Liverpool and Chelsea are likely to be in the mix for the transfer of Lyon winger Malick Fofana, as first reported here in my exclusive for the Daily Briefing. Fofana has established himself as one of the top young talents in Europe at the moment, and his representatives are seeking a big move for him next summer. Lyon are surely not going to be able to keep hold of Fofana for much longer, and his agent has been vocal about getting him to a club like Liverpool.
Konate is expected to move on as a free agent in the summer of 2026. Real Madrid were keen on securing his signature, but it appears that they have changed their preference. Real Madrid to move on from Konate? According to Fichajes, they would prefer to sign the Crystal Palace Star Marc Guehi instead. The 25-year-old will be a free agent in the summer, and he is an attractive option for the Spanish outfit.
Liverpool defender Ibrahima Konate made a cheeky comment to Arsenal's William Saliba while they were signing autographs together on France international duty. Konate won the Premier League title with Liverpool last season while Saliba and Arsenal had to make do with second place again a position they've finished in for three years in a row. Liverpool and Arsenal are likely to be the main two title challengers again in 2025/26, and it seems like Konate might have been trying some mind games with Saliba.
I am not going to lie over the past couple of years I have had some tough moments, Henderson says. But according to him, it was not so much what he lived, rather what he left behind that was the struggle. It felt like a break-up, Henderson says of the end of his 12year association with Liverpool, a period when he captained them to every top honour and embedded himself in the fabric of the club and city.
There were sections of Bayern fans that questioned the Colombian's 70-million euro price tag when he was bought from Liverpool over the summer, but it's quite difficult to argue against the blistering start he's had to life with the reigning Bundesliga champions - and this is without the presence of Jamal Musiala in attack, who will not be making his return from injury until sometime next month.
Liverpool's nightmare start under Gareth Taylor in the Women's Super League continued after they lost 1-0 at newly promoted London City Lionesses. Ex- Manchester City boss Taylor had tasted defeat in his opening three league fixtures as the Reds' head coach, but looked on course for a point until Liverpool-born Nikita Parris won a spot-kick after being brought down by goalkeeper Rafaela Borggräfe.
Arne Slot tried to inject a note of calm into Liverpool's fallout after a dramatic 2-1 defeat at Stamford Bridge, but the result, a stoppage-time winner from Chelsea's 18-year-old Estevao Willian, only deepened the sense of urgency around a side now on a run of worrying late losses. While Slot repeatedly pointed to fine margins as the decisive factor, the pattern of late concessions and blunt attacking displays means the manager's reassurances may struggle to silence growing concern among supporters
The 18-year-old striker joined Manchester City from PSG, and he is highly rated in the game. The African is expected to develop into a future star, and Liverpool will be disappointed to have missed out on him. Clubs like Real Madrid and Barcelona were keeping tabs on his situation as well. However, Manchester City managed to win the race for him.
Teams played in a completely different way in the first half of the season against us than they did when we were top of the league after half of the season and top of the Champions League after the first part of the season. I can see this now going into this part of this season and we have to find answers to that. Last season one of them was a set-piece, like many teams unlock a low block with set-pieces, and this season we haven't done that yet.
