Liverpool center-back Virgil van Dijk has suggested his team needs reinforcements to keep up with their Premier League rivals in the 2024-25 season. He also hinted that the Merseysiders had not yet offered him a contract extension despite him having less than a year remaining on his contract. Widely hailed as the best center-back in the world, Van Dijk has been at Liverpool since January 2018. Over the years, he has proven himself to be a rock at the back for the Reds, producing match-saving performances on cue. The Dutchman currently wears the captain’s armband for the 19-time English champions…
Liverpool’s agreement to sell Fabio Carvalho might not be the only talented youngster they let go this summer. A £27.5m deal has been agreed with Brentford for the sale of the 21-year-old which has potentially opened the door for others to walk out – as per the latest reports. For example, Tyler Morton – who impressed on loan last season – could exit. Moreover, Bobby Clark is garnering interest from RB Salzburg and could join former Liverpool assistant Pep Lijnders. Paul Joyce of The Times has reported that Liverpool are considering a third offer from RB Salzburg for Bobby Clark,…
Recent Liverpool reports have discussed their stance on sending some exciting youngsters out on loan this summer.

It might even happen this week…
The groan, the roll of the head and knowing smile were maybe only half in jest from Virgil van Dijk as he faced the media for what will likely be the first of many chats this season. The Liverpool captain, as has long been considered customary, was gracious enough to emerge for a post-match interview after the 4-1 win over Sevilla on Sunday. Van Dijk, who had only returned to training at the AXA Training Centre earlier that week, stopped to speak to a number of reporters after featuring for around 70 minutes of what was an impressive – if…
Jamie Carragher has heaped the pressure on Arne Slot ahead of his first season in charge of Liverpool by insisting the Reds have a chance of winning the Champions League. Slot will take charge of Liverpool for the first time in a competitive game on Saturday when he leads his new side into the 2024/25 Premier League season. The Reds make the journey to newly promoted Ipswich Town, where they will be looking to set the tone for the campaign.

Danny Murphy has revealed how Zinedine Zidane once left himself and Steven Gerrard with egg on their faces during a pre-season friendly. Throughout his career, Murphy played for several Premier League teams and had plenty of experience playing European football, including the 2010 Europa League final for Fulham. With that said, he only ever came up against Zidane once and it was during a friendly between Liverpool and Real Madrid while Murphy was still playing with the Merseyside club in 2002. The two sides met in a pre-season tournament at the Bernabeu and, despite Murphy’s experience playing against some of…
Diogo Jota has revealed that Arne Slot is very demanding of his Liverpool players with the new Reds coach not being entirely satisfied with their 4-1 victory over Sevilla on Sunday. Goals from the Portuguese, a Luis Diaz brace and Trey Nyoni clinched an emphatic win as the Dutchman oversaw his first match at Anfield. Scoring one and setting up another, Jota was one of the star performers against the Spanish outfit ahead of next weekend’s Premier League opener away at Ipswich Town. But speaking after the match, he offered an insight into the Anfield dressing room and life under…
Virgil van Dijk was insistent that Trey Nyoni milk every bit of his big moment at Anfield this afternoon! The 17-year-old came on as a substitute in the second half of Liverpool’s 4-1 win over Sevilla on Sunday lunchtime and netted the last of his team’s goals in the 67th minute with an exquisite volley, showcasing remarkable technique for such a young player. While it won’t be logged in the official record books, it’s nonetheless the teenager’s first goal in a senior Reds fixture, and it came in front of an exultant Kop in glorious sunshine. As Nyoni’s teammates advanced…
Liverpool beat Sevilla 4-1 at Anfield on Sunday in Arne Slot’s first match at Anfield as the new head coach. Here’s what we learned from the win. Needed to go strong Liverpool had a lot of returning players here who hadn’t featured in the previous friendlies. Arne Slot didn’t ease them back in, though, with the likes of Virgil van Dijk, Alisson Becker, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Luis Diaz and Alexis Mac Allister going straight into the starting XI. Not only that, but they played over an hour each. Slot explained ahead of the match that it was important they played a…
The Brazilian shot stopper has been given an extended break following a season hampered by injury, in which he missed a number of games for Liverpool. Caoimhin Kelleher has impressed in the Reds US pre-season tour but it is no secret that Alisson will remain the no.1 at Liverpool this season. Despite not yet having returned to the AXA training centre, it is expected that Alisson will be back sooner rather than later and Arne Slot will hope to have him back on the pitch as soon as possible. WHY DID ALISSON NEED SUCH A LONG BREAK? Brazil only made…
