Sir Alex Ferguson used a clash with Liverpool as an excuse to break his promise of a week-long break to Dimitar Berbatov after the striker joined Manchester United. The cool-headed Bulgarian made a £30.75million move to Old Trafford on transfer deadline day in 2008. He was seen as a vital addition in United’s pursuit of a third successive Premier League title, which would have put them level with historic rivals Liverpool’s tally of 18. With Berbatov’s transfer from Tottenham being wrapped up so late, Ferguson assured the forward that he would receive some downtime before making his first appearance. But…
Arne Slot insists Mohamed Salah’s complaints about not being offered a contract yet are no distraction for Liverpool and said the stand-off might be bringing the best from his top scorer. Salah said on Sunday that he was “more out than in” amid protracted contract negotiations with his deal set to expire next summer and he is able to discuss a free transfer move next summer from the start of January. The Egyptian insisted Liverpool have not yet put a new deal on the table for him, though his agent, Remy Abbas, has been in talks with the Premier League…
Liverpool star is set to miss Liverpool’s clash against Real Madrid in the Champions League tomorrow night (8pm GMT). The goalkeeper was not spotted in the Reds’ training session at the AXA Training Centre this afternoon ahead of the visit of the Spanish giants. Alisson has been absent for almost two months with a hamstring injury suffered in a 1-0 win over Crystal Palace before October’s international break. The No.1 has missed Liverpool’s past eight matches, with Caoimhin Kelleher deputising. And Alisson is set to be unavailable for a ninth successive game, with head coach Arne Slot admitting the Brazilian…
At Anfield, few names carry as much weight as Mohamed Salah’s. The Egyptian King has been Liverpool’s talisman, rewriting records and lifting silverware since his arrival in 2017. Yet, as he enters the twilight of his prime, a storm, that’s been brewing for a couple of years now, threatens to suck the club into a violent vortex and tear at both heart and purse strings alike. Throwing caution to the increasingly-turbulent wind, Salah – whose Anfield deal is still set to expire at the end of the season – stoked the flames of his ongoing contract stand-off by informing reporters…
Unsurprisingly, Mohamed Salah has emerged as the talk of the town for his exploits on the pitch for Liverpool in recent weeks. The Egyptian has been in fine form under Arne Slot and has started every Premier League and UEFA Champions League under the new manager as the Reds find themselves at the top of the table in both competitions. Salah took centre stage once again last week as he scored a matchwinning brace to help Liverpool to a 3-2 win against Southampton, a result that took them eight clear of Manchester City in the Premier League summit. However, speculation…
The sight of Mohamed Salah signing his last contract extension in Mykonos in 2022 now seems like an eternity ago. Fast forward to November 2024 and the issue of the talismanic Egyptian’s future is once again front and centre for Liverpool fans. On Sunday, the 32-year-old bagged a brace as Liverpool went eight points clear at the top of the Premier League after a 3-2 win over Southampton at St Mary’s. But while the headlines the following day should have been about the Reds’ dominance this season and their very real title aspirations, it is Salah’s future that has been…
In a shocking turn of events, Vinicius Jr. is sidelined with a hamstring injury, forcing him to miss the epic Liverpool showdown! But that’s not the only blow – the Real Madrid sensation is now UNLOADING on UEFA, tearing into the football federation’s relentless scheduling that’s left him burned out! “Enough is enough!” Vinicius Jr. is demanding change, joining a chorus of players and fans who are fed up with the grueling calendar that’s sacrificing player health for the sake of the game! Will UEFA listen to Vinicius Jr.’s impassioned plea, or will the war on player welfare rage on?…
Liverpool face two huge games this week as the fixtures start to pile up thick and fast. Arne Slot’s side welcome Real Madrid and Manchester City to Anfield in the Champions League and Premier League respectively, looking to continue what has been an excellent start to the season. Top of the pile in Europe and a stunning eight points clear of City ahead of their showdown on Sunday, things couldn’t be going much better for the Dutchman in the opening few months of his tenure. Sunday’s dramatic 3-2 win over Southampton underlined their fighting spirit to go along with their…
As the January transfer window nears, Liverpool’s focus may well be on keeping their current stars rather than adding to them in the New Year. There’s just over a month to go until the window opens, although that might not be too welcome on Merseyside with Virgil van Dijk, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Mohamed Salah’s futures still in doubt as their contracts wind down. The latter of those has raised fears of a potential exit with his most recent comments, and it won’t be long until all three can negotiate pre-contract agreements with foreign clubs. With Liverpool riding high in the…
Mohamed Salah has claimed he is yet to receive a formal offer from Liverpool, admitting he is “disappointed” not to have made a breakthrough with the club over a new contract. And the Reds star, who scored twice on Sunday to help Arne Slot’s team go eight points clear in the Premier League with a 3-2 win over Southampton, teased that he is now “more out than in” because of the ongoing impasse. Salah is edging close to the final six months of a deal signed in late June of 2022, which means he can speak to clubs outside of…
