charge. They showed their resilience again against Leicester, coming from behind after Jordan Ayew scored six minutes in,…
Liverpool will attempt to round off an incredible first half to the season on Sunday when they travel to West Ham United. The Reds will go into the game top of the Premier League, top of the Champions League and in the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup. That is the result of a remarkable return of 22 wins, three draws and just one defeat from their opening 26 matches of the campaign across all competitions. And what makes that all the more impressive is the fact that new head coach Arne Slot has had to operate without some important players…
