Ibrahima Konate comes across as a footballer keen to give his all for Liverpool Football Club for the long-term, suggesting to one outlet that there are few, if any, steps up beyond the Merseysiders. The Frenchman has been nothing short of a revelation since his arrival from RB Leipzig, such to the extent that he was rightly considered by many to be the Reds’ man of the match in the Paris Champions League final. “When you play for Liverpool, the question honestly is, ‘Where can I go next?’,” the Frenchman informed Eurosport. “And to last at this club, you have to perform. My goal is ..read more

Former England international Eniola Aluko has backed Liverpool to win the transfer race for Jude Bellingham. The Borussia Dortmund star has been the subject of intense speculation linking him with a move to Anfield for some time, and according to Jacque Talbot for Football Transfers, a number of Reds legends ‘anticipate’ him coming to Merseyside and ‘claim that the deal is a matter of formalities’. Real Madrid and Manchester City are also strong contenders in the transfer race for the 19-year-old, but the six-time champions of Europe might have one crucial advantage in their armoury ..read more

Liverpool are reportedly among several English clubs eyeing a potential swoop for teenage gem Ethan Nwaneri. The Arsenal prospect made Premier League history earlier this season when he appeared off the bench in their 3-0 win at Brentford, becoming the youngest player ever to appear in the division at the age of 15 years and 181 days (via talkSPORT). He took that record from a current member of Jurgen Klopp’s squad, with Harvey Elliott having previously held the accolade when he featured for Fulham towards the end of the 2018/19 season just 30 days after his 16th birthday. However, despit ..read more

Liverpool fans may have been intrigued by an Instagram story post uploaded by one reported Anfield transfer target. Jacque Talbot recently said on the LFC Transfer Room Podcast that the Reds are keen on a summer move for Khephren Thuram, who apparently holds a £30m asking price from Nice. The player himself has publicly acknowledged the transfer speculation surrounding him of late (as per The Telegraph). The 21-year-old is currently on international duty with France, and on Thursday he posted an image on social media featuring him and Ibrahima Konate, with the defender also ..read more

Jude Bellingham, it seems, may not be the only site of battle chosen by Liverpool and Real Madrid with Gabri Veiga now reportedly being followed by Premier League clubs and the Spanish giants. This update comes courtesy of a tweet from Fabrizio Romano, with it having already been claimed by ESPN that the Reds are keeping a close eye on the midfielder. Celta Vigo president: “We want to keep Gabri Veiga but it will be impossible due to release clause. We know some bids he has, impossible to match”. #transfers Release clause for 2003-born talented midfielder: €40m. Premier League top clubs and R ..read more

Despite only joining up with the Netherlands squad yesterday for the EURO 2024 qualifiers against France and Gibraltar, Cody Gakpo has been sent home from the squad after falling ill and the cause of the sickness has now been revealed. Telegraaf journalist Mike Verweij (via the Liverpool Echo) reported: “In and around the Dutch National Team there is strong belief that the chicken curry – served yesterday evening by the staff – is the reason why De Ligt, Botman, Gakpo, Veerman and Verbruggen got ill and had to leave.” Ronald Koeman’s side are preparing to face the French tomorrow and the ..read more

Liverpool Echo journalist Ian Doyle believes Caoimhin Kelleher could move on from Anfield in the summer in order to benefit his career. Last week, Pete O’Rourke reported for Football Insider that the goalkeeper has been put up for sale ahead of the forthcoming transfer window, with Jurgen Klopp no longer deeming the 24-year-old part of his long-term plans with the Reds. The Irishman has played second fiddle to Alisson throughout his time at LFC, typically having to rely on domestic cup appearances or filling in whenever the Brazilian has been unavailable. Doyle was asked in a Liverpool Ec ..read more

Nathan Ake has admitted that Liverpool star Bobby Firmino is the best player that he’s ever played against while also reserving praise for Mo Salah. The Brazilian, who will leave Anfield when his contract expires at the end of the season, has become recognised as one of the best false nines in world football ever since joining the Reds from Hoffenheim back in 2015. The Manchester City man believes that our No. 9’s ability to ‘do everything’ is something that sets him apart from the other top players he’s played against during his career. “Firmino was always a tough one because he could do ever ..read more

The Jude Bellingham transfer saga is reportedly set to wage on amid the ongoing tug-of-war between the likes of Manchester City, Real Madrid and Liverpool. Despite claims to the contrary from reliable sources, however, it seems that club legends of the Anfield-based outfit now expect the Reds to win the battle and secure the Englishman’s signature, with a deal simply ‘a matter of formalities’. “There is an anticipation that Bellingham will make a decision next month over where he wants to go,” the journalist wrote for Football Transfers. “Liverpool club legends anticipate this move t ..read more

Ibou Konate has laughed off suggestions that his international teammate Dayot Upamecano is as good as Virgil Van Dijk. The latter has become recognised as one of the best central defenders in the world since his £75m move to the Reds back in 2018 but has received his fair share of critics this term with Jurgen Klopp’s side struggling for consistency. Upamecano, meanwhile, joined Bayern Munich from RB Leipzig (where he played alongside our No. 5) in 2021 and although the Frenchman is a quality player in his own right, Konate was keen to stress that he cannot yet be compared to the Dutchman. “Wh ..read more
