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 […]
Yan Diomande Shrugs Off Liverpool Transfer Speculation
Yan Diomande and Cote d’Ivoire are through to the knockout rounds of the 2026 World Cup, locking down a place in the Round of 32 that means they will play their next game against the runners-up of Group I on June 30th in Arlington. With the player widely believed to be Liverpool’s top attacking target, […]
Muñoz: Iraola Played an Important Role in My Decision
Liverpool FC’s new signing Victor Muñoz hasn’t been able to do the customary interview since putting pen to paper, but had the opportunity to talk about the process in an interview with Spanish radio station Cadena SER. On the opportunity to play for England’s most successful club, Muñoz said, “it’s an opportunity you can’t pass […]
Muñoz on Liverpool Move: “The Sort of Opportunity You Can’t Pass Up”
With new Liverpool signing Victor Muñoz on duty with the Spanish national team at the World Cup but sidelined with a calf strain expected to keep him out until the knockout rounds, the 22-year-old winger hasn’t exactly been front and centre since completing his £34.5M move. That deal made the Barcelona-born winger the first signing […]
Should Liverpool Cash in on Cody Gakpo’s Strong World Cup?
Liverpool’s Dutch forward Cody Gakpo has been one of the stars of the 2026 World Cup group stage, with two goals and an assist in the Netherlands’ first two games and Man of the Match honours for their 5-1 demolition of Sweden. He has been the focal point in attack for one of the pre-tournament […]
Rumour Mongering: Diomande Camp Putting Pressure on Leipzig
It’s all gone a bit quiet on the Yan Diomande front over the last few days as RB Leipzig brace for a new Liverpool FC bid and the player prepares to play Cote d’Ivoire’s final group stage game and secure a place in the knockout rounds at the 2026 World Cup. A new report from […]
The Liverpool Offside’s World Cup Week Two Survey: The Results
For the second week of the World Cup, we turned our attention to Liverpool’s stars at the tournament. With every one of the club’s representative having played two games, won three Man of the Match awards, and Reds making more goal contributions than players from any other club it seemed like we had plenty to […]
Carragher Offers Yan Diomande Caution: “You’re Buying Potential”
Liverpool have made Yan Diomande their top wing target, and the RB Leipzig and Cote d’Ivoire 19-year-old certainly looks as though he has the talent to make a difference at the highest levels. Having come to football relatively late, though, with no time at a top academy and only one full season of senior football, […]
Robertson and Scotland Prepared for Showdown with Alisson and Brazil
Scotland head into their final group stage game at the World Cup knowing that a draw would be enough to assure them of advancing to the knockout rounds as, at worst, one of the top eight third-place group finishers. They face the toughest of challenges, though, with Brazil their opponents. Brazil themselves are assured of […]
How High Can a Great World Cup Raise Yan Diomande’s Transfer Value?
Liverpool have made no secret of the fact Yan Diomande, RB Leipzig’s Ivorian rising star on the wing, is their top summer transfer target as the Reds look to do what seems frankly impossible and replace Mohamed Salah. The 19-year-old Diomande might still be a little raw, with the player coming to organized football relatively […]
Rumour Mongering: Liverpool and Diomande Reportedly Agree Personal Terms
According to French outlet Media Foot, Liverpool FC and Yan Diomande have agreed on personal terms, and all that remains is an agreement with RB Leipzig on a transfer fee. Paris Saint-Germain had been linked with the player as well, and even though there are still rumours they may submit their own bid and spark […]
Rumor Mongering: Bradley Barcola Open to Liverpool Move
This lukewarm rumor is brought to us by the Evening Standard, who report that the 23-year-old French forward has been quoted as being “thrilled” by a potential move to Liverpool — despite murky reports of a bid from Arsenal. The PSG forward is reportedly “excited” by the project underway at Liverpool, whose new boss does […]
