Barcelona, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain are expected to face disappointment as reports indicate that Trent Alexander-Arnold has been convinced to sign a new deal with Liverpool. The England international, who has won three Man of the Match awards in the last four games for his country, is one of the best attacking fullbacks in the world and the Reds are confident of holding on to him. According to an exclusive story covered by TBR, despite huge interest in the 26-year-old star, Liverpool know Trent will eventually end up signing a new deal and they have tabled a…
Liverpool have received a significant boost as Mohamed Salah may not be required for Egypt during the upcoming international break, while discussions about extending his Anfield contract continue. Salah sat out Egypt’s 1-0 victory over Mauritania this week due to concerns about potential injury on their artificial pitch – with manager Hossam Hassan also worried about the striker coming up against “violent” defending. Both Egypt and Liverpool have been meticulous in managing Salah’s fitness to ensure he is at his best for key matches, and now that Egypt has qualified for the African Cup of Nations, there is a possibility…
Mario Balotelli pointed the finger at Brendan Rodgers for his failure at Liverpool – insisting that the former Reds manager’s tactics didn’t play to his strengths. The Italian striker, who made a surprise £16million switch from AC Milan in 2014, was brought in as a potential replacement for Luis Suarez but failed to deliver. Rodgers, now at Celtic, took a gamble on Balotelli that didn’t pay off, with the forward netting a dire four goals in 28 appearances, and only one in the Premier League. After just one season, Balotelli found himself out of favour, leading to a loan move…
According to reports, Liverpool ‘already know’ England international Trent Alexander-Arnold is leaving amid interest from Spanish giants Real Madrid. Alexander-Arnold‘s future at Liverpool is in doubt as he has just entered the final year of his contract. Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk are in the same boat and it remains to be seen whether the three players will commit their futures to Liverpool. The 26-year-old is a unique talent and he’s regarded as one of the best right-backs in the world. His impressive start to the season has not gone unnoticed as he is being heavily linked with Real…
Liverpool faces Chelsea this Sunday against the backdrop of increasing animosity between the two teams. Arne Slot’s side appear to be responding in kind following an escalation in tensions from the Blues. Since the Roman Abramovich takeover in 2003, which cast Chelsea as the rich upstarts, bad blood with Liverpool has never been far away. The pair met in a series of loveless encounters over the course of that decade, with Rafa Benitez and Jose Mourinho figureheads of the rivalry. Under the reign of Todd Boehly, Chelsea’s spending has if anything been even more obnoxious, rubbing much of the Premier…
The Reds have made an encouraging start to life under Arne Slot, winning nine of the head coach’s first 10 matches in charge across all competitions. Slot’s team currently sit top of the Premier League and have taken six points from their opening two Champions League fixtures, as well as continuing their defence of the Carabao Cup trophy by beating West Ham United 5-1 in round three. Sunday’s meeting with Chelsea at Anfield marks the resumption of the club campaign following the October international break and, on Liverpool’s longer-term targets, Gakpo told Sky Sports: “Hopefully we can win everything! “It’s…
Liverpool are being linked with three centre-backs ahead of the January transfer window. The Reds were heavily linked with signing a new centre-back this summer, but instead opted to stick with existing options in the squad. Arne Slot made one new addition to the Liverpool squad which he inherited from Jurgen Klopp this summer. Italy star Federico Chiesa arrived from Juventus – with goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili not officially moving to Anfield until next summer and he remains at Spanish giants Valencia. The January transfer window is now a couple of months away, at which point Liverpool will be able to…
This kind of thing just didn’t happen at Barrow. Still finding his bearings at right-back, Luca Stephenson looked up and saw Luis Diaz barrelling towards him while, on the other flank, Mohamed Salah loitered with intent as Arne Slot watched from the sidelines. After a season on loan in League Two, this summer was a first taste of the elite level at Liverpool for the Academy graduate. And Stephenson knew now was the time to impress. “I’d never really trained with the first team until I came back from Barrow,” he says to the ECHO. “It was a surreal moment.…
Mario Balotelli blamed his failure at Liverpool on Brendan Rodgers – claiming the tactical choices made by the ex-Reds boss didn’t suit him. The former Manchester City star secured a shock £16million move to Anfield from AC Milan in 2014 and was seen as the replacement for Luis Suarez who departed that same summer for Barcelona. Despite his previous heroics in England and Italy, Rodgers’ acquisition of the striker was a clear risk and one that backfired massively on the now-Celtic boss. The Euro 2012 finalist with Italy managed a measely four goals in 28 games for the Reds with…
It was the shock transfer of the summer that didn’t happen. And while Anthony Gordon remains very much at Newcastle United, Mark Lawrenson believes Liverpool have still become beneficiaries of the failed move to Anfield. The Reds reached an agreement that valued winger Gordon at £75million in a deal that would have seen Joe Gomez move in the opposite direction for £45m before the Magpies pulled the plug. Lawrenson, the celebrated former Anfield centre-back and one-time coach at Newcastle, expects Liverpool to rekindle their interest in Gordon next summer. But he has pointed to how the move for the England…
