Liverpool have been warned that allowing Brazilian goalkeeper Alisson to leave Anfield would be a huge mistake.

The final round of league phase fixtures in the 2025-26 Champions League is finally upon us, and it promises to be the most dramatic yet. Only table toppers Arsenal and Bayern Munich have already secured automatic qualification for the round of 16, with the former boasting a 100 percent record through their first seven games, while just four clubs have been eliminated so far: Eintracht Frankfurt, Slavia Prague, Villarreal and Kairat.

Liverpool manager Arne Slot has been warned he "won't have a leg to stand on" if the Reds fail to qualify for the 2026-27 Champions League by Jamie Carragher. The Reds are in the midst of a difficult season and currently sit down in sixth place in the Premier League table.

Liverpool have announced a deal has been put in place to sign highly-rated 17-year-old centre-back Ifeanyi Ndukwe from Austria Vienna.

Ndukwe has been at Austria Vienna since the age of seven, making his way through the youth ranks and catching the eye of Arne Slot's side.

Liverpool and manager Arne Slot have been sent a warning about the club's transfer activity by former captain Jamie Redknapp. The Reds have missed out on a move for Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi who has completed a transfer to Manchester City.

Bayern Munich's unbeaten record in this season's Bundesliga is gone! The Bavarians were upset at the Allianz Arena by Augsburg, although the German champions are still eight points clear of Borussia Dortmund at the top of the table, meaning it's unlikely to adversely affect their chances of retaining their title. However, things are getting very interesting in England, where we thought Arsenal were almost home and hosed only to suffer a wobble that has made things very interesting, given Manchester City and Aston Villa are both closing in on the Gunners.

Mohamed Salah has returned from the Africa Cup of Nations only to stumble into a piece of unwanted history at Anfield. The Egyptian forward started in Liverpool’s shock defeat to Bournemouth, a result that means he has now been on the losing side in seven of his last eight Premier League starts - equalling a dismal record set by Dirk Kuyt during the club's struggles in 2012.

Andrew Robertson is set to remain a Liverpool player for the rest of the season after the Anfield hierarchy informed Tottenham that a deal is off the table.

Xabi Alonso has reportedly received a “first call” from Liverpool, with his interest in a future managerial role on Merseyside being sounded out.
