Liverpool super star is out of contract at the end of the season but you would be hard-pressed to find anyone who doesn’t think he should be tied down to an extension. “Discussions are ongoing, we will see what happens in the future,” Van Dijk told reporters including from Liverpool.com about his situation after the Chelsea game in October. “My full focus is on Liverpool, wanting to win games that are ahead of me and nothing else. “What the future will bring I have no idea at the moment. I can only tell you that discussions have started and we…
Arne Slot has warned his Liverpool players that they cannot take Southampton lightly. He believes the players need to get the job done on Sunday before focusing on the Real Madrid and Manchester City games next week. Speaking to the media ahead of the match, Slot admitted that he is confident that his players will be focused ahead of the Southampton clash this weekend. He added that the players are aware about not taking any side lightly. “I am confident that (the players keeping their focus) will happen. For me it is not just to do with age. We do…
Mohamed Salah has reportedly backed Omar Marmoush’s arrival at Liverpool, with his Egyptian compatriot tearing up the Bundesliga this season. The Eintracht Frankfurt forward has been on fire so far this campaign, having already racked up 14 goals and 10 assists across all competitions, with the Bundesliga side sitting third in the league. Already calling himself a team-mate of Salah at the international level, the 25-year-old may find himself sharing a dressing room with the Liverpool legend, according to reports from BILD. The German newspaper reported that Salah personally made a case for Liverpool to sign his compatriot and that…
Troy Deeney loves stirring up a debate, and he’s done so this week when naming football’s only five world-class players (in his eyes, at least) and snubbing Kylian Mbappe. The former Watford captain gave interesting reasoning behind his stance on the Real Madrid superstar, who is currently struggling to reach expectations at the Santiago Bernabeu. Mbappe, 25, joined Madrid as a free agent after leaving PSG in the summer. Many anticipated the France captain would thrive in the Spanish capital, but that hasn’t happened. The 2018 World Cup winner has managed eight goals and two assists in 16 games, cutting…
Carlos Alcaraz set an impressive benchmark during the first half of the 2024 season, clinching prestigious titles including the French Open and Wimbledon. Nonetheless, the latter part of the season saw a decline for the young Spaniard, who captured only one title since mid-August. Shocking defeats to players ranked outside the top 30, such as Gael Monfils, Botic Van De Zandschulp, and Tomas Machac, led to significant point losses, culminating in Alcaraz finishing the year ranked World No. 3. In light of this lack of form, former ATP star Sam Querrey has made the audacious prediction that Alcaraz might tumble…
The season of Carlos Alcaraz ended sooner than anticipated. The Spanish team’s run in Malaga ended on Day 1 against the Netherlands, despite the young Spanish champion’s desire to help Spain win the Davis Cup Finals. All of the Spanish team members were extremely disappointed because Rafael Nadal’s career came to an end at the Davis Cup Finals. Alcaraz’s next objective is to improve his consistency throughout the season in order to move closer to Jannik Sinner’s top spot in the ATP rankings. In the final tournaments of the season, Carlos’ ups and downs were the key factor that allowed…
Trent Alexander-Arnold has been warned against making a move to Real Madrid next summer. Arsenal legend Emmanuel Petit believes the vice-captain “can become one of the best players in Liverpool history” if he commits his long-term future to the club. Alexander-Arnold’s Anfield terms expire at the end of the season and he is less than two months away from being able to speak to clubs outside of England about a pre-contract agreement, with Real Madrid heavily linked. Reports from Spain have been circulating since the summer about the current Champions League holders’ interest in the Reds’ No.66 but Petit, who…
This summer was noticeably quiet, with just Federico Chiesa coming through the door, who has been predominantly injured during his stay so far, while Giorgi Mamardashvili is not set to arrive until next season as part of a condition of his transfer. And in addition to the lack of transfers on the Red side of Merseyside, there also exists the possibility of a mass exodus, as Mohamed Salah, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Virgil Van Dijk still have uncertain futures as a result of the stalled ongoing contract negotiations with Liverpool executives. Each player will be allowed to enter talks with other…
Paul Merson has issued a stark warning to Liverpool, suggesting that the unresolved contract situations of Trent Alexander-Arnold, Mohamed Salah, and Virgil van Dijk could create a “toxic” atmosphere at Anfield. As it stands, all three players’ contracts are set to expire at the end of the season, with negotiations ongoing between Liverpool and each player’s representatives. The future of these key players remains uncertain, with speculation rife about their next moves. The Liverpool ECHO reported in September that Salah is keen to extend his stay at Liverpool, while Alexander-Arnold has been linked with Real Madrid and Van Dijk’s future…
The Reds lead the way in the English top flight having swiftly embraced Arne Slot’s tactical philosophy and have tasted defeat just once across all competitions this term. They have a busy week ahead with visits from Real Madrid and Manchester City but the Merseyside club have shown their ability to tangle with the best and brightest this term. Southampton should pose less threat to Liverpool but are themselves desperate for points in their bid to beat the drop. Any complacency will be punished by the Saints, even if they do sit rock bottom of the standings. Here is how…
