Transfer Rumour Mongering: Mbaye Back On

The main chatter in the Liverpool sphere is surrounding PSG player Bradley Barcola and the club’s interest in bringing him to Anfield. However, buried in all of that is the rumour that teenage Senegalese national player Ibrahim Mbaye is also on their radar.

Alexis Mac Allister’s Father Passes Judgement on Transfer Rumours

Earlier this week, a handful of competing rumours linking Alexis Mac Allister with a potential move away from Liverpool this summer came to our attention.

Jérémy Jacquet Returns to Full Team Training Ahead of Como Friendly

The recent signing of Ronald Araújo from Barcelona means Liverpool won’t have to rush him back into action after he missed the second half of last season with a shoulder injury, but news of Jérémy Jacquet returning to full team training today is nevertheless a major positive as the Reds prepare for the 2026-27 season. […]

Rumour Mongering: Galatasaray and Man City Interested in Mac Allister
