Liverpool defender Andy Robertson has revealed he received a text from Jurgen Klopp ahead of Euro 2024, having broken a record for Scotland in the build-up. Robertson is set to lead his country out in the opening game of the tournament tomorrow as the Scots take on Germany in Munich. They’ll be aiming to upset the home supporters and make the perfect start in Group A, with Hungary and Switzerland also vying for a place in the knockout stages. Robertson heads into the tournament having broken the record for the most games as Scotland captain. The left-back donned the armband…
Manchester United and Liverpool are ‘actively pursuing’ a deal for Leny Yoro, although the Premier League duo are believed to be resigned to Real Madrid being favourites for the Lille wonderkid. Yoro has established himself as one of the standout young defenders in Europe, having been at the heart of a defence that conceded the third-least amount of goals in Ligue 1 last season. Lille president Olivier Letang confirmed this week that Yoro would be allowed to leave the club this summer as he enters the final year of his contract, having shown no desire to sign an extension. While…
Liverpool are reportedly considering a move for a goalkeeper who, just last summer, was considered to be not quite at the level of Manchester United’s Andre Onana. Fabrizio Romano, writing in his Daily Briefing for CaughtOffside, revealed that Feyenoord goalkeeper Justin Bijlow was on Manchester United’s watchlist in the summer of 2023. The Dutchman was identified as an alternative if the Red Devils failed to reunite manager Erik ten Hag with Onana, then playing for Inter Milan. “Bijlow was Man United’s plan B to Onana last summer, but it didn’t work out at that time, so let’s see if Premier…
Former Liverpool midfielder Dietmar Hamann believes new Reds head coach Arne Slot faces a difficult decision over the future of Darwin Nunez this summer. Nunez experienced another mixed campaign despite 18 goals and 13 assists in 54 appearances, moving him on to 50 goal contributions in 96 appearances for the Anfield outfit since arriving from Benfica for a potential club record £85million two years ago. The Uruguayan started just one of Liverpool’s last six games of the season and netted only once in the Premier League since returning from a hamstring complaint in early March. But Hamann said: “Liverpool have…
Liverpool have banked millions thanks to former flop Luis Alberto eight years after he quit Anfield. The Spaniard – who was on Merseyside between 2013 and 2016 – has completed a £8.4million transfer to Qatari side Al-Duhail. The move brings to an end Alberto’s successful stint with Italian giants Lazio. The now 31-year-old moved to Rome in 2016 after struggling with Liverpool. And the Reds were due around 30 percent of any future transfer fee that Lazio received for any sale. It means that the Reds have secured around £2.4m on top of the £3.3m that they banked when originally…
In the space of a few short months, Jarell Quansah has gone from Liverpool academy hopeful to genuine first-team colossus. Ever since his Reds debut in the win at Newcastle last August, the 21-year-old has looked the part at senior level for the club, making 33 appearances during the season and scoring three goals, not a bad return at all for a young centre-back. While he didn’t quite make the cut for England’s final Euro 2024 squad, he can still look back on the past year as a memorable one, and that’s exactly what he’s done on social media. From…
Most supporters will agree with Hutton’s sentiment that he doesn’t want to see Luiz leave at all this summer, but it seems like an even greater kick in the teeth that the deal is so financially poor for the Villans. Although PSR was always going to make it tough for Emery to keep his best talent, few would have expected Luiz to leave for less than £20million, even if players were included in the deal. Unai Emery will be gutted to lose Douglas Luiz at Aston Villa this summer Both Liverpool and Arsenal would have been expected to pay somewhere…
As recently as 18 months ago, Netherlands were within a couple of penalty kicks of the World Cup semi-finals. It didn’t quite happen, the Battle of Lusail ending in shootout defeat for them against Argentina after an epic late comeback in 90 minutes, but the Dutch looked back. Or back on the right path, at least, after missing the 2018 tournament and Euro 2016 altogether. In between those failures and their oh-so-close moment in Qatar, Euro 2020 wasn’t much better: a last-16 exit to Czech Republic was tame in the extreme. The winter World Cup, then, was their comeback moment,…
Jurgen Klopp is out of the door after he produced and wrote a historic trophy-winning chapter for one of English football’s great teams. Liverpool will now be hoping to re-write that under Arne Slot and there are several young stars he will be looking to transform. One of them is Harvey Elliott. The 21-year-old is one of Liverpool’s most exciting players and you feel you can build a midfield around him. But he isn’t the only 21-year-old fans are excited to see next season. Elliott broke onto the scene as a fresh-faced teenager. Whereas Jarell Quansah had a breakthrough campaign…
Conor Bradley scored twice in Northern Ireland’s victory over Albania. Conor Bradley fired his first international double to lead Northern Ireland to a 2-0 victory over Albania. The Liverpool defender netted twice in eight first-half minutes as Michael O’Neil’s men claimed a friendly win in Murcia. Bradley continued his fine form after an impressive breakthrough 2023-24 season at Anfield. He made a total of 23 goals, scoring once and started the Carabao Cup final triumph against Chelsea at Wembley. The 20-year-old is already a key player for Northern Ireland and earned his 16th cap against Albania. He delivered a talismanic…
