Liverpool Rumours Mobile

11 Apr 2026 09:12:38
Just to back what Carra has always said

An interesting line from Slots press conference

"The owners know what period of time we are in and for now I feel full support"

Sounds like a man told he will leave at the end of season.

11 Apr 2026 09:41:13
I'm not so sure. It's clear this time was always going to come, no Klopp, and the world class spine of the team is too old. Maybe the league last year was a bit lucky. This is definitely a transition period where money hasn't been spent well. To be fair, at the time, I was made up with the signings.

Don't get me wrong, Slot is well out of his depth and needs the boot. But it's not all his fault, there are many contributing factors.

11 Apr 2026 09:50:22
I wouldn't say we were lucky last season, after 31 games, we would still be top this season (73 points). We were very incredibly consistent with our best players at the top of their game.

11 Apr 2026 09:51:47
It's mostly his fault because you ain't telling me Klopp would have got a better tune out of these current players.

10 Apr 2026 18:58:42
Nico Schlotterbeck has signed a new deal with Dortmund with a release clause supposedly included that becomes active in the summer.
Not sure if we are interested but from what I've seen we could do a lot worse.

10 Apr 2026 21:36:50
According to Transfermarkt he's signed until 2031 and now will earn EUR269kpw. A select few clubs will have access to the EUR50-EUR60m release clause, but no one knows who. Personally, I'd be buying him and moving off Konate.

11 Apr 2026 01:20:04
I'd buy anyone to replace Konate.

11 Apr 2026 06:15:04
I was initially in favour, but since then realised he's far older than I thought and would be incredibly expensive. Not for me.

11 Apr 2026 07:42:53
I think he was the perfect and only realistic left-footed CB high quality signing available on the market this summer, but now that he's signed a new contract, the market is bare. I'd take Senesi on a free, 2-3-year deal and wait for the next big thing to come along and be ready for him.

11 Apr 2026 07:43:44
He turned 26 4 months ago? We'd basically be buying someone in their prime. How is that an issue?

11 Apr 2026 08:20:13
We bought Van Dijk at a similar age if not older I'm sure.

11 Apr 2026 08:21:40
What I've seen of him, his defending is not great, so a massive hard pass for me, don't want him just because he is left footed.

11 Apr 2026 08:38:23
Konate is error-prone.
Van Dijk is degrading.
Gomez is injury-prone.
Leoni is 19.
Jacquet is 20.

Very strong argument for a couple of mid-career CBs, not against Schlotterbeck at all, and, rightly or wrongly, suspect Van de Ven moves this summer too.



But it's all for naught if we don't have a manager that understands defensive structure, and we don't, after many years of asking, have a Fabinho-style player at CDM.

10 Apr 2026 18:37:42
Seen a few reports linking us with Joao Gomez of Wolves, can any of the Ed's confirm we are interested.

{Ed001's Note - yes, there is a longstanding interest in him and Andre alongside him.}

10 Apr 2026 19:43:04
Thanks for the response.

{Ed001's Note - welcome mate.}

10 Apr 2026 20:39:34
He is a decent shin kicker and we need one of those.

10 Apr 2026 21:00:42
Watching the West Ham and Wolves match. Fernandes has looked quite impressive in the first half.

10 Apr 2026 22:59:23
We passed on Andre before he left South America. Unless it makes economic sense for the few. Football performance wise, it's already been passed over by the previous regime.

10 Apr 2026 16:35:35
Ed1,
I see earlier you mentioned that we were looking at Minteh.
Have you got any other names that you've heard we've looked at/ scouted?

thanks.

{Ed001's Note - I can't think of anyone new that hasn't been mentioned.}

10 Apr 2026 19:01:52
Cheers Ed.
Massive massive summer ahead!

10 Apr 2026 19:50:08
Could we have a quick roundup of players we are interested in, in each position please?

10 Apr 2026 20:53:01
From the recent chatter, a lot of young players are on the radar:

Risser (GK), Palestra (RB), Vuskovic (CB), Lukeba (LB/LCB), Bouaddi (DM), Smit (CM), Yirenki (DM), Diomande (RW), Traore (LW).

10 Apr 2026 20:56:35
Correction: Toure, not Traore!

10 Apr 2026 23:02:23
Lacroix and Sadiki.

10 Apr 2026 14:54:32
FSG selling Liverpool on the sly? 🤔
Everything you see and hear is merely a smokescreen around this event.

10 Apr 2026 15:28:46
Probably doing it on the sly because every time they try and sell us the fans end up giving them grief. We were always an investment for them. They've changed the club for the better. If they want out, the fans should let them out instead of wanting new stadium, debt paid off, unlimited financing from their good will.

10 Apr 2026 15:56:31
Why would FSG sell us on the sly? FSG have been the life blood of the club, without their intervention this club would be in the same state as Sheff Wed. All supporters of LFC should be behind any decision FSG make about the club, they deserve that, yes, they have made mistakes but they quickly admitted they were wrong and cancelled without any fuss.


Without FSG, we would not have won all we have and never have had Jurgen come to the club. If it is true, I just hope they sell to any new owners that can and will follow in FSG's footsteps and carry on where FSG would leave off. YNWA

10 Apr 2026 16:00:18
I always felt like Jurgen Klopp leaving was the beginning of the end for FSG at Liverpool.

Predicted around 4/5 years, and I'll stick by that. I think they try and build this last team over the next few years, and we'll start hearing the news of them cashing in as both Henry and Werner are approaching 80.

10 Apr 2026 16:40:48
I raised this question a few weeks ago on here, and most people thought it wouldn't be happening anytime soon.

I still feel like there's so much happening so quickly at the club that it really feels like it could happen in the next year or two.

10 Apr 2026 16:44:58
It's inevitable they will have an exit strategy.

Good luck to them and thanks for the memories.

Can't imagine how we would have fared with Hicks and Gillett instead. 🫣

10 Apr 2026 16:50:59
What smokescreen are you talking about exactly?

Liverpool has increased in value by a factor of nearly 15x since FSG came on board, and whilst that in itself is enough reason to sell, it's also their biggest earner. Investment groups sell off their most productive assets when realizing the profit from a sale is seen as a more valuable move than retaining ownership, or when the sale of an asset is deemed necessary for funding new projects; FSG had been interested in acquiring an NBA team, but recent reports suggest they've backed out due to astronomical costs.



If they were even considering the possibility of a sale last summer, they wouldn't have allowed the expenditure we saw in the transfer window or be looking at a multi-club model. I would be fairly surprised if they wanted to dump their biggest earner just months after winning the league, bringing in some huge signings and planning a major expansion with a second club, but things do change, hard and fast, in football.

10 Apr 2026 16:53:55
They are good guardians of the club. We could have had a lot worse and not many better. If any.

10 Apr 2026 18:22:13
I like FSG, yes they have made mistakes, but who hasn't, managed us sensibly, and they saved us from Hicks and Gillette (who definitely weren't the best a Liverpool supporter can get). :)

10 Apr 2026 23:25:37
Henry can't be pushing 80. His wife doesn't look a day over 50.

11 Apr 2026 01:51:18
FSG would only sell us for a vast amount. We are still their biggest asset. I know they want a basketball team n they're going for the same price as us. So I think, if one is available, they would sell Liverpool, that's only my opinion BTW.

10 Apr 2026 13:50:08
Ed1.

Help me out fella please

Paper talk of us adding minteh from Brighton to pur list of winger targets.

This is tripe hopefully yes? No way are we thinking of paying the 60 or 70m Brighton would want for him.

Can I put this out of my mind? .

{Ed001's Note - sorry but he is being looked at. Not my cup of tea either.}

10 Apr 2026 14:39:01
No way, lads, I'd stay well clear.

10 Apr 2026 14:42:52
Can see why Klopp wanted such a big say in all our transfers.

10 Apr 2026 15:43:36
I hope to God that is not our level of thinking going forward!

10 Apr 2026 15:49:00
Come on lads, who wouldn't want an extra sharp Minteh on the wing....I've heard he plays tic-tac style footy...light on his feet too cause he's got a hole in his middle.

10 Apr 2026 15:49:02
Maybe this is the difference of Champions League or Not Champions League (Minteh being the later).

10 Apr 2026 15:57:34
I really like him. 21 years old, very aggressive, very hard working, direct, rapid, 8 goals and 8 assists in about 3600 minutes of football since the start of last season etc.

If you think back to what Salah was doing at 21 years old at Chelsea, Minteh is operating at a pretty similar level in a much weaker Brighton side (that's not me saying he'll be as good as Salah, by the way, as Mo was a slow burner). I personally think Minteh would be a great signing for us. He can also play LW and RW with pretty much equal quality, though I personally prefer him on the left because I think he's a better crosser of the ball than he is at cutting inside and shooting.

He's the kind of player you need if you want to play with proper strikers like Isak and Ekitike. We don't necessarily need wingers who will score goals, now we have out and out strikers. We need wingers who can gain territory, run at full backs and ultimately put the ball in the box nice and early.

10 Apr 2026 17:00:14
Good work rate, decent player, but not good enough for us. Doesn't come close to showing even an inclination of a ceiling that puts him anywhere near being an adequate replacement for Mo.

10 Apr 2026 17:41:26
He would be a breath of fresh air, Robby.

10 Apr 2026 18:36:50
Agree with MK. Think he has loads of potential. Wouldn't go anywhere near the 60m+ Brighton apparently want though. 45-50m, just about fair maybe.

10 Apr 2026 18:37:32
He is a very good one on one player, which is a seriously important quality to have in a wide attacking player now. However, his end product is distinctly lacking, so I'm wary. Was a star for Slot, though, if he's going to be here next season (I'm just trolling).

10 Apr 2026 18:44:16
Makes Diaz seem like a steal ... and a painful loss!

10 Apr 2026 03:31:32
Hi all,

Journalists were briefed after the PSG game to show support for Slot and board. Lots of fluctuation behind the scenes at the moment but the bottom line is to pay no mind to anything any journo says. Slot will not be here next season.

{Ed025's Note - nice one Victor..

10 Apr 2026 07:47:50
Just been reading a long post from BayernSpace which he posted last night. (They're rarely short posts.)

It seems they're saying the same thing. Much more going on behind the scenes than journalists make you believe. Also suggested that both Frimpong and Wirtz are in regular contact with Alonso.

10 Apr 2026 07:53:53
Slot's lost the fans, his position is untenable. Surely there is no possibility that he's here next season.

10 Apr 2026 07:56:54
Normal operating procedure for me when it comes to journos.

10 Apr 2026 08:12:09
Yep. The D Telegraph and The Athletic are at it again but the reporters themselves don't believe he'll be there next season.

10 Apr 2026 08:25:56
I'm still not sure what the point of this is? It's just going to ruin any credibility that they have.

10 Apr 2026 08:58:15
I would call these persons journalists, but shills. Shame on them!

10 Apr 2026 09:12:40
I hope you are right, Victor - although the people running this club seem so disconnected with the fans and the city that it wouldn't surprise me if Slot stayed.

It's not all on Slot, but getting a coach in who understands the need for pace, power and intensity would help things. Also, someone who gets, or tries to get, the club, the fans and the city, and stops telling us the evidence of our own eyes is wrong.

I hope it doesn't stop there though.

I hope that the changes go upwards as well. From ticket prices, to stadium entry, to apathetic displays on the pitch, there seems to be a disconnect between the club and the people that make it special - the supporters.

That bond is sacred and is what separates us from other clubs. It's unique and when we are all pulling together it is unstoppable.

I hope whoever comes in as coach and above can address that. The playing side will follow.

10 Apr 2026 09:15:14
There are great football journalists like Daniel Taylor, Matt Lawton, Sam Wallace etc, and then true shills like Jamie Jackson, so as in all things, a mixed bag. You won't find many better writers anywhere than the late Hugh McIlvanney.

10 Apr 2026 09:24:02
Where is Bayern Space posting now his Twitter account is suspended?

10 Apr 2026 09:25:06
There's probably a bit of a franchise mentality in
those running the club. In many ways, for them, we could be based anywhere.

The positives, though, as the games changed, are that we've been able to watch players like Suarez and Torres, and be managed by Jurgen. It's a double-edged thing, but somehow they need to restore some local connections.

10 Apr 2026 08:39:19
Can we ask Fornax to translate Bayern Space's post into ancient greek so that we can understand it even less. Eds?

10 Apr 2026 10:06:24
Thank God for that.

10 Apr 2026 10:09:48
SlotSlitShatShot, Sam Wallace is one of the reporters saying Slot will still be here next season.

10 Apr 2026 10:11:28
There can be no way that Slot is still here next year, iv read all that nonsense online over the last few weeks n though, wow these journalists must be paid by the club to write this stuff.

10 Apr 2026 10:12:23
We're in a dystopian era. Arne's at it as well in the media. They seem to think they can PR the problems away. They just need to work and play harder, fight more, score goals and win games and that's how they might start to win back confidence and support.

10 Apr 2026 10:19:24
It will come to a head at the end of the season. No good getting stressed out, guys, it is what it is and only the suits upstairs will make the decision whether he stays or he goes.
Good luck to everyone betting on the national.
YNWA

10 Apr 2026 10:36:59
Bayern space is Itkspace.

10 Apr 2026 10:49:42
Thanks, VG...
Appreciate the feedback

I wonder if the same people, who advised the journos, have also advised the players to show support for Slot as well.

10 Apr 2026 12:45:17
Whatever new manager comes in, hopefully it's done pretty quick.

Going to be difficult to adapt to another system.
Replace Mo and Robbo.
Majority players missing for WC.

10 Apr 2026 12:56:54
FWIW, Bayern Space has, without a doubt, knowledge on the situation. He was calling that Wirtz was going to us when all reports linked him to City and said that's why he was in England. He has links to German related media that would have links to Xabi and his team during their time in Germany.

I would believe every word he says. There is a reason Bayern got his account taken down.

Ken.

10 Apr 2026 13:05:59
Liverpool's PR efforts are quite sad tbh. People don't believe a word of what the journalists say, yet they put out puff piece after puff piece despite the fact. Why?

10 Apr 2026 13:19:12
I'll go out, say this, Slot will not be here next season and book mark this, he's lost the fans and he knows it.

10 Apr 2026 13:46:42
They are just saving face, we have been told by Carra, Slot is gone in the summer, there is no point in the club saying anything other than they support him now, as they won't sack him early.

09 Apr 2026 22:20:28
Hearing really concerning rumours that Konate is close to signing a new deal! WTAF are Hughes and Edwards doing? He is a total and utter useless liability! Our club is in more trouble on and off the pitch than I ever imagined if this is true! …. lose Guehi and keep this Sunday pub player - Massive joke! 😡😤🤷🏼.

09 Apr 2026 22:35:34
He's not that bad, look at what the guy has won. Klopp had a lot of faith in him.
We need some continuity with Leoni and Jacquet waiting in the wings.

That tackle last night that was initially given as a penalty was a brilliant challenge.

He makes mistakes, but so do a lot of defenders in the Premier League.

09 Apr 2026 22:45:48
I think Konate has been exposed by our non-existent midfield and our right back issues. He, like a lot of other players in the team, could do with a match or two break, but we have no one else to bring in. There is no competition for places, so players can play badly and continue to get picked.

Slot built the squad this way. It's not Konate's fault. I personally think people should lay off him. His father passed away recently and this has obviously been a very sad time for him. Also, if he decided not to sign a new deal you would be giving him hell too, so he can't win, can he?

09 Apr 2026 22:57:29
If I had to pick one player that's most responsible for our poor season, I'd pick Ibou, can be brilliant, but too many brain farts. (He's not the only one of course).

In his defence though, there's been zero real cover in front of him. Grav and Macca aren't it. Praying for a ball-winning no 6 this summer.

09 Apr 2026 23:09:26
I'm praying for a new CB, RB, back up LB, 2x new midfielders and 2 new wingers. I wonder what stage FSG will make the "we are going to have a quiet transfer window" statement.

10 Apr 2026 00:12:56
We have a ball winning no. 6 Wataru Endo. Slot won't pick him.

10 Apr 2026 00:18:23
RedTed, Endo is currently out long term injured, but even if he wasn't, he's not the answer and it's a thing that has been ignored since Fabinho left.

10 Apr 2026 01:16:27
Konate is a title winner. He's had a poor season like many others, but when his head is in the right place he's a very good defender.

It hasn't helped him that Virgil keeps dropping 5 yards deeper than him instead of holding the line. It means he can't push up and play offside, so has to turn and chase back.

I honestly believe that Virgil's reluctance to allow anyone to run in behind him is the root cause of most of our issues. He drops too deep, too early, which stretches the pitch and creates a gap between the defence and the midfield, which the opposition are exploiting, and it's giving the rest of the back 4 no chance to defend properly.

Think about it, when was the last time you saw us push up as a back line and play the attackers offside? We used to defend that way as a rule, but now we are dropping deep as Virgil is terrified of anyone running in behind him.

That being said, if they are giving Konate the £300k+ a week he was asking for after this season that would be madness. Half that would be more realistic, perhaps with performance-related add-ons.

10 Apr 2026 05:01:28
Endo? Just say you don't watch Liverpool games, dude.

10 Apr 2026 05:23:08
Wasn't suggesting Endo is *the* answer. People are asking for a no. 6. I'm pointing out we have one. Sure he's not a 'Fabinho' + never suggested otherwise. Never said he was a deep lying playmaker either.

But if you want someone to sit and break up opposition play. He is the best of what we have available. Had forgotten he was injured though - my bad. Would I love another Fabinho - of course I would.

10 Apr 2026 05:37:56
I don't mind Konate staying and being phased out by one of these youngsters. The key thing is, is this new contract going to put him on silly money like Gakpo and Gravenberch?

10 Apr 2026 06:48:17
Ron, normally I agree with a lot of your posts but trying to put any positive spin on retaining Konate is delusional. There's not one other single top tier team that would have him in the squad let alone the starting eleven. Terrible player and even worse decision.

10 Apr 2026 08:17:33
Agree, Shanks. It's like saying Traore was a good player because he won the European Cup.
Konate is a poor player. End of conversation.

10 Apr 2026 08:31:47
I've been critical of him this season, but he captains France, and I am pretty sure you put him in Arsenal or Cities first 11. He would be a beast.

{Ed001's Note - not a chance, utter delusion. He is awful and would get nowhere near Arsenal's reserves, let alone first 11.}

10 Apr 2026 08:53:44
Say No to Drugs Hallion.

10 Apr 2026 10:14:09
Konate is awful. What are you watching. He's a mistake every game.

10 Apr 2026 10:26:47
I am not a fan of Konate, but in his defence, the way this clown has the team set up, Konate is struggling with covering right back and his own position. One thing he needs to stop is giving away free kicks in dangerous areas by man handling players. YNWA.

10 Apr 2026 12:09:44
He's a quality player, they're queuing up for him. Maybe manage him, and the players around him. I dunno seems a little conventional. Madrid, PSG ain't knocking for a laugh.

10 Apr 2026 13:42:43
Istanbul... He is free like the Spanish Judas was, both could have signed contracts at the club.

10 Apr 2026 14:57:08
He captained France once when all the first 4 captains were missing! Terrible defender. All he can do is man handle players and make stupid tackles. I swear some people don't watch the games. Some of his mistakes this season have reminded me of someone wearing clown shoes, tripping and falling over everything. Literally.

10 Apr 2026 18:31:26
Konate has now become a liability and has been getting worse season after season. He should not even be offered a new contract after trying his luck running his contract down. Always tugging at players and bear hugging them. You can add the main man Virg to that now also, not the tugging and hugging but he’s well off it too, always blaming others for his own mistakes, and players skipping past him these days but he still has the aura and obviously still thinks he’s the bees knees. Well, you aren’t Virg, with Robbo and Mo going also this needs some serious building again. Add Grav, Macca, Jones and Gakpo to this list also. Serious issues in the first 11, then you have to look at the squad depth, which is really poor.

Obviously not helped by injuries and a truly shocking manager that isn’t even half committed imho. Never was the messiah. Was only gonna be this season he was judged for me and with the great players that were brought in also, he’s flatlined the whole ethic of Liverpool FC which Klopp helped rebuild. Shankly, Paisley, Kenny and Klopp would never stand for this s***. The fundamentals of training and fitness are nonexistent. Blame the players sure as well. But if my boss wasn’t arsed and I was mega wages either way then why would I be arsed. Premier League is going to the dogs full stop.

09 Apr 2026 18:38:51
Andy Robertson will be leaving in the summer - source, the club itself.

Reliability ratings for the source? Solid 9/10 usually, this season 2/10.

09 Apr 2026 22:19:45
A fantastic player and a legend. His performances and contribution have been exceptional. He leaves as our current best LB and will be missed. Congratulations to him and best wishes for the future. What a player!

09 Apr 2026 22:33:57
Viva, he's not our current best LB, his legs have gone and he is a liability. I love the bloke to bits and really enjoyed watching him over the years, but don't get sentimental. Kerkez is better. I too wish him all the best in the future.

09 Apr 2026 22:51:23
@Kerkeez's uncle. you are wrong. His positional play, reading of the game, movement on and off the ball, his passing and game management are far superior. A nice flowing mullet and blindly running in a mole hole are not winning characteristics unless your god father is a certain Mr Hughes.

09 Apr 2026 23:26:05
Some might suggest that many players' legs have gone, regardless of age, and reasons for it.

10 Apr 2026 00:10:40
Best left back in the world for about 4 or 5 years. Looked perfectly at home in a great team. Thank you Robbo, very best wishes for your next adventure.

10 Apr 2026 06:30:51
Sad to see Robbo go, but it is necessary. What a player, what a man, and all for £8 million. ❤️

10 Apr 2026 13:50:58
I think Robbo started to struggle when Gini and Mane left. Still a full back legend though. Good Luck Robbo.

10 Apr 2026 18:33:16
Robbo should have been captain in his prime... Virg is no captain.
