Liverpool’s already slim hopes of signing Rodrygo in the future have taken yet another blow. Fabrizio Romano now confirms once again that the Real Madrid man has no intention of leaving the Spanish capital for the wonders of the Premier League. The 23-year-old Brazilian ‘only’ wants to stay with Los Blancos and is just as committed to the club even after the arrivals of Kylian Mbappe and Endrick. “We spent the whole summer with mentions of Rodrygo for Manchester City, with mentions of Rodrygo for Premier League football, maybe Saudi, many different stories. But Rodrygo always and only wanted to…
Arne Slot’s changes since taking over at Liverpool have been subtle yet noticeable. Evolution, not revolution, has been a phrase used to describe the transition from Jurgen Klopp to Slot. And one of the things that is clearly different between the two managers is how they each observe pre-match warm-ups. Jurgen Klopp famously used to stand in the centre circle before matches, watching the opposition players go through their paces as well as keeping an eye on his own players. Slot, meanwhile, takes a more withdrawn role, observing warm-ups from the technical area. Klopp’s way of watching an opposition team’s…
Emma Raducanu has reportedly broken up with her boyfriend Carlo Agostinelli with the pair unfollowing each other on social media. The former British No 1 is said to have started dating the son of American billionaire financier Robert Agostinelli since last May. They had posted several photos together on social media of them on holiday over the past 12 months. They were also snapped arm-in-arm at Paris Fashion Week in September last year. However, The Sun now report that they’re relationship has come to an end with the pair unfollowing each other online. A source said: “Emma has 2.4million followers…
Emma Raducanu has now suffered another blow in the wake of her recent US Open exit, with the 21-year-old now the No 3 British women’s player. The 21-year-old had gone into the final Grand Slam of the year hoping to summon the magic of three years ago, when she upset the odds to reign supreme. But Raducanu was beaten in three sets by Sofia Kenin in the first round of the competition. It was a huge setback for the Briton, who cut an emotional figure as she addressed the media in the aftermath of her defeat. Emma Raducanu has now…
Jannik Sinner is not known as one of the most expressive characters on the tennis scene. Even so, the Italian world number one’s more subdued demeanour was glaringly obvious during his march to the US Open title. Reserved celebrations and increased mindfulness were the result of Sinner being embroiled in a doping controversy that shook the tennis world to the core. In the week leading up to the final Grand Slam tournament of the season in New York, it was revealed Sinner had twice failed anti-doping tests earlier this year. Sinner, 23, was found to have low levels of clostebol…
Arne Slot has been Liverpool’s head coach for 100 days and has already made an impressive start to his Anfield tenure. With three games under his belt, the former Feyenoord boss has secured three wins, with his team netting seven goals and keeping three clean sheets – impressive stats, but they only reveal part of the picture. Slot has had some obstacles to overcome, such as the delayed return of international players from their summer tournaments, and missing out on his primary transfer target. On top of that, he’s faced the challenge of stepping into the shoes of Jurgen Klopp.…
Mohamed Salah’s admission that it would be his “last year” at Liverpool has concerned fans who expected the club to offer him a contract extension as a matter of urgency. The 32-year-old is free to discuss future terms with other teams from January and could walk away from Anfield for free next summer, as his contract expires on June 30, 2025. Salah has once again proved his importance to Liverpool with three goals and three assists already this season, and looks to be a major threat under Arne Slot. If Salah does leave the club he will depart as a…
Virgil van Dijk set the internet aflame after appearing to ignore Joshua Zirkzee in the tunnel ahead of the Netherlands’ 5-2 win over Bosnia-Herzegovina. The Dutchman skipped his international teammate – who went on to score in the game – when greeting his fellow Oranje players before the tie. The comments suggest there was nothing actually sinister in the moment on display, however, even accounting for the Manchester United star’s club allegiances. The pair were spotted celebrating together mid-game, which would certainly suggest a lack of a rift in the squad.
A former top-flight striker has offered his verdict on which players Liverpool should prioritise when it comes to offering new deals, with three stars in the final year of their current contracts. Virgil van Dijk, Mohamed Salah and Trent Alexander-Arnold are all in the same situation, as fears continue to mount amongst the Liverpool faithful over their potential departures. The trio can begin negotiations with overseas clubs in January over free transfers, as pressure grows on FSG’s football chief executive Michael Edwards and Liverpool sporting director Richard Hughes to decide what they want to do with their star men. An…
As Jannik Sinner digested his first triumph at the US Open on Sunday, afternoon, his victory closed out the first year since 2002 in which none of Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer has won a grand slam title, putting a new complexion on the sport. The Big Three era, once the focal point of men’s tennis, which in recent years has been held up solely by Djokovic’s excellence, is finished. There was once a time when it seemed like there might be a period of uncertainty as the old greats finally disappeared into the night, a long transition…
