Fabrizio Romano has exciting Alexander-Arnold transfer update for Real Madrid

Liverpool star right back Trent Alexander-Arnold appears to be on the verge of a big move to Real Madrid in the summer 2025 transfer window, as he continues to rebuff efforts to re-sign him from Anfield, Now, Alexander-Arnold is close to putting pen to paper on a deal that would make him this summer's dream signing for Real Madrid, who have made a marquee move in each of the past two summer windows. First, it was Jude Bellingham for 100 million euros in summer 2023, and then last summer, Florentino Perez finally landed his white whale, signing Kylian Mbappe for free from PSG. Trent Alexander-Arnold won't get absurd money Alexander-Arnold would be nearly as big of a get for Real Madrid, as Fabrizio Romano previously reported that the 26-year-old England international was options one...

5 transfers Champions League clubs need to make in summer 2025

Winning the Champions League is one thing, but staying on top and being a legitimate title contender year in and year out is another thing entirely and requires making the right signings at the right times. Here are five signings that the traditional heavyweights - and new contenders - in the Champions League need to make in the summer 2025 transfer window in order to improve their chances of making the leap or building a true dynasty. Trent Alexander-Arnold to Real Madrid Listen, Real Madrid needed to sign another right back five years ago, and while Dani Carvajal proved a lot of Madrid fans wrong by showing he has plenty left in the tank last season, he will be coming off an ACL tear in 2025/26 at the age of 33 at a physically demanding position. Real Madrid need a new right back...

Transfermarkt snubbed Liverpool stars from most valuable Premier League XI

Transfermarkt has been releasing a lot of lists and best of formations due to its updated transfer valuations, and Liverpool fans will have a bone to pick with the latest most valuable XI for the Premier League. Not a single Liverpool player makes the squad despite the fact that the Reds are first in the Premier League by XI points. Arsenal and Manchester City led the way with four players in the team, each. David Raya got the nod in goal; William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes combined with Josko Gvardiol to form the back line; Rodri and Declan Rice are the double-pivot in midfield; Cole Palmer is the playmaker; Phil Foden and Bukayo Saka are the winger duo; and Erling Haaland and Alexander Isak obviously make the grade as the two strikers. Ryan Gravenberch deserves more praise Gran...

3 players Liverpool must sign in order to win the Champions League

Although Liverpool reached the final in 2022, they haven't won the Champions League since 2019 when they completed a historic comeback win over Barcelona and then dispatched Premier League rivals Tottenham in the final with Jurgen Klopp as manager. In Arne Slot's first season at the helm, Liverpool were actually favored to win the Champions League after placing first in the league phase, but their weaknesses were exposed by PSG. They were eliminated on penalties, but, in truth, were outplayed over two legs by Luis Enrique's men. Liverpool should still be able to skate to the Premier League title this season, but more work needs to be done in the summer 2025 transfer window if the Reds want to recapture Champions League glory. Here are five superstar players Liverpool must target t...

Latest injury update on Trent Alexander-Arnold return

Liverpool star right back Trent Alexander-Arnold has been out since the Reds' second leg Champions League Round of 16 defeat to PSG with a high-ankle sprain, which has caused him to miss one game so far. According to a report from James Pearce of The Athletic, Alexander-Arnold is targeting an April return from his injury, meaning his return to Liverpool should be right around the corner.

Liverpool star Ryan Gravenberch now has injury concern

Liverpool are reeling right now, having lost the Carabao Cup Final this past weekend to Newcastle 2-1 after being eliminated from the Champions League Round of 16 in heartbreaking fashion to PSG on penalties. Now, Liverpool may have another worry on their hands, as one of their best players of the season, center midfielder Ryan Gravenberch, has just suffered an injury blow. Providing further evidence of the insidiously useless nature of the international "breaks", top footballing insider Fabrizio Romano reports that Gravenberch was forced to leave the Netherlands this week with an injury of unspecified nature. He will return to Liverpool for further evaluation by his club. Liverpool hold a 12-point lead at the top of the Premier League table over Arsenal, so while their title hope...

Liverpool vs. Newcastle Player Ratings in the 2025 Carabao Cup Final

Here are the player ratings as Newcastle exorcised their demons with a massive 2-1 win over Premier League leaders Liverpool to capture the 2025 Carabao Cup. Liverpool Player Ratings GK Caoimhin Kelleher, 7.5 Made two amazing reflex saves to keep Liverpool in the game, though he could have stopped the opener if he read that Dan Burn could have only gotten enough power by heading the ball to the far post. He should have started his position closer to the far post, but these are the little things he will pick up with experience. LB Andrew Robertson, 6.0 CB Ibrahima Konate, 7.0 Had some nice blocks and actually played pretty well defensively, but he was the one ultimately sacrificed before the hour mark with Newcastle up 2-0 since Arne Slot needed goals.

3 Liverpool players who must step up with Trent Alexander-Arnold out of Carabao Cup Final

Liverpool will face Newcastle on Sunday afternoon with the chance to capture their first trophy of what has been an incredible 2024/25 season thus far, which will help erase some of the sourness after a shocking penalty shootout defeat to mild upstarts PSG in the Champions League Round of 16. Their latest Champions League failure can't blight their spirits heading into Sunday's Carabao Cup Final, as Liverpool, even against a formidable opponent, are clear favorites as the side with a 15-point lead in the Premier League. However, Liverpool will be without one of the best players in the world on Sunday, as star right back Trent Alexander-Arnold has been ruled out of the game with an ankle injury he picked up at mid-week in the defeat to PSG, as if being knocked out of the Champions Lea...

Liverpool’s unsung 2024/25 Premier League Player of the Season candidate

There is no question that Liverpool right winger Mohamed Salah is the favorite to win the Premier League Player of the Season for the 2024/25 campaign, and, at this point, it's a foregone conclusion that both the Reds will win the Premiership and Salah will be crowned as the league's best players. His statistics are a wonder to behold. Salah has scored 27 goals with 17 assists this season already, producing numbers at the age of 32 that are unlike anything we have seen in Premier League history and wouldn't look out of place next to prime Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi numbers. But beyond Salah, Liverpool have another player who, in literally any other season, would have a compelling case to win the Premier League Player of the Season honors. That is none other than center bac...
