Liverpool news

Liverpool have secured a big victory off the pitch after it was revealed the club only had to part with a small sum this summer in order to land both Florian Wirtz and Alexander Isak. The Reds signed Wirtz, 22, and Isak, 25, in eye-catching deals which could eventually reach a combined total of £241 million (€278m/$326m).

Arne Slot is adamant he has no concerns over the attitude of new signing Alexander Isak following the forward's decision to go on strike in order to force through his move to Liverpool from Newcastle. Isak, 25, joined the Reds for a British transfer record fee of £125 million (€144.5m/$169.3m) on deadline day, ending the summer-long saga surrounding his future.

Roy Keane snapped at Ian Wright after the Arsenal legend refused to criticise his old club's performance in their recent 1-0 defeat against Liverpool. The Gunners suffered their first Premier League loss of the 2025-26 season before the international break after Dominik Szoboszlai scored a wonderful late free-kick to decide the game at Anfield.

Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner has rubbished claims he tried to strong-arm the club into keeping Marc Guehi by threatening to quit. The Austrian coach, whose contract runs until the end of this season, insisted there was no ultimatum and no heated fallout with chairman Steve Parish. Instead, Glasner said the saga was a matter of pure footballing logic.

Liverpool and Newcastle United's rivalry continues as the Magpies are trolled by a video of Alexander Isak and Virgil van Dijk meeting at training.

Arne Slot has lifted the lid on Liverpool's failed attempts to sign Crystal Palace star Marc Guehi while admitting "it happens to our players as well". The Reds' dramatic deadline-day move sensationally fell apart in the final moments of the transfer window, despite the England star completing a medical and agreeing terms at Anfield.

Liverpool fans may have to wait before seeing Alexander Isak unleashed in full flow, with manager Arne Slot admitting the club’s new £125 million signing is still lacking fitness after missing pre-season. The Swedish striker joined on deadline day following a stand-off with Newcastle and will be eased into action carefully, with his availability against Burnley on Sunday under doubt.

Pep Guardiola has claimed he would not swap his Manchester City striker Erling Haaland for any other player in the world.

A lot has changed since the last round of action in England's top flight, meaning this weekend's fixtures are full of intrigue

Real Madrid are reportedly growing in confidence that they can secure Liverpool defender Ibrahima Konate on a free transfer next summer. The Frenchman, out of contract at Anfield in 2026, is said to be the subject of internal discussions among Los Blancos staff, who believe they are close to reaching a verbal agreement with the 26-year-old centre-back.

UEFA have announced a major Champions League rule change that could hand fresh hope to several high-profile stars left out of 25-man squads. Just days after Gabriel Jesus, Federico Chiesa and Mathys Tel saw their league phase dreams dashed, clubs will now be allowed to register a temporary replacement if a player suffers a long-term injury or illness.

Liverpool believe that Hugo Ekitike can become their version of Kylian Mbappe or Erling Haaland, with data revealing startling comparisons.
