Liverpool Reportedly Agree Personal Terms with Ibrahim Mbaye
As Liverpool struggled and stumbled through the 2025-26 season, the general consensus was that the biggest weak point in a thin and lopsided squad was on the wings and that multiple new signings would be necessary in the offseason in order to get the Reds properly back on track. The departure of legend Mohamed Salah […]
Andoni Iraola Reflects On Second Half Pre-Season Struggles
A theme for Liverpool through their first pre-season under new head coach Andoni Iraola has been strong first halves followed up by weaker seconds. Some of that has been down to substitutions, some has been down to the fitness demands of Iraola’s high-intensity approach, but reasons aside it has been noticable. On Sunday in their […]
Kerkez Looks Ahead to Liverpool Opener: “We Are Ready and Can’t Wait”
Liverpool put in their strongest performance of pre-season on Sunday in the Anfield headliner against Champions League side Como, and next up for the Reds under new head coach Andoni Iraola is the Premier League season opener against Newcastle next Sunday. “We are ready and everyone can’t wait until the season starts next week,” left […]

Liverpool 0, Como 0 – Behind Closed Doors Match Recap
Andoni Iraola and his training staff were all present on the touchline which was wonderful to see knowing that the main event at Anfield was soon approaching.

Liverpool’s Gain? New Premier League Rules For The 2026-27 Season
I thought it would be nice to take a pause from the ongoing Bradley Barcola saga and step away from the bad taste of the new investor reality and take a quick look into any rule changes facing the Premier League. All of the rule changes being adapted were rolled out for the 2026 World […]
Everything’s the Best: Looking In Couch Cushions for Clean Money
Liverpool under Fenway Sports Group have been, perhaps, the best possible ownership group in terms of a club’s stewardship in the modern game. Yes, there’ve been unvarnished money grabs that have alternately been prevented (e.g. the scuttled Super League) and begrudgingly accepted (e.g. ticket price hikes). FSG haven’t been perfect, but in a world of […]
Transfer Rumour Mongering: Mbaye Back On
The main chatter in the Liverpool sphere is surrounding PSG player Bradley Barcola and the club’s interest in bringing him to Anfield. However, buried in all of that is the rumour that teenage Senegalese national player Ibrahim Mbaye is also on their radar. Some say Mbaye isn’t Liverpool’s “number one” pick for winger, while other French […]
Liverpool Reportedly Lower Price For Curtis Jones
One of the many ongoing transfer sagas this summer (seriously Liverpool, do something) is the potential departure of Curtis Jones to Inter Milan. The Reds set their stall out early, claiming that they wanted around £40 million for the Scouse midfielder. Now there are reports out of Italy that Liverpool’s stance has softened, and they […]
Official: Liverpool Announce Minority Sale to Bezos-Backed Consortium
Liverpool Football Club have today announced the sale of a minority stake of the club to a consortium including the third-richest person in the world, Jeff Bezos, who basically everyone who doesn’t live on LinkedIn thinks is an amoral civilization-devouring ghoul that the world would be better off without. Former Queens Park Rangers co-owner and […]
Cody Gakpo Reportedly Reaches Agreement with Tottenham Hotspur
According to Voetbal International, Liverpool attacker Cody Gakpo has reached a personal agreement with Tottenham Hotspur after the side registered interest in his services. The BBC report that Liverpool are asking for offers in excess of £60 million for Gakpo, money that many assume would be useful in pursuit of PSG’s Bradley Barcola — though […]
Sofie Lundgaard to Eintracht Frankfurt
Liverpool FC Women today bid farewell to Sofie Lundgaard, with the 24-year-old Danish midfielder leaving on a permanent transfer to join Frauen-Bundesliga club Eintracht Frankfurt in Germany. Lundgaard had a challenging time on Merseyside, with serious ligament injuries limiting her to just 11 appearances in the last two seasons, a low number considering she made […]
Arsenal Explore £43M Signing of ex-Liverpool Centre Half Jarell Quansah
One of the biggest mistakes of Richard Hughes’ tenure as sporting director at Liverpool Football Club, of which there have been many, from his mishandling of the succession plan for Alisson Becker to failures to replace Luis Diaz to allowing players to run down contracts, was the handling if Jarell Quansah. The young England international […]
Rumour Mongering: French Reports Hint at Barcola Deal Accelerating
Over the course of the night, a number of reports about Liverpool FC’s pursuit of Paris Saint-Germain’s 23-year-old winger Bradley Barcola have surfaced. Per L’Equipe, Liverpool are reportedly going to go in strong for Barcola before the window closes. Investigative reporter Romain Molina also spoke on the situation with the player and how his agent, […]
Alexis Mac Allister’s Father Passes Judgement on Transfer Rumours
Earlier this week, a handful of competing rumours linking Alexis Mac Allister with a potential move away from Liverpool this summer came to our attention. One had the 27-year-old Argentine being targeted by Galatasaray and the other had Manchester City eying him as a Rodri replacement. Both rumours raised our eyebrows, to put it mildly. […]
Rumour Mongering: Liverpool Interested in Barcelona’s Héctor Fort
The signing of Ronald Arújo as a versatile veteran defender capable of playing at both his natural centre half position but also capable of filling in at right back for most seemed likely to rule out further defensive signings in what’s left of the summer transfer window. Reports out of Spain today via Sport, though, […]
Liverpool Change Kickoff Time for Final Set of Pre-Season Friendlies
Liverpool will wrap their 2026 pre-season under new head coach Andoni Iraola on Sunday, with most of the focus on the second friendly against Como set to be played at Anfield at 6PM and expected to contain most of the first team players in the mix for the following weekend’s Premier League opener against Newcastle. […]
Rumour Mongering: Al-Khelaifi Leaves Door Open for Barcola Departure
Paris Saint-Germain’s Bradley Barcola was an unused substitute as the reigning European Champions beat the Europa League holders Aston Villa 2-1 to win the UEFA Super Cup in back-to-back years. There has been much speculation over Barcola’s future, with Liverpool FC named as the leading suitor for his services. There remains a steep difference in […]
Jérémy Jacquet Returns to Full Team Training Ahead of Como Friendly
The recent signing of Ronald Araújo from Barcelona means Liverpool won’t have to rush him back into action after he missed the second half of last season with a shoulder injury, but news of Jérémy Jacquet returning to full team training today is nevertheless a major positive as the Reds prepare for the 2026-27 season. […]
Rumour Mongering: Galatasaray and Man City Interested in Mac Allister
While the signing of Ronald Araújo on loan takes a lot of the pressure off Liverpool’s need to make defensive signings in what’s left of the summer transfer window, a high calibre winger to replace the departed Mohamed Salah remains a priority and midfielder Curtis Jones looks to have one foot out the door to […]
Rumour Mongering: Inter Inch Closer to Curtis Jones Move
Inter Milan appear to be making some progress towards a move for Curtis Jones. According to Fabrizio Romano, Lazio have approached Inter for midfielder Davide Frattesi, which could clear room for Liverpool FC’s Jones to make his way over to Milan. Italian journalist Gianluigi Longari of TV Dello Sport says just as much, confirming that […]
Alexander Isak Looking Forward to the Premier League Season
Alexander Isak’s performance was one of the highlights of the ultimately disappointing Anfield friendly at the weekend, and the Swedish striker spoke to Liverpoolfc.com about his anticipation for the season. It’s unavoidable to note that though the World Cup was a minor interruption for Isak’s pre-season this summer, Sweden’s underperformance likely assured a much more […]
Lewis Koumas on Liverpool Pre-Season: “This Is the Best I’ve Felt”
With Liverpool’s pre-season winding down and the 2026-27 season drawing near, chances for Liverpool’s youth and fringe players to impress new head coach Andoni Iraola have nearly past and for many there have been three players on that front who have stood out more than any others. In midfield, Trey Nyoni has made a case […]
Rumour Mongering: Liverpool’s Ndukwe Not Expected to Return to Austria
Eighteen-year-old Austrian centre half Ifeanyi Ndukwe has been the surprise standout of pre-season for the Reds ahead of the 2026-27 season, but work permit issues mean he will not be able to play in England and will need a loan home that gets him first team minutes in a top league to earn one moving […]
