Liverpool’s Muñoz Becomes World Cup Finalist as Spain Advance

Andoni Iraola Wants Curtis Jones Stay: “It’s Very Important He’s Scouse”

Following the return of Michael Edwards and the arrival of his hand-picked sporting director Richard Hughes and head coach Anre Slot in 2024, Liverpool saw a massive exodus of local and club trained talent. Over the past two summers, much of the sense of a local connection to the squad has been lost. Some, like […]

Rumour Mongering: Saudi Clubs Interested in Liverpool’s Alisson Becker

Liverpool Reportedly Reject Inter €32M Curtis Jones Bid

Back around the time the World Cup was kicking off, Liverpool were telling Inter Milan to bugger off and stop sending in low-ball bids for Curtis Jones, with a formal second bid of around €25M (£21M) said to have been seen as insulting and unserious and the Reds pivoting to plan for a season with […]

Goalie Khiara Keating Joins LFC Women on Free Transfer

Twenty-two-year-old Khiara Keating has today joined Liverpool after the expiry of her Manchester City contract.

Andoni Iraola on “The Big Challenge” He Faces at Liverpool

While new head coach Andoni Iraloa ticks a lot of boxes for Liverpool and a fanbase left deflated not just by last season’s poor results but also the increasingly negative tactical approach and lack of energy in performances, the Basque trainer does arrive at Anfield with a few question marks. The biggest might be a […]

Iraola: “I Think Football Is About Connecting with the Supporters”

The World Cup is winding down and pre-season will starting up for many of Europe’s clubs over the next week, and for Liverpool it is no different with a small senior squad of around 15 first team players engaged in their first preparations for the 2026-27 season today. More than the returning players, though, the […]

Jurgen Klopp Reportedly Agrees To Become Germany National Manager

News that surprises actually no one, former Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp has reportedly agreed to terms to take over coaching the Germany national team following Julian Nagelsmann’s departure earlier this month.

Rumour Mongering: Liverpool and Manchester United Move for João Gomes

Wolverhampton midfielder João Gomes was expected to join Atletico Madrid this summer, but the 25-year-old Brazilian’s move to La Liga fell through when fellow Jorge Mendes client Bernardo Silva joined Real Madrid after Atleti believed he had committed to joining them. The resultant bad blood between Atleti and Mendes caused the Gomez deal to also […]

Dominik Szoboszlai Sheds Light on Team Processing Jota Grief

Liverpool’s previous season can easily be characterized as a massive let down. Coming off of the high of their second Premier League title in 5 years – after a 30 year drought – it’s tough to really call a victory lap of a season a let down. But, firstly, Liverpool went through the summer transfer […]

Alexis Mac Allister Scores Opener In Argentina 3-1 Win

Although FIFA countinues to be a massively corrupt organization—one that happily bends both the knee and the rules for autocrats—and their flagship competition—the World Cup—should be boycotted, we can still be happy for Liverpool players when they do the business in the tournament and help their team advance. So, we can be happy that Alexis […]

The World Cup quarter-finals kicked off this week and before they did, we looked back at how Liverpool Offside readers voted on who they thought would win it all and which player would win the Golden Ball as player of the tournament in our pre-World Cup survey and then asked who they thought would win […]

Sporting Kansas City Emerges As Potential Salah Destination

Mohamed Salah’s World Cup run has unfortunately ended, despite a strong and historic showing by the Egyptian national team. Questions, naturally, have now turned to where Salah might end up. It has been assumed for several years that Saudi Arabia could be a destination for the player, but that always seemed based more on the […]

Could Liverpool’s Sparse World Cup be a Good Thing?

At the start of the Round of 16, Liverpool had only two players in action: Alexis Mac Allister with Argentina and new signing Víctor Muñoz with Spain — though the 22-year-old has been a feature on the bench. This dearth of Liverpool players is unusual, with no Liverpool names on the England roster perhaps the most […]

Michael Edwards Steps Down as Liverpool CEO

Michael Edwards today departs Liverpool FC after serving his notice period, leaving with a year left on his current contract.

Mike Gordon is reportedly likely take over the […]

Klopp Drops Decade-Old Mbappe Transfer Lore

Whilst working the France-Morocco World Cup quarter-final as a pundit for Magenta TV, former Liverpool FC manager Jürgen Klopp casually dropped some old transfer lore about LFC’s pursuit of Kylian Mbappe when he was at Monaco: Klopp: The most expensive non-transfer we [Liverpool] invested in. We flew from Blackpool to Nice. In Nice, the entire […]

Liverpool Schedule First Press Conference for Andoni Iraola

With the World Cup entering into its final rounds this week and pre-season on the horizon, another season of club football is drawing near and for Liverpool there remains a quite worrying amount of work to do, with last season’s already rather thin and unbalanced squad having lost a pair of legends in Mohamed Salah […]

Rumour Mongering: Rio Ngumoha Could Be Liverpool’s Salah Replacement

When Liverpool signed Victor Muñoz from Osasuna, he was always meant to be one of at least two wing singings, with the Reds still expected to make a significant signing to replace the departing Mohamed Salah.

Despite reporting of a 5-year contract, it is important to note that Jikiemi will initially be on scholarship terms at the club, […]

Victor Muñoz: “The Premier League Is the Right Place for Me”

When Brazil and Egypt were knocked out of the World Cup, Liverpool lost their most recognizable remaining representatives in current star Alisson Becker and recently departed Mohamed Salah. However, the Reds do still have one player at the tournament in Spain’s Victor Muñoz. Liverpool fans haven’t yet seen him play for the club given he […]

Rumour Mongering: Parker Stays at City, Plus Liverpool-Mora Links

Following a brief pursuit from Liverpool, Manchester City’s 16-year-old attacking midfielder Xavier Parker has reportedly committed his future to his current club and will not be joining the Reds.

Liverpool legend Mohamed Salah has already played his final game as a Red and he may have today added his final World Cup game for Egypt to that, as the 34-year-old wing legend and his country were beaten 3-2 by Lionel Messi and Argentina in the most painful way possible. Egypt had gone up by […]
