Liverpool could be forced to rethink their summer transfer plans after missing out on Xabi Alonso, who will not be replacing Jurgen Klopp at Anfield next season. The Spaniard was initially linked with the Liverpool job but has since decided to stay at Bayer Leverkusen for at least one more year. Liverpool were informed about Alonso’s decision earlier this week, with the Reds still searching for a new manager to succeed Klopp in the dugout. The news that Alonso will not be joining them could disrupt their plans for the summer transfer window, with a handful of Leverkusen stars having…

Liverpool have a pretty strong record when it comes to getting it right in the transfer market, but even they don’t get it right all the time. The Reds have pulled off a host of shrewd deals in recent years, particularly during the reign of Michael Edwards, who is back at Anfield to lead the post-Jurgen Klopp era. Back in 2020, though, it seemed as though Anfield’s top brass had passed up a no-brainer in the summer transfer window. With Liverpool seemingly in the market for a quality goalkeeper to provide back-up, Stoke City shot-stopper Jack Butland emerged as a…

Liverpool will kick off before the Gunners face title rivals Manchester City on Sunday, meaning there’s the possibility of the Reds ending the weekend top of the table if…

Suggestions that Liverpool have been taken aback somewhat by Xabi Alonso’s desire to stay put at Bayer Leverkusen for at least another season appear to be a little wide of the mark. Yes, everyone knows that the former Anfield hero was the Premier League giants’ first choice. But he was hardly the only choice. HITC Football understands that Michael Edwards and Liverpool’s incoming sporting director Richard Hughes have already been working behind-the-scenes identifying a number of alternative targets, reluctant as they were to put all their eggs in the Xabi Alonso basket. Julian Nagelsmann, his short-term contract in charge of…
Liverpool must consider a blockbuster move for Tottenham Hotspur boss Ange Postecoglou after being rejected by Xabi Alonso, according to a former Reds star. Liverpool will enter a new era this summer, as iconic manager Jurgen Klopp will end his spell at Anfield and take a break from football. Senior Liverpool officials including Michael Edwards and Richard Hughes have looked at whether they can replace Klopp with Alonso, though that pursuit came to a halt earlier on Friday. The Spaniard broke his silence on the links with Liverpool and Bayern Munich by saying: “I had a good meeting with Bayer…
Liverpool could begin life after Jurgen Klopp by signing a star the manager himself has branded his “favourite player”. The Reds go into the summer faced with the possibility of a big-money offer for Mohamed Salah from the Saudi Pro League, the type of which they would struggle to turn down given the Egypt international only has a year left to run on his contract. As such, they are tracking possibilities to replace him and have turned their attentions to West Ham winger Jarrod Bowen, according to TeamTalk. Bowen, 27, has enjoyed a career year at West Ham under David…

Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes could miss his side’s Premier League clash against Liverpool at Old Trafford next weekend. The playmaker has been United’s talisman throughout a dogged campaign, tallying the most goal contributions for the side this season with eight goals and nine assists. None of these have come against Liverpool, though. He played the full 120 minutes against Liverpool in the 4-3 FA Cup clash prior to the international break, ending the game hobbling at centre-back. He has been given an extra period of rest after being sent home from Portugal duty after scoring against Sweden last Friday.…
