Liverpool news

Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk has broken his silence on the future of “good friend” Mohamed Salah, with the Egyptian superstar continuing to see a move away from Anfield speculated. Interest from the Saudi Pro League refuses to go away, heading towards the summer transfer window, but those on Merseyside are hoping to see a talismanic presence stay put.

Liverpool head coach Arne Slot has heaped praise on Mohamed Salah for his starring role in their 3-0 win against Brighton in the FA Cup on Saturday evening. Strikes from Curtis Jones and Dominik Szoboszlai saw the Reds build a commanding 2-0 lead, before Salah, who ran the show, capped off proceedings from the penalty spot.

Liverpool have been warned that star midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai harbours ambitions of playing for Real Madrid at some point in his career. Szoboszlai's contract runs until 2028 and the reigning Premier League champions want to keep him, with talks over a new deal taking place. However, comments from Hungary manager Marco Rossi could sour the mood at Anfield.

Liverpool are by no means back to their best. And nor is Mohamed Salah. But there were enough positive signs from both in Saturday night's 3-0 FA Cup fourth-round win over Brighton to suggest that this most trying of seasons might actually end on a positive note for the Reds. Arne Slot's men were actually quite flat in the first half, perhaps exhausted from the effort required to end Sunderland's unbeaten home record in the Premier League in midweek, but they still went into the interval ahead thanks to Curtis Jones' close-range finish from Milos Kerkez's cross.

This weekend sees the return of FA Cup action, and we’ve got three Liverpool vs Brighton predictions as they clash on Saturday, 14 February.

Liverpool manager Arne Slot has offered an update on Ibrahima Konate's future at the club as the defender heads into the final few months of his contract at Anfield. Konate has been linked with a move to Real Madrid on a free transfer at the end of the 2025-26 season, but Slot has made it clear that he wants the Frenchman to stay and sign a new contract with the Reds.

Mohamed Salah will reportedly have the option of following Lionel Messi to the United States or Cristiano Ronaldo to the Saudi Pro League when another transfer window opens this summer. The Liverpool superstar has seen a move to the Middle East speculated on for some time, but Fabrizio Romano claims interest is also being shown from teams in MLS.

Robinho Jr only turned 18 in December, but he has already broken into the senior team at Santos, where he is now rubbing shoulders with Brazil's all-time record goal-scorer, Neymar. The teenager is already attracting transfer interest from a host of top European clubs, partly because of his ability, but also due to the footballing legacy of his father.

Arne Slot is nursing another injury headache at Liverpool, with the Reds boss announcing that a knock sustained by Wataru Endo looks to be a “serious one”. It has been stated that the outlook “doesn’t look good” for the versatile Japan international. He was forced out of a Premier League clash with Sunderland and is facing up to a lengthy spell on the sidelines.

Virgil van Dijk has issued a passionate plea to defensive partner Ibrahima Konate, urging the "world-class" centre-back to commit his future to Liverpool as his contract ticks down towards expiry. The Reds captain admits the negotiation process is "never easy" but insists the Frenchman is vital to Arne Slot’s vision, amid growing fears he could leave for free this summer.

Arne Slot has told Liverpool's attacking players it would "be nice" if they started scoring more goals to make winning matches "more simple". The Reds secured a narrow 1-0 win over Sunderland on Wednesday night to keep themselves in the hunt for a top-four finish, and while the Dutchman was pleased with the result, he's urged the Merseysiders to be more clinical.

Liverpool closed the gap on those above them in the Premier League's top-five race as Virgil van Dijk's header secured a 1-0 win over Sunderland on Wednesday.
