Arne Slot Pays Tribute to Diogo Jota on Anniversary of His Passing

Former Liverpool FC head coach Arne Slot has paid tribute to Diogo Jota on the anniversary of his passing: “Moments like these remind you that football is never the most important thing. As a coach, you spend so much time thinking about training sessions, matches and results, but something like this immediately puts everything into […]

Jürgen Klopp Favoured to Take Germany Job with Nagelsmann Sack Imminent

Julian Nagelsmann isn’t officially out as Germany’s national team manager, at least not quite yet. The writing, though, is very much on the wall and every even half-way reliable outlet in Germany believes it is a question of when not if and that if will be very soon. To that end, Bild have been running […]

Egypt Legend Mohamed Salah Looks to Cement Legacy Against Australia

Egypt won their first ever match at a World Cup by beating New Zealand 3-1 on June 21st. That win ensured they would finish second in their group, qualifying The Pharaohs for the knockout rounds for the first time in history.

Liverpool Sporting Director Richard Hughes Expected to Join Al Hilal

Across two full seasons at Liverpool Football Club, Richard Hughes has taken a side gifted to him by Jürgen Klopp and the past era’s upper management that appeared primed for long-term success and was good enough to win the Premier League title in year one and turned it into a work in progress. The current […]

Rumour Mongering: Bajcetic to Boro Reports Wide Of The Mark

Earlier this week, reports in the press had Liverpool FC midfielder Stefan Bajcetic being linked to a move to EFL Championship clubs Middlesbrough, Blackburn Rovers and Stoke City. At the very least, Middlesbrough will not be Stefan’s destination. Per This is Anfield, there is no interest from Middlesbrough regarding a permanent transfer or a loan […]

Andoni Iraola Liverpool Backroom Staff Set with Four Additions

While much of the attention in Andoni Iraola’s first month at Liverpool has focused on potential signings, with last season’s unbalanced squad and the departures of multiple club legends leaving plenty of work to do on the player recruitment front, there’s also been plenty of work going on behind the scenes to fill out the […]

Curtis Jones Reportedly Not Interested in Joining Nottingham Forest

With just a season left to run in Curtis Jones’ Liverpool deal and the player resisting efforts to tie him down to a new contract over the past two years, we headed into the summer transfer window with most expecting that the 25-year-old Scouse midfielder had played his final game in Red. However, with Jones […]

Official: Liverpool Confirm Signing of Jeremy Jacquet

In January, Liverpool made a big push to sign Rennes rising star centre half Jeremy Jacquet in a transfer that could cost as much as £60M with add ons and also included a loan back to the Ligue 1 side for the remainder of the 2025-26 season. While the club acknowledged the signing at the […]

Rumour Mongering: Arsenal Join Liverpool in Barcola Chase

Per the BBC’s Senior Football Correspondent Sami Mokbel, Arsenal have registered their interest in Paris Saint-Germain’s 23-year-old winger Bradley Barcola. Liverpool FC have been rumoured to be interested in the French attacker, and those links have intensified after Yan Diomande indicated he would prefer to join PSG rather than Liverpool. On Arsenal’s front, Barcola is […]

Liverpool Target Barcola Progresses in World Cup at Isak’s Expense

After the links to Yan Diomande fell through with the player choosing PSG, the Reds might shift their energy back to the other attacker long-rumored as a transfer target: Bradley Barcola. Barcola’s French side easily dispensed with Aleksander Isak’s Sweden, with the Frenchman lodging the most touches in the Swedish box all game (6) and […]

Rumour Mongering: Liverpool Open to Stefan Bajcetic Sale

Youth development in football is rarely linear or entirely predictable, and any number of setbacks can derail or permanently alter the trajectory of a promising young star. Such is the case for Liverpool’s cultured defensive midfielder Stefan Bajcetic, who was seen as the future in midfield back in the 2022-23 season. Then, the 18-year-old was […]

Liverpool Stars Crash Out of World Cup in Round of 32 Upsets

While Alisson Becker and Brazil were able to celebrate early on Monday after a strong second half helped them to get past a determined Japan 2-1 and progress to the Round of 16, that would prove to be the high point of the day for Liverpool’s players at the 2026 World Cup. The day’s first […]

Alisson’s Brazil Progress to the Round of 16

Though Brazil were far from their best against a Japanese side missing a number of key players (including Liverpool’s Wataru Endō), Alisson’s side scraped out a goal in stoppage time to win 2-1 and progress to the next round of the World Cup. Brazil will face either Ivory Coast or Norway, depending on the outcome […]

Rumour Mongering: Crystal Palace Interested in Liverpool’s Harvey Elliott

As badly as the 2025-26 season might have gone for Liverpool, it’s probably fair to say it went worse for Harvey Elliott as the 23-year-old headed to Aston Villa on loan with a mandatory £35M purchase option that backfired and led to Villa manager Unai Emery quickly benching the player to avoid paying it. Having […]

Cody Gakpo to Face Morocco with Netherlands Despite Family Tragedy

Over the weekend sad news of the passing of Cody Gakpo and partner Noa van der Bij’s unborn child emerged after Van der Bij revealed she had suffered a miscarriage on social media. The announcement led to speculation around Gakpo’s continuing presence with the Dutch national team at the World Cup. While the forward understandably […]

Rumour Mongering: Inter Milan Reportedly Not Giving Up On Curtis Jones

Summer transfer season is still happening, even while the World Cup continues to be the larger focus of the footballing world. When last we checked in on the Curtis Jones saga, Inter Milan had put in an “irritating” bid of around €25M, despite Liverpool pretty clearly asking for around £35-40 million for the Scouse midfielder. […]

Rumour Mongering: Liverpool Look to Barcola After Diomande Snub

Liverpool have signed Victor Muñoz but with Mohamed Salah departing, Hugo Ekitike out until 2027, and the club having failed to properly replace Luis Diaz after he was sold last season there is a clear need to more and for the past month at least it has seemed clear that more would by Yan Diomande. […]

Yan Diomande Reportedly Chooses Paris Saint-Germain Over Liverpool

Earlier today, word out of France had Paris Saint-Germain holding off on any approach for Yan Diomande unless and until the player signalled they were his first choice. With Liverpool having made an initial bid for the player and all the chatter suggesting another was in the works after RB Leipzig rejected their opening €100M […]

Paris Saint-Germain Reportedly Have Not Approached Leipzig for Diomande

Liverpool continue to target RB Leipzig and Cote d’Ivoire winger Yan Diomande, with the talented 19-year-old the top wing target as the Reds seek to do the seemingly impossible and replace departed Premier League legend Mohamed Salah ahead of the start of the 2026-27 campaign. However, they aren’t the only club interested, with Paris Saint-Germain […]

World Cup Watch: Red Representation High in Knockouts

This edition of the World Cup has just wrapped up the group stage which means we can begin to turn our attention to the knockouts. Before we do, though, I just want to say: I’m already nostalgic for the group stage. Yes, I’ve more or less managed to not watch any of the matches save […]

Rumor Mongering: Real Madrid Want To Hijack Diomande Deal

Despite having already signed a young, exciting winger in Victor Munoz, Liverpool have been strongly linked with another young, exciting winger in Yan Diomande. Liverpool’s initial approach–reportedly around €100 million including add-ons–was rejected by Leipzig. The working assumption had been that it was a race between Liverpool and PSG, but according to the rumor mongers […]

Mohamed Salah Suffers Minor Hamstring Strain in Egypt’s Draw with Iran

On Friday, Mohamed Salah and Egypt qualified for the knockout rounds of the World Cup. It’s the latest first in a tournament that saw The Pharaohs record their first ever World Cup victory with their earlier 3-1 win over New Zealand, though by comparison Friday night’s eventual 1-1 draw with Iran was a mild disappointment. […]

Nottingham Forest Linked with Liverpool’s Curtis Jones Following Anderson Sale

When the 2025-26 season ended, most believed Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones was set to head to Serie A with Inter Milan maintaining their interest in the 25-year-old Scouser after the Reds blocked an approach from them in January. There was only one problem, though. Namely, Serie A sides are perpetually crying poor. Despite being one […]

Rumor Mongering: Liverpool Have £260M War Chest For Signings

A couple of weeks ago, Liverpool made the first exciting signing of the summer when they captured the signature of Victor Munoz for £34.5 million. But there’s a lot of work left to do to fill out the squad for incoming boss Andoni Iraola. Yesterday it was reported that Liverpool want four high-quality wide attacking […]

Two Coaches Leave Bournemouth, Rumoured To Join Iraola At Liverpool

We’re a little under a month removed from the appointment of Andoni Iraola as the new head coach for Liverpool men heading into the new season, and though the World Cup has unsurprisingly taken much of the news wind from the summer, there hasn’t been any movement regarding which of his staff members from Bournemouth […]
