Everton now look to be in a very strong position to make a defensive reinforcement after sending a tempting offer. The Toffees were left disappointed on Tuesday after learning that Jaden Philogene had rejected an offer to move to Goodison Park in favour of joining Ipswich Town. Now – however – Everton look set to enjoy a better outcome in another transfer pursuit… Everton convince Galatasaray to part ways with Davinson Sanchez A story from Sporx in Turkey now claims that Galatasaray have found a replacement for Davinson Sanchez – after Everton made a tempting bid for the Colombia international.…
To say that Thiago Alcantara had quite the career would be an understatement. The midfield maestro won 11 league titles across his time with Barcelona and Bayern Munich. He won the treble during his time in Germany, claimed a Champions League during his time with Barca and racked up 46 appearances for Spain. While with Liverpool, he was pivotal to the club’s quadruple chase in 2021/22, but his time on Merseyside was littered with injuries and his impact across the four years he was with the Reds was limited. Sepp van den Berg TRANSFER TWIST AS £20M DEFENDER NOW EXPECTED…
Liverpool had already said its goodbyes to Thiago Alcantara at the end of his contract, but did not know he would be retiring from the game altogether. As the tributes have poured in, they have mostly focused on his achievements away from Anfield — but he might be leaving at least one legacy for Arne Slot to inherit. There’s no denying that Thiago did his best work before arriving at Liverpool. Injuries, always a blight on his career, severely caught up with him on Merseyside, and he spent most of his final two seasons sidelined. But his quality was still…
Darwin Nunez’s first two seasons at Liverpool were eventful, if nothing else. He’s rarely ever out of the headlines. The Uruguayan became an Anfield favourite, with his passion and all-action style standing out, and he seemed to connect with the fans from the off. For all the love that comes Nunez’s way, however, there are also detractors everywhere you look, whether that be among the Liverpool fanbase, rival supporters or in the media. The 25-year-old’s unpredictable finishing has been the main reason for the criticism that comes his way, with a plethora of bad misses making for YouTube compilations galore.…
Trent Alexander-Arnold has been one of the most hotly-debated players of the UEFA Euro 2024 tournament. England manager Gareth Southgate’s use, or lack therefore, of the 25-year-old Liverpool star has been controversial to say the least. Preferring to use Kyle Walker at right back, Southgate started the tournament with Alexander-Arnold in a slightly unfamiliar role as one of two holding midfielders in a 4-2-3-1 formation. Like virtually all of his England teammates, Alexander-Arnold struggled to show the form he normally does at club level as England’s slow and disjointed displays drew plenty of criticism from fans and pundits. As pressure…
The Athletic reports that Liverpool received around £2m for Kamil Grabara this week. No, you haven’t stumbled upon an article from 2021 – this was the result of a sell-on clause. The Reds actually sold Grabara to Copenhagen back in 2021, receiving around £3m for the player. He’s now gone to Wolfsburg in a deal that was initially set earlier this year. That deal was for £11.4m and Liverpool benefitted from including a 20% sell-on clause in their sale to Copenhagen. Thus they’ve received around £2m this week for doing absolutely nothing. What a deal that is. LIVERPOOL RECEIVE GRABARA…
Liverpool attacking midfielder Fabio Carvalho has broken his silence regarding his decision to represent Portugal internationally despite playing for England at youth level. The 21-year-old joined the Reds in 2022 from Fulham at the end of his contract, but due to his age and homegrown status, Liverpool were forced to pay a compensation fee. Carvalho arrived at Anfield with plenty of excitement surrounding his ability and potential thanks to his performance in the Championship. Although he’s yet to show his best at Anfield, with Carvalho heading out on a fruitless loan deal to RB Leipzig before a return to the…
A Liverpool player who asked to leave the club on Arne Slot’s first day in charge has smashed one of the pre-season fitness test. Liverpool returned to the AXA Training Centre last week, with plenty of players still not reporting back due to Euro 2024 and Copa America commitments. But there were still a number of notable returnees who were put through their paces under new boss Slot. The group included Sepp van den Berg, who spent last season on loan at Mainz and played 35 times. The 22-year-old has gone on record to say that he expected to leave…
Michael Owen has given his verdict on who he’d choose between Steven Gerrard and Jude Bellingham Former Liverpool striker Michael Owen said picking between Steven Gerrard and Jude Bellingham for England was “not a tough choice” despite the world class quality of both players. Bellingham shined for Real Madrid during his debut season for the Spanish giants and was quickly billed to lead England to Euro 2024 glory this summer. Although the youngster is yet to reach his highest levels at the tournament, his two goals have proved vital to the Three Lions’ progression to the semi-finals. That includes the…
Former Liverpool goalkeeper David James has suggested that the Reds should run the numbers on Mohamed Salah this summer and potentially consider cashing in on the 32-year-old— but not because of his age or contract situation. Instead, James believes that Salah may not necessarily work under Arne Slot. Rather than worrying about him potentially being past his best, the ex-England goalkeeper wants a full analysis to take place on a tactical level. “The logical thing would be to analyze the data around Salah,” he told Genting Casino. “Slot is unlikely to come in and match exactly what Liverpool have done…
