Georginio Wijnaldum speaks on Barcelona interest and his Liverpool future
Liverpool and Netherlands midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum has insisted that he was not close to joining Barcelona during the recent international transfer window. The Blaugrana dismissed Quique Setien from the head coach role shortly after their humiliating 8-2 defeat to Bayern Munich in the Champions League in August. He was replaced by Ronald Koeman, who was previously the manager of the Netherlands and that led to the speculation that Wijnaldum could be keen on a reunion. However, that was not the case and Wijnaldum has now revealed that there was no concrete interest from the Blaugrana and he did not have to think about the same. “I don’t think [the Barcelona interest] was that serious, otherwise you would have read a bit more, or more would have happened. There was nothing concrete. I ...

‘Bring him’, ‘Do it’, some Liverpool fans favour late move for 28-year-old goalkeeper
A section of Liverpool fans on Twitter have welcomed the possibility of goalkeeper Paulo Gazzaniga joining the club from Tottenham Hotspur on deadline day. The Reds suffered an embarrassing 7-2 defeat at Aston Villa last night where goalkeeper Adrian was at fault for the opening goal conceded. Besides this, the Spaniard struggled with his positioning over the course of the game and The Independent has reported that the Reds are eyeing a new shot-stopper. Alisson has been the undisputed choice in goal over the past two seasons, but the Brazilian could be out for a while after sustaining a shoulder injury in training. Adrian has looked uncertain in goal on a number of occasions this year and it appears that the Reds could make an attempt to sign Gazzaniga from Spurs. The 28-year-old has drop...
‘We have to be realistic’: Enrique thinks one reported Liverpool transfer won’t happen
Jose Enrique has stated on Instagram that he does not think that Liverpool will sign Kylian Mbappe from Paris Saint-Germain anytime soon. The former Liverpool star has suggested that the fans of the defending Premier League champions need to stop hoping that the France international forward will arrive at Anfield.

L’Equipe reported in September that Liverpool are planning to sign Mbappe from PSG in the summer of 2021. Superb signing for Liverpool Mbappe is one of the best forwards on the planet and is a world-class player who would make Liverpool simply unstoppable. True, the PSG star would be very expensive in transf...

‘Wow, absolutely criminal’: Some Liverpool fans react after hearing latest transfer update
Liverpool bowed out of the Carabao Cup yesterday after losing to Arsenal on penalties at Anfield. Jurgen Klopp’s side created some very good chances during the game but it stayed 0-0 after 90 minutes. In the penalty shoot out, Arsenal edged Liverpool 5-4 to progress to the fourth round of the competition.

Jurgen Klopp surprised by Liverpool’s early season form
Jurgen Klopp said Monday that he has been blown away by the standards Liverpool have set at the start of their Premier League title defence after coming from behind to beat Arsenal 3-1 at Anfield.
