Liverpool have been named a potential suitor for Real Madrid goalkeeper Andriy Lunin. The Ukranian shot stopper sees his contract expire in the summer of 2025, and according to reports, he has no intention of extending his stay at the Bernabéu. Lunin’s contributions to Real Madrid cannot be overlooked, especially during Courtois’ injury spells last season. The Ukrainian played a pivotal role in Real Madrid’s Champions League campaign, including notable performances in the knockout stages against the likes of Manchester City and Bayern Munich. Real Madrid’s willingness to negotiate stems from the need to either cash in on Lunin now…
Liverpool Set Price For Van Dijk Liverpool have placed a €55 million price tag on Virgil van Dijk amid growing interest from several Saudi Pro League clubs. The Dutch defender, who has just one year remaining on his contract, is reportedly open to a move to the Middle Eastern league this summer. Talks between Van Dijk’s representatives and the Public Investment Fund (PIF), which manages investments for Saudi clubs, have already taken place, with Van Dijk showing a strong inclination towards joining one of the Saudi teams. The Saudi Interest Liverpool are aware of the interest from Saudi clubs and…
Liverpool watched as Leny Yoro moved to Manchester United. The wisdom of that decision will only be known at the end of the season, or perhaps even further down the line — but one thing it’s probably safe to say now is that the Reds would be wise to find an alternative on the market. There’s no denying that Yoro’s move to Old Trafford looked bad from a Liverpool perspective. It appeared as if those at Anfield had simply assumed Yoro would be off to Real Madrid, while Manchester United was rewarded for its persistence with a player widely agreed…
Liverpool’s erstwhile manager Jurgen Klopp earned a reputation as a great tactician, but perhaps above all else he was known for his incredible relationships with his players. Yet even he had one or two cases where tension broke out. For the most part, Klopp squeezed the absolute maximum out of his charges, making sure the team at Anfield was far greater than the sum of its parts. But that’s not to say that the players were anything other than world-class, and those who did not quite make the grade ultimately had to be cut. When he arrived in 2015, Klopp…
James made more than 200 appearances for Liverpool in the 1990s. As with numerous cases within English football in the 2000s and 2010s, the wealth and lifestyle that comes with the top-tier has often shown to be fleeting and certainly not the ‘be all and end all’. Without suitable advice or planning, plenty of players from yesteryear struggled with their immense funds and, in a variety of examples, have seen poor investments, gambling or other vices, or simply baseless opulence with no plan B, spurn all their wealth. While it is refreshing to see a number of former pros make…
Liverpool are about to kick-start a new era under Dutch manager, Arne Slot, who has the daunting task of succeeding a legendary manager like Jurgen Klopp. The German coach is arguably the best to have managed the Merseyside club and any coach replacing him will be under tremendous pressure. If Slot could create even half of Klopp’s impact during his tenure as Reds boss, he would have done a good job. The Dutchman has started assembling pieces of his puzzle and could be set to make his first signing for the new project. According to Japanese outlet, Sponichi Annex, Liverpool…
When Dominic Matteo ran up a debt of £500,000 with one bookie, he knew his gambling addiction was seriously out of control. The ex-Liverpool, Leeds United and Scotland defender once bet £200,000 on a single horse race, ended up owing over £1million and going bankrupt. Now he has teamed up with gambling harm prevention specialist EPIC Global Solutions to warn about the dangers associated with betting. The 50-year-old will address players and staff at EFL, Scottish Premiership and Premiership Rugby clubs to speak about his gambling hell. Matteo said: “I think most footballers have an addictive personality and I grew…
Liverpool have issued a statement calling for an investigation after their under-18s took action over alleged racial abuse in Germany. On Friday during their opening match of the Bundesliga Cup youth tournament against Hoffenheim, a player said he was the target of racial abuse and this resulted in the team walking off the pitch. Then on Saturday the team left the field in protest after the same player said he was abused during a game against Frankfurt and this resulted in the match being abandoned. With regard to the two incidents, a statement from Liverpool, as per the BBC, reads:…
Liverpool are planning a late-window signing spree, with significant behind-the-scenes activity, according to former Everton CEO Keith Wyness. Media reports may not reflect these developments. Wyness Says Liverpool Have Hidden Plans Liverpool are reportedly preparing for a late-window signing blitz, contrary to media reports suggesting a quiet transfer period. According to former Everton CEO Keith Wyness, significant transfer activity is happening behind the scenes at Liverpool, orchestrated by Michael Edwards and new manager Arne Slot. Wyness, who now runs a football consultancy advising elite clubs, shared his insights on Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast. He believes that the duo will…
The problem with assessing the success or failure of transfers is that many people pass judgment far too quickly. It takes time for the true picture to take shape. Supporters of Manchester United will be delighted that their club beat Liverpool to the signing of Leny Yoro. Yet while he looks a fantastic prospect, there are no guarantees that he will become a world-beater. Yoro has been playing in Ligue 1 so will see his credentials severely tested in the higher environs of the Premier League. While not a perfect comparison, United beat the Reds to a signing last summer…
