Liverpool Transfer Rumours

31 Aug 2026 03:55:50
Romano saying that Palace are searching for a winger as they know we want Sarr. The bid for Sarr was £45m+£5m in add-ons last week, which was rejected. He goes on to say a lot of agents offering their clients to us as we are in need of a winger. Two days to go, let's see what happens.

31 Aug 2026 05:42:36
Any idea which other players? I think Sarr is better than Minteh and a much better option, but I only see two players who are valid options.

30 Aug 2026 22:06:04
Hi all,

Not the best news to share with you but news regardless.

The media push did come, particularly from the player side - but it was not as successful as hoped.

As things currently stand, I believe Gakpo departs and neither Sarr/Minteh arrive. It’s believed Liverpool may like to take advantage of City’s offer while the market is proving extra lucrative.

Deals for either player is looking very difficult to conclude.

If a new winger is brought in, it’ll likely be an understudy to Munoz who has impressed the coaching staff majorly.

It’s worth noting that anything can change in the next 48 hours but I am not filled with confidence. Scatter gun business has landed us in a poor position.

30 Aug 2026 22:15:03
Great news.
We sell and don't replace. How has it come to this! Honestly, it's frightening how bad this transfer window is.

30 Aug 2026 22:17:32
Maybe we hijack someone quick like Munoz in the next couple days.

{Ed666's Note - he already plays for us mate 😆

30 Aug 2026 22:20:21
I still think maybe a deadline day last minute loan maybe.

{Ed666's Note - As long as you’re in a giving mood I’ll have £100k please Hampo

30 Aug 2026 22:24:06
Thanks VG, talk about leave the manager short!
Any news on a possible midfielder?

30 Aug 2026 22:35:00
I still think Minteh is the plan and we will get him. Brighton working on the rw from Millwall (who looks decent btw).

30 Aug 2026 22:36:01
That is jaw droppingly bad.

30 Aug 2026 22:36:53
So we have no replacement for Jones or Gakpo despite these being the dominoes that needed to fall (not a dig at any posters).
Richard Hughes has been one of the worst things to happen to the club in recent memory.

{Ed666's Note - Barcola is the Gakpo replacement hence why Gakpo is leaving.

30 Aug 2026 22:38:41
Longthing76, you want to know how it's come to this? FSG leaving recruitment in the hands of a man who is already working for his new employer. It's called incompetence, negligence and maladministration.

30 Aug 2026 22:43:00
Absolute travesty. Just keep Gakpo and use on the RW.

30 Aug 2026 22:43:53
Is this all Hughes though? Could the problems be deeper than just him?

30 Aug 2026 22:45:44
This would be absolutely shocking if it's true. Barcola, Isak and Munoz are a good front 3, don't get me wrong. However, this would basically leave us with Rio, Koumas and probably Chiesa (who would have to stay out of pure necessity).

Ekitike can't come back soon enough.

Desperate times. Let's at least hope the midfield and defence can be fixed with good coaching. As it seems we're done recruiting in those areas.

{Ed666's Note - absolutely no point Ekitike coming back any time soon e soon because it would just be cardio for him playing matches. He’ll be a nothing burger in terms of being back to his best. That will take a long time

30 Aug 2026 22:50:11
If we have no one else lined up to come in, we should not be selling Gakpo. Let alone selling him to a rival, it's ludicrous if that's what's happening.

{Ed666's Note - he wants to go because Barcola is taking his place.

30 Aug 2026 22:56:05
Good grief. How can we have that many directors and be in this position - what are Woodfine, Ward, Marques doing?

Chelsea are a circus, but have done all their business. Martinez, Palestra, Lacroix, Barco, Rodgers, Quenda and look like they will get Lamine Camara - all while making 300m worth of sales. This is not even including the Welbeck and Hendo additions.

30 Aug 2026 22:26:10
Ed666 🤣

30 Aug 2026 22:59:21
Maladministration? 😂 Someone has just bought a thesaurus.

{Ed666's Note - I thought that was our new goalkeeper

30 Aug 2026 23:00:12
Why don't we just wait and see what happens before flying off the handle?

It's really not worth stressing yourself over when you don't know all of the facts.

{Ed666's Note - This is stoicism Barry in Louth

30 Aug 2026 23:01:03
Go for that Azeez from Millwall. African right winger, quick, within our budget and injured. Perfect.

30 Aug 2026 23:01:42
Thanks for your information, as always, Victor. Always look forward to your posts. I honestly can't see the club leaving us so short for the coming season, without bringing someone else in. Let's hope that they have a plan in place and that they have become awesome at stopping leaks to the outside world.

30 Aug 2026 23:07:10
Hughes isn't and Edwards wasn't fit for purpose.

In addition Slot turned out to be useless as a coach in the PL when he had to stand on his own two feet.

Part of the problem stems from buying some very good players last summer but not being able to turn them into a team that could play good football.

Slot was kept on way too long, he should have been gone last November but the club thought they would give him a chance to redeem himself, especially as there was no real candidate to take over (the exception being Xabi, although he might have had enough for a while with the Real Madrid show).

With hindsight it was disappointing that the club couldn't / didn't have replacements ready for Hughes and Edwards (although I know Gordon stepped in when the situation became untenable), but the lack of preparedness, the change of manager and the effect of the World Cup really stuffed us up.

I think that when Slot and Edwards left the plans for the window went out of the window (see what I did there) and keeping Hughes on may well be a case of the elephant in the room.

All that said, the kids we have brought in look good but we are about 3 or so short still. For me I'd rather stick with what we have rather than panic buy on the last day. I'd get rid of Hughes, bring in a DoF to work with AI and work on the players for the system he wants to play for the winter and summer 27 transfer windows.

30 Aug 2026 23:13:22
Club's a mess!!!

{Ed666's Note - Did you just wake up Rip Van Winkle?

30 Aug 2026 23:22:34
An understudy to an understudy.

30 Aug 2026 23:25:25
That would be disappointing to say the least. I guess FSG are happy to leave the manager deal with a thin squad and a disgruntled fan base.

In that case, this season's focus will be on improving players, getting his systems imbedded, and deciding who fits and who doesn't.

I do think if we sell Gakpo and no replacement is bought, I suspect FSG have checked out and it's just a case of waiting for the new owners to take over.

I love I'm hope as always.

30 Aug 2026 23:31:49
Hughes probably doesn't work bank holidays either. 🤣

Just to add, Virgil & Ali probably leave next season too.

30 Aug 2026 23:23:29
I appreciate the response Ed666 but I jusy think, the club should come first here, I'm fine with him going as to be honest I'm not his biggest fan but he should only be allowed to go if we have another winger coming in.

{Ed666's Note - it’s no secret I don’t rate Gakpo but I have to respect him for wanting to leave to play football and not sit on the bench. Hes going because we have another winger coming in Barcola who plays in cody’s position and we have Rio as Barcolas understudy. Now you may say that Gakpo can play up front and would be a perfect Isak substitute but that’s not gakpos preferred position. If city or spurs are giving him an opportunity to play week in week out and he’s not getting a reduction in wages why wouldn’t he do it?

30 Aug 2026 23:44:19
It's just the End of FSG. New ownership is around the corner.

30 Aug 2026 23:49:51
Selling Gakpo without a replacement is madness.

{Ed666's Note - wait till Tuesday please

30 Aug 2026 23:58:17
For what it's worth, I still think we will sign a player to replace Gakpo. As incompetent as Hughes is, and perhaps Woodfine in the DOF role, you'd have to imagine they'll be working hard to get someone over the line.

Brighton chasing Azeez is what gives me hope. And Minteh is the one I want.

{Ed666's Note - I really like Minteh. I was against signing him because he’s injured but after seeing some of the names brandished about for right wing id be happy with his signature.

31 Aug 2026 00:00:01
Who would have thought selling Cody for £80m would cause so much unrest. Arne must be laughing from his VIP spot in Ibiza.

31 Aug 2026 00:10:47
Has to be Szob on the right hand side then surely?

31 Aug 2026 00:19:40
Hughes and Co have pulled off some major mind trick here.

Last week no one wanted Minteh or Sarr for £50m. Now some want the Millwall right winger. Talk about managing down expectations, and creating hysteria and desperation.

Next thing you know, fans will be calling for last season's best midfielder Szob to play at right back, with Macallister in defensive midfield.

Will Wright for centre forward, anyone?

31 Aug 2026 00:12:20
Ok gotcha Ed0666 👌

31 Aug 2026 00:24:23
Riostep is so right, the best post this window. I'm also happy with the business we've done, the results speak for themselves.

31 Aug 2026 00:28:20
Utter meltdown, hugs needed everywhere. 🫠

{Ed666's Note - And belly rubs for the most hysterical ones.

31 Aug 2026 00:36:37
Just wait till news filters out that Barcs has failed his medical.

31 Aug 2026 00:40:49
The place is crazy atm, can't wait till the window closes and folk calm down.

31 Aug 2026 00:42:57
Don't, Overkill, place will be even more unbearable.

31 Aug 2026 00:50:23
It's all a bit of an insult to the club, the new manager, his staff and us supporters in my opinion. It's wholly incompetent behaviour from those in charge of these things. They don't care, that's the long and short of it.

31 Aug 2026 00:51:52
So Red jn Belfast, I take it that you're happy that the cretin who is paid to deal with the squad incomings and outgoings has been more focused on sorting out transfers for his new employer in Saudi Arabia than dealing with the glaring deficiencies in the squad of his current employers, whilst those self same current employers idly sit by and watch it happen? It doesn't bother you one bit that the owners, the senior management and recruitment team are so incompetent and utterly negligent.

You're happy we're writing off then? Because to me it looks like a complete and utter mess.

31 Aug 2026 01:23:02
Vik, trust the process, there's time even though it's getting late.

If all else fails, as the likes of Rio point out, the players we have just need a cuddle.

It's the taking part, not the winning that counts.

31 Aug 2026 01:32:57
Gakpo should absolutely be sold while the offer is there - Liverpool made a massive error of judgment, giving him such a large wage, and 80m+ for him is essentially a bailout of that. Come January, City and other suitors will have moved on and we'll be stuck with a player simply not providing the value to match his wage.

{Ed666's Note - Preaching to the choir mate I’m all for it. I think you and I are in the minority.

31 Aug 2026 02:03:17
I don't understand how he is guaranteed to play regularly for City. They already have good wingers. He was getting a decent amount of games while Diaz was here. Why would it be different now?

31 Aug 2026 03:21:49
Not good news, Victor

In a situation where every player leaves, there's no signing of Uwing, no signing of a fullback, and no signing of a midfielder.

30 Aug 2026 21:20:02
David Ornstein reporting Brighton are trying to sign Femi Azeez, a right winger at Millwall.
10 million bid rejected but they are not giving up.
Could be a Minteh replacement.

30 Aug 2026 22:22:43
We should just cut out the middle man and just go sign Azeez. I've never heard of him, but sod it.

30 Aug 2026 22:37:14
If anyone is worth a cheap punt, it's a Brighton target surely, MK!

30 Aug 2026 23:27:25
Could just be cover for Minteh.

30 Aug 2026 19:37:43
Reports that Sarr has deleted all his Crystal Palace club photos from his Instagram account, he is dissatisfied the club won't accept a reasonable fee and let him move.
Ugh.

30 Aug 2026 21:46:07
You would think they had learned that trying to do a last minute deal with Crystal Palace is never going to be easy.

30 Aug 2026 19:27:20
Looks like Bajcetic is leaving on a permanent I had I hopes for him he looked like a top propesct before his injuries.

30 Aug 2026 22:33:02
And there is mention that we put buyback option. If true, not bad. He gets up to speed and builds himself, and we bring him back.
He would never have got playing time or a proper return from injury since PL is physical.

30 Aug 2026 22:44:35
Same, thought he'd be a future captain. Such a shame it never worked out for him.

30 Aug 2026 23:31:57
"A future captain" didn't he play like 15 games? Granted he was a breath of fresh air during Fabinho's Space Jam like downfall, but, wow, he had issues ever since.

31 Aug 2026 00:01:18
Made me giggle that Swig.

30 Aug 2026 11:57:47
Barcola has been spotted at the training ground.

30 Aug 2026 21:10:09
Isak £100 mill plus, Wirtz £100 mill plus.

Third time lucky?

Best of Luck Bb ..........

30 Aug 2026 21:15:08
I went past it at about 17:10 and there was definitely more activity there than a usual Sunday (I'm from Kirkby).
It wasn't manic, and there were about 5 kids and a woman outside talking to security (who u don't usually see, just driving past (I do this often for family stuff)), but the carpark was about half full.



Don't know if that's useful, was just trying to add context.

Len.

30 Aug 2026 21:32:19
Video on YT: Hugo is walking for circa 20 minutes without crutches as an aid! Leoni must be close. 24 September will be a full year recovery so far!

30 Aug 2026 21:32:46
We should be past Barcola now. He has signed. We need others through the door.

30 Aug 2026 22:02:53
Didn't take long for the new toy to lose it's appeal eh?

30 Aug 2026 22:04:51
Welcome to Anfield, Bradley, our new number six. Can't wait to see you busting some heads, sitting in front of the defence lol.

30 Aug 2026 22:29:50
It does add context, Len, as it was exactly the same as kids when we would linger around Melwood. Different era, of course, but no smoke without fire.

30 Aug 2026 19:47:13
The club are reluctant to go too heavy on the RW position because they are absolutely convinced they get Olise next year. He's not signing a new contract at Bayern and wants the move to Liverpool.

He's going to be in excess of £100m so they won't be buying more than 1 right winger in the coming days. A loan is preferred given the Olise move

Cheers

DjimiT

30 Aug 2026 19:53:22
No chance Olise joins us unless we are competitive again. Our only hope is the French connection.

30 Aug 2026 19:56:48
They should learn to live in the present.

30 Aug 2026 19:58:33
Great if true, but sounds like Bellingham 2.0.

30 Aug 2026 20:00:20
I would love this to be true, mate, but if he came available Real Madrid would want him as well as others, and unless he is a massive Liverpool fan I just can't see it. And, I don't mean to sound s***ty, but you said we walked away from Barcola, but I would love you to be right, mate.

30 Aug 2026 20:02:46
Can he play RB or CDM?

30 Aug 2026 20:09:21
No disrespect here, Djimy T, but that would be absolutely ridiculous. The amount of good players we have missed out on in just the last few windows would tell you that we would be gambling to the highest level if this was true.
Back the new manager now, ffs.

30 Aug 2026 20:16:13
Olise is a top player, but another powder puff defensive contributor.

Team balance is surely a thing we must be thinking about.

Surely last year is a lesson we took onboard.

30 Aug 2026 20:17:24
Absolute Bull, he wants real.
And ITK.
Space called it weeks ago.

30 Aug 2026 20:21:32
Of course, the obvious explanation for a muddled search for a RW. It was Olise all along.

30 Aug 2026 20:26:57
Olise is not coming to Liverpool next year.

Also, he is limited.

30 Aug 2026 20:36:26
Killer, he's a top player, he ain't joining us in any way.

30 Aug 2026 20:37:01
Give it up, Djimi.
Whatever stock you have pre Barcola has disintegrated.
I wish you well on your quest to become an ITK.

30 Aug 2026 20:35:34
Do you wake up in the morning and think 'what spew can I spill today' cause that's how your rumours come across! You said we walked away from Barcola and that Arsenal were sniffing about?? That was wrong! Then you stated minteh was done subject to a medical?? Again that was wrong! Now we're supposed to believe you when you says this???

30 Aug 2026 20:47:23
Welcome back, DjimiT. Do you have a cloth to wipe that egg off your face?
I honestly thought you'd have a new username by now and tried to pass yourself off as an ITK some other way.
Bless you for trying but please leave the ITK statements to those who actually know.

30 Aug 2026 20:49:41
RM just bought a RW.

30 Aug 2026 20:50:08
Stop lying brudda, if he moves it'll only be to Madrid.

30 Aug 2026 20:55:18
I would like to believe this, but then why would we let Salah leave on a few?

30 Aug 2026 20:59:55
Interesting rumour! Thanks for sharing, DjimiT.

30 Aug 2026 21:13:27
Djimi said Minteh done subject to medical last week. Fail to remember any accurate info from him, in fact. Ignore.

30 Aug 2026 21:27:26
In fairness to DjimiT, who no doubt has been spewing rubbish. Pretty sure he is recycling what one of the itks said earlier in the window, about us being interested in Olise in 2027.
Personally, I don't want Olise.

30 Aug 2026 22:05:13
@MoT, Agree with you, he's ok in a tough league and above average in a mediocre standard league. I think there's better out there.

30 Aug 2026 22:12:19
Forget thinking about Olize next year.

Can the team win the games this year? Top 4 is a must. We were lucky last year getting 5th spot, otherwise it would have been embarrassing.

31 Aug 2026 02:18:46
Guys, let's first qualify for Champions League first. The way City, Arsenal, Chelsea and Manu are playing, we just have that 5th spot to fight for.

30 Aug 2026 18:48:52
Evening Gents

Barcola has completed his medical.

I'd expect an announcement from the club soon.

Cheers.

30 Aug 2026 19:42:44
Just seen a video on Reddit of what appears to be him leaving from a side door of Anfield and waving to a few young fans.
Posted on the Reddit Liverpool FC sub.

30 Aug 2026 20:55:32
Heard anything on the rw position, Robbo. Thanks for the info as always mate. I'd prefer Minteh over Sarr even though he's currently injured. Think we need a few work horses in order to compliment the players we've got.

30 Aug 2026 21:13:38
Thanks, Robbo

Can you tell me who the next target is? Looking at the performance and then the transfer window, it feels a bit frustrating.

30 Aug 2026 22:00:28
I believe at this stage it will be Sarr.

Cheers.

30 Aug 2026 21:57:05
Djimi if you told me the time I'd have to buy a watch! I reckon you're a blue plant constantly spewing misinformation for your own entertainment. Do us all a favour and keep your BS prophesying to yourself 🤷🏼

30 Aug 2026 18:31:05
Lot of talk regarding Neto any truth does anyone know??

30 Aug 2026 19:49:26
Pedro Neto?

30 Aug 2026 19:51:44
With the way he's playing for Chelski, I would love that, but no chance at this stage. Would cost an extortionate amount too.

30 Aug 2026 19:53:49
Chelsea have said they want over £80m for him.

30 Aug 2026 19:56:10
Not Pedro, the Scandinavian kid. Would be good value.

30 Aug 2026 19:58:11
It's ok @Ford, it's the club that pays for new players.

30 Aug 2026 19:58:39
We are letting Bajcetic go on loan here. Does this not leave us very short considering how badly our seniors are playing?

30 Aug 2026 20:24:49
Sarr has requested a transfer apparently, which of him and Minteh will we end up with, or is Neto definitely back in the frame.

30 Aug 2026 21:17:36
How does it leave us short, @inbeta. He hasn't played for the club in years and he's still injured.

30 Aug 2026 21:30:24
Maybe we're aiming to sign both Sarr and Minteh.
