Former Liverpool star Emre Can made an “emotional” message after helping guide Borussia Dortmund to the Champions League final. Tuesday night saw Dortmund face Paris Saint-Germain in the second leg of their semi-final, where they held a 1-0 advantage. Dortmund won the second leg at the Parc des Prince 1-0 thanks to a Mats Hummels goal to win the tie 2-0 overall and secure a spot in next month’s final at Wembley Stadium. Can captained Dortmund to victory over PSG and played the full 90 minutes in the French capital. The former Liverpool midfielder will now prepare for the third…
It takes a lot of nerve to back out of a proposed transfer to Liverpool right before going for a medical, but that’s exactly what one player did in the opening weeks of 2022. Fabio Carvalho eventually got his move to Anfield later that year, but in an interview with the Liverpool Echo, he explained his reasons for pulling the plug on a January deal, despite an agreement being struck whereby he’d sign for the Reds permanently and be loaned straight back to Fulham. The 21-year-old revealed that he knew of LFC’s interest prior to the winter transfer window, but…
Liverpool may have to smash a European club’s transfer record in order to sign an “electric” player with similarities to Mohamed Salah this summer, according to a fresh claim. Liverpool transfer news Last summer saw the Reds completely rebuild their midfield, with it abundantly clear that the likes of Fabinho, Jordan Henderson and Naby Keita were no longer the forces they once were. In came Alexis Mac Allister, Dominik Szoboszlai, Wataru Endo and Ryan Gravenberch, making a huge difference to the levels of energy in the middle of the park. This time around, further signings will be needed for incoming…
I did what Jamie Carragher said wasn’t for him at Liverpool FC’s Anfield stadium, writes Paul McAuley. I’m not talking about helping bring back two FA cups to the Reds’ home ground or playing a key role in the squad’s 2005 Champions League miracle comeback against AC Milan in Istanbul. I’m talking about climbing to the top of the Main Stand roof of one of the largest all-seater single stands in European football and descending down the side of the stadium. The football pundit and former defender took on the challenge alongside Gary Neville as part of Sky Max’s Overlap…
Fabio Carvalho has pointed to one match in particular as the moment he knew that he was regarded as a peripheral player at Liverpool. The attacker joined from Fulham in 2022 and enjoyed a bright start to his time at Anfield, scoring in consecutive Premier League games in his first month at the club. However, his last top-flight start came in October of that campaign in a defeat to Nottingham Forest, and once he was withdrawn at half-time in a Carabao Cup tie against Manchester City two months later despite finding the net, the penny had well and truly dropped.…
Cody Gakpo is perhaps more familiar with his soon-to-be new manager, Arne Slot, than any of his Liverpool teammates. The Dutchman became the latest Red to speak about the Feyenoord boss after scoring in Liverpool’s 4-2 victory over Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday. Speaking to Viaplay, he admitted he was ‘very curious’ about the prospect of his compatriot replacing Jurgen Klopp in the Anfield dugout, as he recalled the ‘often difficult games’ he played against Slot’s Feyenoord side from his own time in the Eredivisie. Virgil van Dijk once crossed paths with Slot when his compatriot was still a player for…
Liverpool under-18 striker Keyrol Figueroa has signed his first professional deal with the club. A United States under-17 international, the striker is a son of former Wigan Athletic and Hull City left back Maynor Figueroa. Figueroa, 17, has scored three goals and made two assists in eight under-18 Premier League matches this season, and has been prolific in the youth sectors for the USA as well. The frontman has returned nine goals from 14 outings at under-17 level in the international ranks. Born in Tegucigalpa, Honduras when his dad was a player for Olimpia, Figueroa lived in England as a…
The end of the Jürgen Klopp era is almost upon us: with 489 games gone, two more remain. Labeling Liverpool a ‘special’ club in his very first press conference at Anfield, it would be an understatement to say the feeling of respect between manager and club is reciprocated. And that was summed up last Thursday, when Liverpool-based artist Abigail Rudkin went viral after she was invited to meet the Liverpool manager. The video of the pair — requested by Klopp — has been viewed 1.7 million times on her Twitter/X page alone. “Getting four Klopp hugs in one day is…
It’s been a tough few days for Darwin Nunez, who faced severe and unwarranted online abuse following his cameo from the substitutes’ bench in Liverpool’s weekend Premier League win against Tottenham. Nunez, 24, missed one very good chance during the game, won 4-2 by the Reds, and afterwards deleted all Liverpool-related posts from his Instagram account. The Uruguayan striker is without a goal in his last six Premier League matches, leading to speculation that he is unhappy and would be seeking a summer transfer. Barcelona and Atletico Madrid have both been linked with the ex-Benfica man, although with Liverpool having…
Liverpool faces a huge summer as it bids to challenge for the title next season. The Reds have fallen short in the final weeks of the season and look set to finish third under departing boss Jürgen Klopp. There are still two matches remaining of the Klopp era, with Liverpool travelling to Aston Villa on Monday before an emotional final day farewell when Wolves visits Anfield. Arne Slot looks to be the man to take over and he will work with incoming sporting director Richard Hughes to identify transfer targets. At least one defensive addition will likely be targeted but…
