Liverpool superstar right winger Mohamed Salah still remains without a new contract and could leave the Reds for free this year, with clubs from the Saudi Pro League circling the waters. Salah has been the best player in the world during the 2024/25 season, firing important goal after important goal and shining as brightly as ever as a playmaker for a Liverpool side that is first in both the Premier League and Champions League. Despite the fact that Salah is at the top of his game and expected to remain at Anfield for the foreseeable future, Liverpool are doing their due diligence when it comes to identifying potential long-term replacements for the Egyptian icon. One of those players is Bournemouth breakout star Antoine Semenyo, who is capable of playing anywhere in the front thr...

Liverpool spent 75 million euros, plus an additional 25 million in add-ons, to sign Darwin Nunez from Benfica, and the Uruguayan striker has done very little to make good on that invsetment. Although the athletic Nunez excels at creating havoc and creating chances for himself, not unlike Uruguay legend Edinson Cavani, he is even more inadequate at finishing off those chances. Nunez's career highlights at Liverpool, to this point, are littered with frustrating mistakes, and it has come to a point where he is even struggling to meaningfully impose himself on games as a striker against lower-level opponents. After spending so much money to sign Nunez, Liverpool were reticent to show an interest in selling the 25-year-old, especially since there were some positive traits there. But...

Liverpool were rumored to be involved in the sweepstakes for Napoli star Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who is adamant that he wants to leave an organization that, despite challenging for the Serie A title this season, has been mostly known for disappointing its best players. Now, it looks like the deep pockets of PSG will drive the negotiations for Kvara, leaving Liverpool on the outside looking in. It's not like Liverpool were desperate for Kvaratskhelia, however, as they have two left wingers who have been even better this season in Luis Diaz and breakout superstar Cody Gakpo. Napoli are reportedly eyeing Federico Chiesa as a possible replacement for Kvaratskhelia on the left wing, as Chiesa has a great Serie A pedigree as a former standout for both Fiorentina and Juventus before the Bian...

Liverpool have two of the best left wingers in world football, Luis Diaz and Cody Gakpo, but, recently, they've been mentioned as a team that could get involved in the Khvicha Kvaratskhelia sweepstakes. Just two years ago, Kvaradona earned that most hallowed of nicknames after leading Napoli to their first Scudetto since the heyday of Diego Armando Maradona, christening the stadium of the Argentinian's namesake with beautiful dribbles and stunning curled efforts, proving to be more than just the heir to Lorenzo Insigne. But after the wistful thinking that Kvaratskhelia and Victor Osimhen could become Napoli legends for years to come, the two look set to leave one of Serie A's most poorly-run clubs this winter. Liverpool are reportedly keeping the track open for Kvarastkhelia, and ...

Without a shadow of a doubt, Liverpool have been the best team in European football this season, as they are the current leaders of the Champions League and the Premier League with the Ballon d'Or favorite in Mohamed Salah. Cody Gakpo and Luis Diaz have been flying high on the flank opposite of Salah, giving Liverpool the best wingers in the Premier League to offset their continued striker issues with Darwin Nunez remaining a liability in front of goal. And in addition to those three world-class forwards, Liverpool signed Federico Chiesa from Juventus this past summer. Chiesa arrived at Anfield with low pressure and high hopes, but the Italian international continues to look like a shell of himself and probably doesn't fit the Premier League. A Serie A return has been rumored for ...

Liverpool could potentially lose two of the best players in the world to free agency in 2025, as right winger Mohamed Salah and right back Trent Alexander-Arnold are both on expiring contracts without new deals in place. While the Reds have been slow to negotiate both deals, the overall sentiment is that the Premier League and Champions League leaders will be able to retain both players. Not only are they both world-class players, but Salah is the best right winger on the planet and Alexander-Arnold the best healthy right back. Losing Salah, the best player in the world, to Saudi Arabia would be devastating, but if Alexander-Arnold were to join Champions League rivals Real Madrid, that may be even more devastating, especially since TAA is a homegrown talent. But even as Liverpool ...

Athletic Club left winger Nico Williams was already one of the biggest breakout stars in Spanish football during the 2022/23 season, and after following up a strong campaign with one that was just as good in 2023/24, Williams was clearly ready for the big time and already on the radar of the big clubs in his own country. But after lighting the European Championships alight across from teenage sensation Lamine Yamal, Williams, a champion with Spain, became the most in-demand left winger on the transfer market with suitors like Barcelona and Arsenal ready to pounce. Williams ultimately chose to stay loyal to the Basque and brother Iñaki, and while his performances have cooled just slightly this season, the 22-year-old remains one of the best wingers in LaLiga - and still on the radar o...
