What Fabrizio Romano is hearing about Napoli’s Kvaratskhelia amid PL interest Khvicha Kvaratskhelia has to be one of the most sought-after names in world football ahead of the summer window. Regardless, the red carpet won’t be rolled out for clubs like Liverpool to swoop in for the exciting Georgian winger. Fabrizio Romano reports that Napoli’s hierarchy have ‘no intention to negotiate for the player’, despite reports (GOAL) of interest from the Premier League and PSG. “Despite some transfer rumours recently about Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, the player Napoli plan to sell this summer is not him, but Victor Osimhen. Napoli expect Osimhen…
Liverpool will see Julian Ward and Pedro Marques join Fenway Sports Group’s new structure this summer, with the incoming pair already familiar with each other. It was widely reported on Friday that Ward would return to Liverpool as part of FSG’s revamped setup in the role of technical director. He will begin work on June 1 along with Marques, who arrives from Benfica in the position of director of football development. Ward has already worked at Liverpool in a variety of roles including, most recently, sporting director – but prior to that, he held roles at Man City and in…
Throughout his time in charge at Liverpool, Jurgen Klopp has never been one to harbour regrets. But, not for the first time during his Anfield career, Harvey Elliott is proving the exception. Reflecting on Elliott’s man-of-the-match performance against Tottenham Hotspur last weekend, Klopp admitted the youngster had merited more minutes during the second half of the season. Indeed, that it was only a ninth Premier League start for Elliott underlines how, despite starting all bar two of Liverpool’s 20 cup games this season, he has regularly been overlooked in the top flight. It’s not for the lack of impact, given…
Kylian Mbappe was never going to consider a switch to England when a move to Real Madrid was also on the table. That’s the word from football’s premier transfer insider Fabrizio Romano ahead of the Frenchman’s impending switch to Madrid this summer. “We’ve long had stories about Mbappe and the likes of Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal…still, the reality is that Mbappe never wanted to entertain any discussions with English clubs, first of all because his focus was on Real Madrid, and also because he didn’t want to create any more problems with Florentino Perez, the president at the Bernabeu,…
There’s a player who is doing better than Erling Haaland and Michael Edwards holds the key to bringing him to Liverpool. Liverpool will be looking to reinforce the team with an attacking player this season. That makes sense, considering Arne Slot’s attacking style of play relies on having a lot of options. But also because Liverpool’s attack hasn’t been super productive throughout the season. In fact, if there has been one thing which has let Liverpool down this season, it’s been their lack of efficiency in front of goal. Liverpool have been wasteful in front of goal and that has…
With Liverpool poised for a big summer overhaul following the impending departure of manager Jurgen Klopp, it’s safe to say that the Reds can be expected to flex some muscle in the upcoming transfer window. One player to have emerged on the club’s radar is striker Mohamed Amoura, currently plying his trade for Belgian side Union Saint-Gilloise. Since his arrival from FC Lugano last summer, the diminutive forward has notched up an impressive tally of 23 goals and seven assists in 45 appearances in all competitions, making him a hot commodity in the transfer market. AMOURA SCORED AGAINST LIVERPOOL Of…
Another day, another Liverpool player linked with a move to Barcelona. This time, however, it would seem that the Reds have the upper hand. Amid the backdrop of star striker Darwin Nunez reportedly being ‘offered’ to the Catalan giants, their long-standing interest in Liverpool winger Luis Diaz is no secret either. However, while a move for the Uruguayan seems more likely with each passing day, according to reports coming out of Spain, Barcelona’s pursuit of Diaz would seem a lot more complicated. As reported in Sport, the Blaugrana consider the Colombian “100% unaffordable” this summer, despite his attributes making him…
Ex-Bolton Wanderers goalkeeper Adam Bogdan has shared his experience of his unexpected transfer to Liverpool. In the summer of 2015, the Hungarian goalie was snapped up by Brendan Rodgers, despite being second choice for then-Championship Bolton. With Simon Mignolet establishing himself as the Reds’ No.1, Bogdan only made six appearances in all competitions, which all came during his first season with the club. He was loaned out to Wigan Athletic and Scottish Premiership team Hibernian, before being let go by Liverpool at the start of the 2019/20 season. Despite limited opportunities to shine at the club, Bogdan remains proud of…
Jurgen Klopp isn’t perfect, he got something wrong at Liverpool this season and Arne Slot has to change. With Arne Slot coming to Liverpool, the goal will be very much to keep things the same. Slot plays with a similar pressing football to Klopp, where he demands his players to win the ball back as soon as they lose it. There are, of course, differences as well. Slot prefers his teams to build up with more short passes from the back and not be as direct as Klopp. But the one thing the Dutchman has to change at Liverpool is…
It was midway through the second half when Michael Owen finally struck. Liverpool fans had seen this type of goal countless times before. Steven Gerrard with a searching ball, Owen breaking clear of the defence and finishing with minimum fuss. Owen’s goal helped Liverpool to a 1-1 draw with Newcastle. His 16th in just 29 Premier League games for the Reds that season, a haul that would ensure Gerard Houllier’s side would qualify for the Champions League. It was Owen’s 158th goal for Liverpool. It would also be his last. Liverpool signed me from out of nowhere – it was…
