The Mohamed Salah to Saudi Arabia transfer rumors are about to heat up

Liverpool superstar Mohamed Salah is one of the greatest players in the history of the Premier League and certainly the greatest player in the English top flight today, following Harry Kane's exit to Bayern Munich this past summer. Thanks to Salah's 17 goals and 9 assists this season, Liverpool are in the Premier League title race after failing to make the top four in the 2022/23 season, but their contention for the top prize in England is coming to a screeching halt. After yet another dreadful loss - and to rivals Everton, no less - at mid-week, Liverpool dropped more valuable points on Saturday with a 2-2 draw against West Ham. But the big story after the game was the argument between Mohamed Salah and Jurgen Klopp. Tempers are boiling with Liverpool seeing their grip on the tit...

The top midfielder Arne Slot could bring to Liverpool

As Fabrizio Romano and others confirmed, Liverpool have reached an agreement with both Feyenoord and Arne Slot to make him their next manager, replacing Jurgen Klopp at the end of the 2023/24 Premier League season. There are a lot of young stars on Feyenoord whom Slot could bring with him to Liverpool, but there are also star players from the Netherlands not affiliated with Feyenoord whom Slot could recruit to the Reds. According to a report from Nicolo Schira, Arne Slot has been a huge fan of Atalanta center midfielder Teun Koopmeiners since watching him play for AZ Alkmaar in the Dutch Eredivisie. Liverpool remain interested in Koopmeiners, as they first started showing a desire to sign the Dutch midfielder during the 2022/23 season. Although the Reds made midfield upgrades b...

5 Feyenoord stars Arne Slot could bring with him as Liverpool’s new manager

After a week of intense speculation, Liverpool have decided to hire Arne Slot from Feyenoord to replace legendary manager Jurgen Klopp at the end of the 2023/24 Premier League season. Fabrizio Romano reports Liverpool and Feyenoord have agreed on appropriate compensation for the managerial switch, and the Reds have also agreed to a contract with Slot. Liverpool still have plenty to play for in the title race, even after suffering another huge blow in the battle for first by losing 2-0 to derby rivals Everton. The recent defeats, including a Europa League humiliation to Atalanta, have only served to underscore how much more quality the squad needs in order to truly compete at the elite level in Europe again. Feyenoord have been sensational under Slot over the past couple of seas...

The Liverpool star who stands to lose the most from Jurgen Klopp’s departure

Liverpool have been slipping in the Premier League title race and were recently humbled by Atalanta in the Europa League, getting sent packing from the competition in the quarterfinals. To add further insult, Liverpool lost to derby rivals Everton on Wednesday, falling 2-0 to one of the five worst teams in the Premier League. Now, the Reds are third in the title race, three points back of league leaders Arsenal and two behind usual title rivals (and champions) Manchester City. Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez drew the ire of fans for a woefully disappointing display in Everton's clean sheet victory over the Reds. The former Benfica star did create a couple of chances, but he offered no attacking threat and enraged Kopites by missing a clear-cut chance. Nunez has been criticized sinc...

Why did Liverpool sign Cody Gakpo?

In the January 2023 transfer window, Liverpool were looking to add some attacking juice. They had already made a big splash in the previous summer market by signing Darwin Nunez from Benfica as their new starting striker - a more goal-scoring heir to the departing Roberto Firmino. However, that wasn't enough for Jurgen Klopp's men, who were staring at the prospect of failing to make the Champions League (which, in fact, happened). How much did Liverpool pay for Cody Gakpo? Liverpool turned to one of the most talented players in the Dutch top flight, Gody Gakpo, signing the versatile forward from PSV for a total of 42 million euros. Some sources dispute the price or give a range, but the general quoted total is between 40 and 45 million euros. How good was Cody Gakpo for PSV? Gakpo w...

5 players Liverpool need to sign after Europa League humiliation vs. Atalanta

No team disappointed more in the Europa League quarterfinals than Liverpool, who were embarrassed almost beyond belief by Gianluca Scamacca and Atalanta in the first leg, falling 3-0 at Anfield, no less, to a team that is barely holding on to a Conference League spot in Serie A. Atalanta are no newcomers to the big stage in European football, as they have been a Champions League knockout side in the past. But only two years ago, Liverpool were finalists and are currently one of three teams vying for the Premier League title. Liverpool could only muster a 1-0 win in the second leg in Bergamo, exiting the Europa League of Jurgen Klopp's final season at the helm without so much as a whimper on the way out. The defeat to Atalanta is a reminder that Liverpool, despite a strong summer o...

3 best possible Xabi Alonso alternatives for Liverpool

It looks like Liverpool can wave their dream of hiring Bayer Leverkusen's undefeated Xabi Alonso as the ideal Jürgen Klopp replacement this summer, because the Spanish coach is reportedly staying in the Bundesliga for another season. That decision sends the Reds back to the drawing board, as they must scour their list of alternative targets and choose the best one to work with a returning Michael Edwards to build the next generation of title contenders in Liverpool. Here are the three best possible alternate options for the Reds to consider with Alonso seemingly off the table. Roberto De Zerbi Brighton manager Roberto De Zerbi was already one of the best tactical minds in European football before he took a Premier League gig, proving his worth at the Champions League level for Shak...

Real Madrid reignite interest in an old dream transfer target

Real Madrid have been on a bit of a streak recently, showing interest and working in silence for so many good deals in the market, slowly addressing every single need on their already incredible roster. We obviously have Kylian Mbappe's imminent transfer to Real Madrid, which addresses the goalscorer's need. They've been working on Alphonso Davies, which is also an important position that needs reinforcement. They have established concrete interest in Leny Yoro, one of the best young centre-backs in the game. Now, they are set to reignite interest in a player they used to be very interested in. First reported by Matteo Moretto of Relevo, then by Fabrizio Romano, Real Madrid have an interest in signing Trent Alexander-Arnold. No talks have been held yet, but they're said to be j...
