Zero surprise regarding Konate - so do they recruit a new senior CB despite the 2 kids returning? Assuming Iraola is confirmed, we’re gonna need an athletic DM. I’d like to keep one of Jones or Macca, and sell Endo and Harvey, replaced by a DM and Nyoni. Obviously need a couple pacey and direct wingers to also hopefully help Isak thrive assuming we recruit to his strengths. I personally don’t believe we need a new RB. I think Frimpong suffered through a lack of defined role. I think Iraola will bring out the best in our wingbacks. So not a total makeover but work to do
My guess is that Trent got a 50% off voucher if used in the next 12 months from the Scouse School of Lerning Spanish and passed it on to his mate.
In his case, can we blame Ibrahima? Or he knew all along and planned it to get more money, signing bonuses etc? Madrid have had many golden free signings so you can tell players eye that deal.
Everyone can decide for themselves but 2 days after he announced hes leaving Liverpool he sgrees a verbal deal with Real. McGrath claims that the 27-year-old “decided to walk away” from Liverpool “rather than sign a new deal,” while Ben Jacobs reports on X that Real were “well-positioned having already discussed terms last year.” Talks were seemingly ongoing behind the scenes despite Real publicly ending their interest – which was certainly legal as of January 1, but conflicts with Konate’s assertion in April that he “always wanted” to re-sign.
Now that Ibou has done the exact thing that Trent did, what is the club’s move with Szoboszlai? They need to act now (2 years left on the deal) to avoid him doing the same thing. The Hungary manager has been quoted saying that it has been Dom’s dream to play for Madrid. Dom was also baffled by the fans’ reaction to Trent. So if Dom is reluctant to negotiate a contract extension, we know what he is planning. What will Liverpool do about it?
Yeah - but a squad needs thsoe guys for the easier CL and league cup games, etc. And a scover for guys being out a week or two here and there? No? Joe's a proven useful asset there is all I'm saying
Thiago is at Barca - unlikely to prise him away..... (Much as I like Liverpool, i know where I'd rather live
Nyoni should be thrown in at the deep end this year - one of the 5 or 6 actually playing/rotating mids .... He looks the part, more than any of those "nearly there" kids of the past few years - with the possible exception of Stephan Baj and we won't know till we try. I count him a s a new signing, frankly.
Liverpool and Paris St-Germain might both want RB Leipzig winger Yan Diomande but the German club are calm about the situation as they believe the 19-year-old will not only stay with them for another year but also sign a new improved contract. (Sky Sports Germany) Portugal midfielder Mateus Fernandes, 21, has been cleared to leave West Ham after contact from Manchester United and Arsenal, while Liverpool and Paris St-Germain are also monitoring developments.

I get that - up to a point. I mean, is he a good coach? Serious question. I dunno if he's been coaching long enough for anyone to know.
Trent is gonna have a rough time winning the BdO from the bench and Copa del Rey games. bring him home.
According to reports, departing Liverpool star Ibrahima Konate was ‘open’ to joining Manchester .United before Real Madrid stepped up
