Liverpool didn’t do much transfer business this summer, but they still managed to get into the headlines.

Many think that this is a bargain deal for the club and those in the Anfield boardroom are back…

Mohamed Salah left fans more than a little panicked as he declared it was his ‘last year’ with the Reds, seemingly in an attempt to spring the club into action. The good news is, according to the ECHO, Salah…
Liverpool forward Darwin Nunez has been hit with a five-match international ban. Luis Suarez has backed Darwin Nunez to come back stronger after the Liverpool forward was slapped with a hefty international suspension. Nunez is currently serving a five-match ban for Uruguay.

Nunez was also given a $20,000 fine. It means that the 25-year-old will not feature in Suarez’s final game for Uruguay against Paraguay on Saturday. The former Liverpool and…

Liverpool superstar Mohamed Salah has been a prime target for the Saudi Pro League, with the Middle Eastern competition making a massive £150 million bid for him last summer. While Liverpool rejected the offer, it is anticipated that Saudi clubs will return with another approach at the end of the season, aiming to secure Salah on a free transfer. However, reports suggest that Salah himself is not keen on a move to Saudi Arabia. According to Liverpool Echo correspondent Paul Gorst, there are multiple factors behind the Egyptian’s reluctance to leave Anfield. One of the main reasons cited for Salah’s…

There were no Liverpool players on the Ballon d’Or shortlist in the end. Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk are among those who have been on there before but after a year outside of the Champions League places, the Reds were overlooked. Arne Slot won’t mind too much, though. As he was keen to remind reporters several times during the summer, the roster that he inherited from Jurgen Klopp is very strong — and his side is yet to concede a goal in competitive action under his stewardship. Liverpool only bought Federico Chiesa for the coming season but part of…
With Luis Diaz staying at Liverpool amid interest from Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain, the club are now set to offer their No. 7 a new long-term contract. Diaz attracted interest from two of Europe’s biggest clubs over the summer, with Barcelona particularly keen as they sought to strengthen out wide. But having returned from Copa America for the final stages of pre-season, it was quickly made clear that Arne Slot viewed the 27-year-old as a key player.
