Liverpool FC Rumours
Use our rumours form to send us liverpool transfer rumours.

Hi Ed's,
Seems to be that today, more so that other days there seems to be more talk of Trent leaving than others, sources like James Pearce etc stating that. had anything significant happened in the last few days to confirm that ot is it just paper talk?
{Ed002's Note - Trent Alexander-Arnold (RB/RWB/RM) Seen by Real Madrid as an option to Reece James and Pedro Porro. Could have offered an exchange for Rodrygo Goes in January - but it would take a significant amout of monry from Liverpool - or could try and persuade the player's agent to have their client run down his contract and then open negotiations in January. Liverpool will not want that and will look to a renewal.}

I stupidly clicked on a article shared on facebook where the headline says - James Pearce shares worrying update. - and then the article was about how Trent is carrying a bit of a niggly injury
lol
there's no updates until there is an update!
25 Oct 2024 08:21:12
Reminiscent of the Simpsons "are we there yet" skit.
25 Oct 2024 21:03:51
To be honest, the closer we get to the RM match the more pointlessly frenzied it’s going to get - watch Marc’s go!

Ed2 is the rumours of a new takeover bid, click bait.
{Ed002's Note - FSG are still looking to expand their presence in football from owning Liverpool to taking stakes in other sides. They have looked at Toulouse (which investors in FSG, RedBird Capital, own 85% of) but then settled on the far cheaper and in huge trouble, Bordeaux. and want to purchase a MLS side or to take a minorty share in one. The cost of adding Bordeaux means unpaid taxes, unpaid rent for the stadium and other debts would have to have been cleared by July 2024 and they weren't so they have been relegated to the third iter of French football - so that is now off the table. I suspect the reality of the state of Bordeaux resulted in FSG stepping away to concentrate on investing in an MLS side whilst they continue their chase for a new NBA franchise in Las Vegas. With one time potential Everton owners 777 Partners having a crumbling empire, clubs are looking at their assets. Vasco da Gama is part of that and has been for sale for a while with BlueCo having had exploratory talks after signing two players from them last summer. FSG could look to them also but there could be some legal hurdles to deal with as a Brazilian Court has removed the owners from being able to run the club. Standard Liege, Genoa, Hertha Berlin and Red Star Paris are also embroiled in this mess. Perhaps FSG's new friends at the Saudi PIF would be interested in some sort of further joint venture. There has certainly continued to be a thought that the PIF would like to move on from Newcastle and look to a higher profile side. In order to do so in England, or realistically in Europe, they would need to sell Newcastle or restructure the ownership somehow? Their primary target is Barcelona but it is owned by the supporters who nominally operate the club and there is no practical way taht the socios can sell. Already in bed with FSG, they could look to creating a partnership that takes Liverpool on board. This has the advantage that it will give FSG the funds to likely obtain the NBA Francise and MLS side they so desire - but I suspect there would be a huge backlash by supporters. Representatives of the Saudi PIF have also looked at Chelsea and Spurs.}

I’d take Saudi owners with no complaints. Keep us competing at highest level and give us the best chance of trophies. They been great at Newcastle imo.
23 Oct 2024 10:36:03
Not for me Brummy.
23 Oct 2024 12:16:46
Might need to throw the rainbow laces away.
23 Oct 2024 13:48:05
As always thanks in advanced and if not right place sorry! As an LFC and Tranmere fan, is the reported Rihanna and her partners take over bid actually legitimate? Assume as news died out so no, but is that random thought would query!
Seems strange as with two top English clubs nearby assumed growth would be limited - but on other hand if not aiming for BPL offers a good friendly place for fans both blue and red to regularly take family to a friendly football match with reasonable prices!
{Ed002's Note - I answered this on the Everton page yesterday: {Ed002's Note - I don't know what a "Rocky and Rihanna" is but there is a group of American investors looking to buy into lower-tier football clubs with a number for sale including Tranmere, Treviso, Pro Vercelli etc.. Moneyball is a baseball term. I don't know what the eventual investors will look to do but it will be purchased with a view to bringing a return on the investment.}
23 Oct 2024 14:20:49
Ah didn’t see that - cheers for info.
23 Oct 2024 21:11:36
Does us potentially doing something wrong to follow suit with other clubs doing wrong make us right? Seems it’s apparently ok from a business perspective but perhaps not from a more global humanitarian perspective, which, in my opinion, supersedes sport.
23 Oct 2024 17:58:31
Are Everton classed as below them then Ed?
{Ed002's Note - Everton should have new owners by the end of the year.}
23 Oct 2024 18:37:43
Thank you for the reply ed2.
24 Oct 2024 06:50:27
@Brummy. These owners brought in Klopp, bought (I'm not suggesting they were involved directly ya) the superstars that we have now, won PL, CL etc. So, I don't really get what you are trying to say.
24 Oct 2024 09:27:04
Ed002 what are the pro's and cons of buying or being a partner in multi clubs, for both the owners and fans . there seems to be only a few who seem to run it well. ie city group, red bull.
{Ed002's Note - It allows the owners to have players come through the other clubs via loans, or in the case of the City Football Group, through buying and selling. Sometimes, when it doesn't work out a player can be given a loan to a partner side to see if there is a chance of improvement (e.g. Darío Sarmiento). Sometines a club may send a player on loan for game time (e.g. Andrey Santos). So for the playing staff there are benefits. For owners, the most significant benefit is in the potential profit (e.g. Red Bull Salzburg who largely came from nowhere 20 years ago). On the downside, the success of Red Bull Salzburg has resulted in them having to drop the "Red Bull" when playing in international competitions. There is also scrutiny of all transfers between related clubs.}
25 Oct 2024 00:16:28
Haizen, yes they got Klopp which was by far and away the best thing they have done for the club. I would argue they didn’t buy any superstars, Klopp made them. As you have seen for the last few years we did not push on from the super team that Klopp built - additions of ‘superstars’ to that team would have arguably had us win a lot more. As Klopp realised you can’t perform miracles on a budget year after year - PIG owners would relieve that pressure and let us challenge year after year without having to get every signing right. That is what I’m trying to say. Thanks.
25 Oct 2024 05:07:14
Brummy - lol cos Newcastle are competing at the highest level then lol do you read what you write before you write it?
it's a pretty useless argument you're making. because the only teams you can compare our spending too haven't achieved anywhere near what we have.
25 Oct 2024 10:37:44
Ed002, thanks for the info.
25 Oct 2024 13:13:41
Faith - Newcastle have been limited by FFP and were starting off in a far worse position than ours fighting relegation. Think for yourself mate.
26 Oct 2024 09:58:42
I don’t think Klopp made Van Dijk and Alisson.
They were top class players from day 1.
The profile of the club certainly helped their careers.
26 Oct 2024 16:29:30
Both Virgil and Alisson became three or four times the player they were before at Liverpool, not sure why you think they were already at that level before coming here. Before coming here they had all the tools to possibly be the best in their position, at Liverpool they made a claim to be the best and then laid rest to any argument that they were the best, Virgil went up another level again when he was given the captain’s armband and proved that he can lead by example and be an organiser taking responsibility instead of shirking it when things start going awry.
26 Oct 2024 23:00:16
Both players were world class from Day 1 at Anfield.
They just “became better” by walking through the gates?
They were already great players, hence the fees.
21 Oct 2024 17:58:27
On another note i see Van Dijk has mentioned that discussions with the club had started about a new deal! Hopefully we get this one over the line, he is so important to us!

21 Oct 2024 18:35:16
Fingers crossed. Better late than never I suppose.
21 Oct 2024 18:39:26
And so it shall begin. Club and player sizing each other up, seeing how levels/ motivation/ ambition/ new coach business unfold, and now the players know that Arne is a good manager and that the reds will be there or there abouts, contract talks begin.
Obviously there could be twists and turns If Real, Barcelona and Bayern throw their hats in the ring, but this is the best league, and for the seniors, legends can be made and set in stone for generations to come.
Mo will surely end up at least 4th highest scorer ever in the prem.
21 Oct 2024 20:24:15
I hope Salah focuses more on breaking records than money. He gets paid handsomely already.
21 Oct 2024 21:29:35
How’s it late? There are 9 months left until June 2025.
21 Oct 2024 23:51:47
Any elite player that has seen how Mane and Benzema are getting on over there will be put off. Mo can goto the MLS at 35 like messi did, as can Virgil. Trent can goto the MLS at 35 when he's become the most creative full back in world football. of all time. Plenty of cash available in the MLS, better crowds and a more balanced lifestyle than in 50 degree heat all year round.
22 Oct 2024 17:07:33
If all 3 sign a new contract I guarantee you right now that there will be posts about how our aging squad needs looking at, about Trent not being good enough defensively and about the people running the club being incompetent for giving big money contracts to people in their 30's.
I'll be here for it as always. It's a good laugh if nothing else.
22 Oct 2024 18:45:47
Spot on @MK. I think the first cab off the rank, if they all stay will be VVD. Assuming his contract extension would come into effect on July 1st 2025 he will turn 34 a week later. I read somewhere that he’s aiming to play in the World Cup in 2026 which will make him 35 - be interesting to see the feedback from the fans if his form has dropped a notch or two by then.
22 Oct 2024 22:14:59
You know it’s coming MK ?.
23 Oct 2024 05:09:27
Keep telling us how losing 3 of our best players is fine MK, impress everyone with your superior footballing knowledge.
23 Oct 2024 05:24:03
losing all at the same time would def be problematic - if only for the hit to the club culture. Much better if its spaced out to alleviate the impact. But eventually like all top players they will drive off into the sunset in their overly expensive cars ;-)
23 Oct 2024 07:29:04
All 3 will sign, worry about how slow and crap they'll be in a coupla years in a. couple of years! As of right now this minute there's an argument all 3 are the best in the league in their position, we need them.
23 Oct 2024 08:26:49
I very much doubt there will be complaints if the 3 all sign. Especially if the squad is added to at the same time.
Of course it’s late to begin talks now, talks should have happened 2 years ago. I think the club has woken up hence the deals being discussed for some of the younger players.
23 Oct 2024 10:15:23
Time for Salah to go unless he is willing to reduce wages massively on a 2 year deal. Virg can play another few years and we have to try and keep Trent.
23 Oct 2024 16:16:05
Seano, I've been consistent from day one on that topic. I want all 3 to stay and I do not believe all 3 will leave. However if any or all of them do leave, I think we're financially in a strong enough position to replace them.
I'm simply laughing at how quickly the threads on here went from "Salah should be sold to Saudi as he's lost his pace, Virgil is not a leader plus he's in decline, and Trent is lazy plus he can't defend" to "they're 3 of our best players and we'll fall apart if they leave".
If your opinion is consistent, I respect it regardless of whether I agree with it. Football is subjective so on many topics of debate there is no right or wrong. If your opinion changes with the wind direction though, then I'm sorry but I'm going to enjoy myself laughing at the emotional immaturity of some football supporters.
23 Oct 2024 21:01:47
@Mark, so if VVD and the other two decide they want to stay and sign new contracts before January or even before June 25 would you say that the contract negotiations started too late?
27 Oct 2024 07:49:43
MK
It’s just varying opinions from different posters mate, nothing else. We all support the club but not everyone sings from the same hymn sheets. It’s not a surprise.
19 Oct 2024 12:53:55

There is a scenario where Madrid sign Frimpong and Trent stays at Anfield if rumours are to be believed.
19 Oct 2024 15:15:03
Sounds ideal to me that Stuie.
19 Oct 2024 19:05:21
Is there a scenario where Liverpool might be talking to Trent’s age net or even Trent himself do we think?
19 Oct 2024 19:45:16
Well my mate who lives near Mike Alexander still maintains Trent is not going anywhere.
19 Oct 2024 19:57:23
That's recent though Ron. Mike would have said for the past year that Trent wanted to go.
19 Oct 2024 20:10:36
Apparently not Kenco.
20 Oct 2024 08:02:19
Whose Mike alexander?
20 Oct 2024 09:48:11
All 3 amigos are staying and we're winning the league.
20 Oct 2024 13:45:08
There are infinite scenarios. We could let Trent go to Madrid for free then pay £100m to get him back.
Pogba United anyone? ?.
20 Oct 2024 15:11:11
Trent’s dad - Mike Alexander.
20 Oct 2024 19:31:52
That's good news then ron. Don't think he will leave myself.
20 Oct 2024 21:56:13
@LiverpoolFC8 aren’t there just the two scenarios? He goes or he stays. From a fan’s perspective he is either here next season or he isn’t.
21 Oct 2024 09:06:44
@WDW - No there are only 2 outcomes but there are infinite scenarios.
21 Oct 2024 19:41:51
9 Oct 2024 12:58:01
There is a scenario where Madrid sign Frimpong and Trent stays at Anfield if rumours are to be believed.
stuie_boy
I hope that's exactly what happens. But Frimpong is under contract until 2028, according to what I've read, unlike Trent.
A friend of mine who works with Trent's dad saw him on Sunday. He usually tells him the true state of play regarding TAA. Waiting to hear if he has anything to report.
22 Oct 2024 07:12:52
So Trent staying is not a scenario then @Shipley?
22 Oct 2024 09:07:59
WDW: it is one scenario but not one of two, as you had posted earlier.
For example, Trent could decide to go and play for Man City when his contract expires. Or PSG. Or take the Saudi petro-dollar. Unlikely, I know but all scenarios.
Hence the earlier posters “outcome” correction.
23 Oct 2024 21:05:20
@StE, I take your point but given you / we don’t know the situation the multiple scenarios are just speculation. As it stands from the point of view of fans of the club there are only two scenarios - TAA plays at Liverpool next season, or he doesn’t. Just my view of the world.
17 Oct 2024 13:34:25
Hi Ed's
I know Liverpool won't get anything if Trent decides to leave at the end of his contract.
If clubs sign you players that have been trained by a club then compensation is due. I just wondered at what point this ends.
{Ed002's Note - When the player is 24.}

17 Oct 2024 16:48:43
Would this still be the case for a foreign club? I can only remember off the top of my head it happening from clubs within England.
{Ed002's Note - Yes.}
17 Oct 2024 20:14:14
Whats the verdict on how trent would fit in at Real? Would he fit seemlessly into the new galacticos, or be just another good player amongst the many? Would he be as revered and loved there as he is in L4?
18 Oct 2024 00:48:56
Vango he would go and absolutely ball out in Spain. No questions at all and I’m sure he would be loved there too as they win a few more champs leagues.
18 Oct 2024 02:26:39
if TAA goes to spain it will make me think less of him as a person but not as a footballer. he is excellent at what he does and i sincerely hope he stays, but if he does go, we will replace him, we have lost many great players over the years and kept going. we already have bradley to fill his spot, maybe bring someone in like frimpong to take his place, no matter what, he will be replaced and the team will move on. I don't see it as much of a disaster as some, I have lived through us losing kenny, souness, neal, hansen etc and tbf i don't think he fits into that class of player at all however good his passing range and deadball skills are. we survived before, we will survive again, we are liverpool fc.
18 Oct 2024 08:25:36
I think, like many other players throughout Liverpool's history, TAA is a better player for being a Liverpool player. What I mean by that is that he seriously benefits from the backing and support he gets from the supporters and of course he massively benefited from having Klopp as his manager. He is forgiven for his (at times poor) defending, for being out of position frequently and for losing possession needlessly on a regular basis. He will not be forgiven these things at Real Madrid. He will have to adapt and do so immediately. You do not get time to bed-in.
18 Oct 2024 08:49:02
Vango, is he really revered and loved here? The media and pundits constantly go after him. Including ex-Liverpool players. He's taken dogs abuse from so-called Liverpool fans on every social media platform and internet forum I've ever visited. I'd say the English media in general is bordering on unanimously anti-Trent and the Liverpool media is spilt about 50:50.
I'd go if I was him. More money in his pocket, more trophies in his cabinet, more time with his best mate Jude and more respect from the fans/ media in a country that appreciates world class passing qualities more than any. He's probably in the top 10 most talented English players this century and yet if you go and start a conversation about him in any pub in the country, most people around the table (even Liverpool fans) will have you believe he is somewhere between a bang average and dreadful RB.
18 Oct 2024 09:54:48
Vango, you say he is revered by Liverpool fans but your comments on this thread, and by many others in the past suggests otherwise. It took one comment by a poor excuse for a manager that he "can't defend" and many immediately jumped on that. It also wasn't too long ago that many were suggesting selling him since Bradley is supposedly already a better RB than him. If anything, I would say that Trent is underappreciated.
It's not even reported anywhere that he is signing for Real Madrid and even then, he is already receiving pelters for it. And even if he were to sign for RM, it would be the fault of the club for not offering him a contract in a timely manner than it is his fault for not signing a non-existent LFC contract.
18 Oct 2024 10:22:39
Trying to understand why a move to real would make someone think less of him as a person?
18 Oct 2024 10:45:42
MK Scouser- He is loved by the partizan fan base and his stats speak for themselves, at least in this team. I am not going to angry if he leaves, its his life, dreams and desires that count-i don't buy the loyalty thing in the century of self.
My points about some of his shortcomings are not unfounded either, and my initial question was aimed at starting a debate.
Personally i have mixed feelings about how well he may do over there, where he will be just another player, rather than one of the star players, and yes, any mistakes could be met even more ferociously then they have been here.
Teams did not 'target' Trent for no reason-He has his brilliant skill set, and also areas where he is less strong.
I may even start watching a team that i loathe if he goes there.
18 Oct 2024 11:51:02
I've heard Trent would have to take a pay cut if he moves to Madrid.
If it was me in that situation I would be going nowhere. Even if they offered me a pay rise. Be assed with cheating English teams never mind Spanish ones.
18 Oct 2024 12:02:02
Vango, I think Trent catches a lot of very unfair flak on this topic. Did they target "Trent" or did they just target our "right side"? Because Salah has never been as hard working defensively as Mane/ Diaz, Konate/ Matip/ Gomez were never as good at RCB as Virgil was at LCB, and Robbo was never asked to drift into midfield like Trent was.
Also, I'd argue that generally speaking most teams tend to attack down the left more naturally. If you think about it, most players are right footed so they'll naturally sweep their passes out to Trent's side, as you have to open up your whole body as a right footer to clip a pass in behind a left back. Also, for some strange reason most teams quickest winger is usually the one on Trent's side as well. Doku (City), Vini Jr (Madrid), Martinelli (Arsenal), Son (Spurs), Kvaratskelia (Napoli), Mudryk (Chelsea), Gordon (Newcastle), Rashford (United) etc. How often does Robbo face that level of blistering pace running at him or in behind him? Also, even if you forget the speed side of the argument, Saka is probably the only world class right winger in Europe other than our own Salah, in my opinion.
So I put the question to you again, did they target Trent specifically, or were their multiple factors that make our right side a preferred route to goal?
18 Oct 2024 12:27:49
MK Scouser-Some good points, and a good question. I will be interested to see how he fares at Real, should the inevitable occur. His passing with Vini, Mbappe and Jude lurking could shine even more brightly, and I could see why he may want to test himself against the best.
Perhaps part of the reason he is leaving (i think its highly likely), is to prove the doubters wrong, and good luck to him.
He deserves the opportunity.
Week in week out he will be playing against lesser players in the Spanish league, simply because the competition is nowhere near as strong as it is in the Prem but i think mistakes any mistakes will be pounced on even more so.
18 Oct 2024 16:01:50
I agree Adam, he is always singled out by pundits for being a 'poor' defender yet these same pundits praise Walker for his defending - when you watch the actual games and review their stats though, Trent comes away as better than Walker - less errors, more tackles, more interceptions, more recoveries etc yet everyone would have you believe Walker is a truly great defender.
He's not, he has pace and that's about it - his pace gets him out of so much trouble that he puts himself in by not reading the game at all. Then, when you look at the other aspects of the game such as passing, crosses, corners, free kicks etc, Trent just destroys any stat Walker has yet so many pundits and fans would rather have Walker in their team - I do not understand why.
18 Oct 2024 19:57:46
It’s the clubs lack of authority, lack of ambition that has led to this situation. It’s negligence at best and all this should have been avoided years ago. If you think small time you end up as Spurs.
18 Oct 2024 22:05:11
Why does there always have to be someone to blame Mark? There’s obviously a reason why it’s got to where it’s got but we don’t know enough about it to start pointing fingers.
It is what it is just let it play out and all will be fine, whichever way it goes.
19 Oct 2024 08:04:04
MK, agree with most of your points part from the one about him receiving love etc from Madrid fans and media over there. Both are notorious for turning backs on players, look at Bale and let's not forget the constant racism. Even his own fans hurl racist abuse at Vini Jr.
19 Oct 2024 08:09:23
That’s called putting you head in the sand and hoping for the best Beckers Pecker. No way our 3 star players should have got to this position with their contracts. Lessons need to be learned and quickly.
19 Oct 2024 08:32:23
Again @Mark - how is it a lack of authority (‘You will sign this contract right now or we’ll stop your pocket money’) or ambition? Can you imagine a situation where a player fulfils his contract and then chooses to move somewhere else? Can you imagine any scenario where the club lacks blame because the player has made a choice to move somewhere else?
As has been said, you always want someone to blame and you always chose to identify the worst scenario and then adopt it as fact.
It is entirely possible that one, two or even all three of the players want to do something else,
19 Oct 2024 08:34:53
It must be hard for guys to keep finding something to condemn their own club with when we're top of the table.
But they will always find something to cling to. something they can blow out of proportion to claim that the club lacks ambition or whatever.
It's as if they get no pleasure from the actual games at all.
Each to their own.
19 Oct 2024 08:59:44
There were periods of time when Trent especially would have signed a new deal. Equally there were times when top players were available and wanted to come and we missed out.
We must learn lessons and fast. I can’t remember any other top club leaving the top players to run down their contracts. Of course there are people who have failed in their basic work.
19 Oct 2024 09:58:40
I don't think top players leaving top clubs on a free is as rare an occurrence as we like to think since both Messi and Mbappe left on free transfers away from Barcelona and PSG respectively.
But to have three top players leave the same club at the same time on free transfers is unprecedented.
19 Oct 2024 10:55:28
I'm amazed at how many posters have insights into conversations that may have or may not have taken place between players and their representatives and LFC.
19 Oct 2024 10:58:32
Yep but your 3 best players at once! All with only 6 months left. that's never happened before.
19 Oct 2024 15:03:12
Trents wage package should be up there with VVD's, no doubt in my mind, but what would he get at Real, and is this even about money?
Is Mo still worth 350 a week as he is? Are contracts based on current output or history?
I'd say VVD and Trent are more important than the Mo Salah of now, but at the same time, even if all 3 left, would it necessarily mean that we become a worse team?
19 Oct 2024 18:10:39
Trent will find out at Real Madrid he is not special. Every Spaniard can pass the ball like him in La Liga.
19 Oct 2024 23:01:15
Don’t be absurd Leek. La Liga is an average league and the best players in Spain are not Spanish. Trent would be the best passer in that league by a distance.
20 Oct 2024 07:31:05
You keep clinging to the negatives @Mark- no doubt the next time we lose a game we’ll be subjected to a lecture about the need for a defensive midfielder and a lecture about who is to blame.
20 Oct 2024 08:37:29
If Trent isn't special then why the big fuss about extending his contract Leek?
21 Oct 2024 15:49:46
MK Scouser: “I’d go if I were him”.
Welp, why don’t you because you’re certainly not a Liverpool fan coming out with wool nonsense like that.
Embarrassing.
{Ed025's Note - i dont think you can ever say MK is not a Liverpool fan mate, hes been posting for years and is one of the best posters on here, dont confuse an alternative view with being a negative nellie..
21 Oct 2024 18:54:31
Ed025, I think that’s the nicest thing you’ve ever said about me ?
Why0why, are you suggesting that guys like McManaman or Torres are not Liverpool fans just because they chose to leave the club? Because when you hear how they talk about Liverpool it’s abundantly clear they never stopped loving the club. I left my dream job. My old boss disrespected me in front of colleagues so in the heat of the moment I updated my CV and stuck it online! 2 weeks later I was offered a 50% pay rise somewhere else and it was a no brainer from there ??♂️.

The Madrid fans would turn on him the moment his performances drop below 8/ 10 for a few weeks. They are currently giving Bellingham a hard time for not being as good as last season in terms of scoring. It doesn't matter that he's been injured or that Mbappe has come in and taken the limelight.
Trent would get grief if they let a couple of goals on his side.

I think if Trent did decide to go you'd suddenly find our media think he's the greatest right back who ever lived. Call me conspiratorial but I think a lot of the negative press he gets is because he's a Liverpool player. If the same guy was born in London and played for Chelsea or arsenal the negative press wouldn't exist.

Liverpool are in advanced talks with Sevilla over a deal for French 24-year-old defender Loic Bade.

@Vango, that’s not necessarily true is it? It was reported on the BBC gossip page based on a story in Todo Fichajes (in Spain) .
17 Oct 2024 20:15:15
WDW-Indeed it is from the BBC page, afterall, as you always point out, this is a rumour page and that is a rumour.
Bade looks bad, in a good way. He would be off every Jan for the AFCON though.
17 Oct 2024 23:25:12
AFCON is every year now?
17 Oct 2024 23:33:31
@Vango, all for rumours mate - all I was saying is the third hand rumour wasn’t necessarily true. I’m sure you’d agree that most rumours are a complete load of rubbish and are only shared to provoke a reaction.
18 Oct 2024 08:20:22
Afcon is not every January.
18 Oct 2024 08:26:25
WDW, I hope this one is one of the true ones. He looks like a beastly player.
18 Oct 2024 13:56:11
@stoneage. AFCON is every 2 years.
18 Oct 2024 22:05:00
WDW the lad was only saying what he had heard. After all it is for the rumour page.

@Iwillbered, did you read all of the thread and understand what was being said ?

Seen a couple of reports today that we are interested in Barella from inter in the summer and also Marmoush from Frankfurt - is there anything in these or just two more added to a list of all the players signing for LFC?
{Ed002's Note - Nicolo Barella (CM/DM) Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid have had approaches turned away. Don't be surprised of a significant offer from Manchester City or PSG or a further approach from Real Madrid - but Inter don't wish to sell and would no doubt demand something towards €100M or so. Liverpool or Spurs may show an interest but Inter have not been approached by either although they have sent scouts. The player does not wish to leave and is expected to sign a new contract. Long term interest of Chelsea went with the player wanting to stay in Italy - although they could yet try to persuade him otherwise and have spoken with Ale Beltrami who acts as an intermediary offering up Lukaku as part of the deal last year to no avail. Beltrami has also spoken with Manchester City directly. Interest of Manchester United and Newcastle has gone.
Omar Marmoush (S/LW) Eintracht Frankfurt have no intention of selling the the right footed versatile forward although West Ham has a declared interest. His agent says there is still interest from Newcastle, Spurs and Brentford. Apparently, noted by Liverpool scouts when were watching another player late last season. Chelsea have sent scouts.}

Interesting question. Would have to say yes to that deal bc a. it would be good to get something (anything) for Trent and b. It would be a relief to have Salah’s replacement sorted.
16 Oct 2024 21:16:04
Lost me with the reference to Trent @Stone.
17 Oct 2024 00:01:13
Was meant for the thread below.

That makes sense - thanks @stone.
