Real Madrid forward Vinícius Júnior wanted his side to snap up a departing Liverpool legend last summer, it has been claimed. But instead, Roberto Firmino left Anfield and moved to the Saudi Pro League as his plea fell on deaf ears. Brazilian reporter Julio Gomes Filho, who works for UOL Esporte, claimed on The Transfers Podcast that Vinícius requested Real Madrid made a move for Firmino who was available on a free transfer. But while the Spanish side considered it, no offer was put forward in the end and another option in the striking department was signed instead. “Last year,…
The summer of 2024 will represent much change at Liverpool Football Club. For the first time in nine years, the Reds will experience a new manager taking over the reins, with Jurgen Klopp departing following the end of the Premier League season. His replacement is former AZ Alkmaar and Feyenoord manager Arne Slot, who will take charge of a club outside of his native country the Netherlands for the first time in his career. Klopp confirmed the appointment after Liverpool’s last Premier League game when he began a chant at Anfield in Slot’s name. As with any summer, speculation has…

In fact, that bond was summed up during the event, when it was announced that Klopp would become an ambassador for Liverpool whilst still being involved with the LFC foundation. All…
Former Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard has revealed that he sought the advice of Sir Alex Ferguson after his abrupt dismissal from Aston Villa in October 2022. Gerrard endured a short-lived tenure at Villa Park, lasting less than a year after taking over as Dean Smith’s successor. His tenure was marked by a disappointing run of just three wins from 12 Premier League games at the outset of the 2022/23 season. This dismissal came on the heels of a highly successful three-year stint with Glasgow Rangers, during which he led the team to an undefeated Scottish Premiership season, culminating in securing…
Ryan Gravenberch has been urged to take up a new position for Liverpool by a former Dutch legend ahead of Arne Slot’s arrival at Anfield. Liverpool are bracing themselves for one of their biggest summers in a decade with new boss Arne Slot being tasked with a rebuild at Anfield this summer.

Ryan Gravenberch has been advised to copy the example of a compatriot who’s played in a World Cup final. The 22-year-old joined Liverpool from Bayern Munich last year and has been included in Netherlands’ squad for Euro 2024, but he’ll be hoping to improve on his tally of 12 Premier League starts from his first season in England. Rafael van der Vaart spoke to Voetbal International about how the Reds’ number 38 could take his game to the next level, steering him in the direction of an ex-Manchester City player.

Liverpool boast a squad with great quality and several world-class players, but who is the highest valued player?

There’s also talk of key players and their uncertain futures; the trio of Mohamed Salah, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Virgil van Dijk all have their contracts up in 2025.…
Former Liverpool midfielder Xabi Alonso has been one of the standout managers in Europe this season. Despite only taking over at Bayer Leverkusen in October 2022, Alonso has completely transformed the Bundesliga side. In the 18 months he’s been charge, the Spaniard has taken Leverkusen from the relegation places, to winning the league title without losing a single game. Alonso’s team also secured the German Cup and although they lost the Europa League to an Ederson inspired Atalanta, their wonderful season will endure. Those who know Alonso best – like Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta – claim that he was always…
According to reports from Italy, an offer has been submitted for a player who’s been strongly linked with Liverpool in recent weeks. Calciomercato have claimed that a bid of €45m (£38.3m) including add-ons has been tabled by Juventus for Teun Koopmeiners, with the Bianconeri determined to fend off the competition for the Atalanta playmaker. However, the Europa League winners are expected to stick rigidly to their stance that the 26-year-old is worth at least €60m (£51m), which leaves the Turin club needing to bridge a substantial gap from their opening offer. Juve’s apparent low-balling could give Liverpool an opportunity to…
