Liverpool Transfer Rumours

20 Mar 2026 17:16:04.
So, Alisson is apparently injured and unavailable against Brighton tomorrow, as well as Brazil's two-week international break.

One of the best keepers I have ever seen in my life, but my word, these injuries.

20 Mar 2026 18:12:01
It's not like they are kept fit, is it?

20 Mar 2026 16:24:54
PSG want Lens to move the game which happens between our tie. Lens manager says he's opposed. Hopefully they still have to play.

20 Mar 2026 16:43:09
They should ask CAF to move it... CAF might actually just award the 3 points to PSG.

20 Mar 2026 12:35:36.
Mo confirmed as out for the Brighton game, hopefully back after the international break.

20 Mar 2026 13:51:11
Don't mind this. He has been very poor this season, and Rio has been excellent every time he has been on the pitch.

We will need Mo's big game experience for the PSG games, however.

20 Mar 2026 15:22:30
Well, after Mo proved that he could be the best option we have to play in that new front 2, he gets injured. We just can't get a break. I believe that was the very first time that lineup played together in that shape.

It would have been nice to get them doing that again consistently. I think, probably, we might rotate a bit, given the quick turnaround. I wonder if we'll see Slot go with that formation again, though.

{Ed001's Note - hardly a break, if they were coached effectively we wouldn't have all these soft tissue injuries, the players simply aren't fit enough. It is not bad luck, it is bad management.}

20 Mar 2026 15:39:29
I don't think he'll rotate much, as it is the last game before the international break, so no need to keep players fresh for next week.
If the other 10 players are still fit (big if based on the season so far), I think that it might be Gakpo in for Salah and keep everything else the same.

20 Mar 2026 16:34:16
Guessing Frimpong for Salah and Dom to RB.

20 Mar 2026 16:44:18
He probably won't even use the same formation... Frimpong back to RW and Szobo to RB.

Normal services to resume.

20 Mar 2026 17:22:09
Unfortunately, JLC, you're probably right.

20 Mar 2026 10:53:07
I've seen us being linked to Luis Suarez today (the Sporting one, not the bitey one).

Presumably all paper talk, as I can't imagine a 28 year old striker is at the top of our list of needs or wants, and certainly not for the £70m being quoted.

20 Mar 2026 12:58:15
Especially when it's about the only area that doesn't need work done in the summer.

20 Mar 2026 13:51:37
Won't happen. The age bracket alone means it's a non-starter; it doesn't suit our model.

20 Mar 2026 14:22:25
The Sporting one, not the bitey one. 😂 👏

20 Mar 2026 09:09:21
Is their anything in the bastoni rumours does anyone know I also know we have been keeping an eye on schlotterbeck it looks like we know what we want in terms of a vvd successor. Which player is better suited to us as both on paper are top drawer

Any thoughts Ed's reds and itks?

20 Mar 2026 11:20:14
It will surely all depend on what is going on with Konate. If he signs a new deal, then we have Virgil, Konate, Jacquet, Leoni and Gomez, which is probably enough CB depth.

Jacquet plays left-sided CB as well, btw, so maybe he is the successor to Virgil, and Leoni, who plays right CB, is the successor to Konate.

We have also invested a lot of money in 17-19 year old CB's.

Mor Talla Ndiaye (18) and Noah Adekoya (19) joined in January. This summer we will also see Ifeanyi Ndukwe (17) join the club.

It honestly would not shock me if Konate signs a new deal and we don't sign any other CB's. We've not spent circa £95m on Jacquet and Leoni for them to not play and be 4th or 5th choice CB's.

20 Mar 2026 11:27:21
Yeh agree. Konate signs, they won't go near CB.

20 Mar 2026 11:45:08
There is also the possibility that Konate and Gomez both leave in the summer, and that Virg might go next summer. At that point, I would expect us to sign a slightly more senior CB like Bastoni or Schlotterbeck this summer, as the heir to Virg, to take the pressure off Leoni and Jacquet, who will both be coming back from serious injuries.

20 Mar 2026 11:54:48
I think if Konate leaves, and we get CL, Schlotterbeck will be the one we will target. Potentially a long-term Van Dijk successor. Though, to be honest, I still think Virgil is better than most centre backs, and can still play for 3-4 years at the top level.

20 Mar 2026 10:27:27
Personally I like Bastoni but ed001 is of the opinion he doesn't want to leave Italy. Not seen the other guy play

20 Mar 2026 13:52:35
Bastoni is an exceptional talent and would be a great addition.

If XA does come in and prefers a back 3, the additional CB cover would be needed.

20 Mar 2026 15:27:51
I watched Bastoni against Bodo in CL. He wasn't that good in both games.
Me saying that, I'm just a van driver. 🤣

20 Mar 2026 15:52:15
I've lost faith in Bastoni too. I don't think he's suited to the PL.

18 Mar 2026 16:37:26
Hi all, love the site. Nice little rumour for you, not sure if there's an ITK who can confirm? My brother's brother-in-law plays golf with 'AC', part of the Aston Villa scout team. As well as Villa, Liverpool have built an extensive player profile on Christos Mouzakitis going back 18 months starting when he was an academy lad.

Only 18, and would be a sale and loan for another yr back if any deal is to be made. As well as Villa and Liverpool, both Milan sides and Madrid are interested.

18 Mar 2026 18:01:08
Wow, looks talented, but hard to judge at the level he's playing, plus YouTube vids could make me look half decent, but I have to say, kind of reminds me of the man I hope is his manager next season, Alonso.

18 Mar 2026 18:20:03
Loves a tackle, this kid. Reminds me of Joao Neves in his style. Very left footed though.

18 Mar 2026 19:02:39
Wow. He looks a talent, to be fair. Hope he stacks up in real life and not just highlights. But that was a good watch.

18 Mar 2026 22:11:11
Golf with Andy Carroll... Crouch and his putter springs to mind.

19 Mar 2026 00:17:59
No idea who this player is, but you had me at 'my brother's brother-in-law'. Top rumouring young man. Still prefer last night's window cleaner, but bravo sir.

19 Mar 2026 02:14:48
Lovely little old school rumour. Now that's what I'm talking about.

19 Mar 2026 06:25:08
A proper rumour, thanks for posting. Hope there is something in this, as he looks talented.

{Ed078's Note - 19 year olds who've represented their country are not that common. His passing ability for his age is impressive.

19 Mar 2026 13:09:49
My brother's brother-in-law. Isn't that also your brother-in-law?

{Ed025's Note - no..

19 Mar 2026 13:20:00
No, your brother's brother-in-law is your husband.

19 Mar 2026 13:54:53
Clearly it's your brother's partner's brother.

19 Mar 2026 20:11:58
Ken Dodd's dad's dog's dead?

{Ed025's Note - died of distemper in December.. :)

19 Mar 2026 20:43:40
Dis temper or dat temper? Never quarrel with a cabbie at Christmas, mate.

19 Mar 2026 23:17:55
Waiting for the chat to get back to normal...

The win last night was a big relief, but, imo, Slot should be removed for not realising the blindingly obvious - playing Dom in midfield and Flo on the left, not Cody, and LFC look like an entirely different proposition.

To me, this has been clear for a long time.

How well-paid professionals can't see something this obvious is a mystery to me.

Touch of the Amorims.

Big question is, will Slot switch it up for Brighton - humble opinion start the same XI - but I expect he'll give Cody *another* chance. We need a run of victories.

20 Mar 2026 02:09:39
What if the brothers were twins. 😉

20 Mar 2026 06:20:25
FSGenius, you can start a new thread without waiting for matters to revert back to your preferences.

17 Mar 2026 21:16:18
Apparently Arne Slot and his agent have been in talks regarding taking over at Ajax next season. Can any of ITKS confirm this?

17 Mar 2026 21:50:40
Indykaika at it again.

17 Mar 2026 21:52:46
Use the search. It's been discussed numerous times.

17 Mar 2026 23:11:20
I heard it's not even for Ajax senior team. It seemed it's for the youth team, where it suits Arne Slot's tinkering style. Tinkering 1 season to get it right is ok for a youth team.

18 Mar 2026 03:04:46
Maybe he can take Gakpo along too?

18 Mar 2026 04:08:35
As posted before by one of the itk, I can't remember which one, but both Spurs and Ajax want him.

18 Mar 2026 09:56:28
If he takes a job in the Netherlands after us, then I think it says a lot about his mentality and priorities. A Liverpool title on his record could get him a big job in any country.

Fair enough if he wants to be with his family. He'll be set for life. But, I think, to manage a team like Liverpool, you need to have a bit more of a ruthless and determined personality.

18 Mar 2026 10:04:39
No idea if there's any truth in it, but generally, if you are a coach that is coming up to the final year of your contract, you might instruct your agent to talk to some clubs about potential roles - whether you are seriously looking or want to put pressure on your current employers to consider renewal.



If the rumours about him already knowing he's a caretaker until the end of the season, his agent will, of course, be looking for the next opportunity. While we all think the Premier League is the best, I would expect the prestige of the Ajax job would be quite the draw for any Dutch manager.

18 Mar 2026 10:22:11
Why is it a bad thing that a Dutchman might want to be with his family in Holland?

18 Mar 2026 11:47:59
I didn't say it was a bad thing for him. Is it a good thing for Liverpool if the manager's priorities are elsewhere?

18 Mar 2026 12:23:10
I posted about this a while back. Not sure if you can search that far back.
But there have certainly been talks, and interest on both sides, and it still remains.

18 Mar 2026 15:07:48
Isn't an ex-Feyenoord manager going to Ajax like an LFC manager going to MUFC? Does it show he has no regard for the fans?

18 Mar 2026 15:43:28
Loyalty and regard. Two-way things.

18 Mar 2026 17:27:50
@livered, I was making a general comment, not replying specifically to you. I also didn't say that his priority, at the moment, isn't Liverpool.

18 Mar 2026 18:01:30
Arne paints his face orange every night, and chants Hup Holland Hup before bed, and always has at least one segment of Edam on his nightstand. It's not true he sleeps in clogs and has a photo of Rutger Hauer above his fireplace, though. Vicious lies, meat to demean our great leader.

19 Mar 2026 01:04:43
If we're sounding out replacements, then I think it's ok that Slot may be looking at his next gig.

19 Mar 2026 03:40:29
Really, though, who doesn't have a prominently displayed picture of Rutger Hauer somewhere in their house?

19 Mar 2026 06:32:47
I have the holy trinity - Hauer, Christopher Timothy and William Gaunt. Every angle covered.

17 Mar 2026 20:05:05
I follow KopTalk on YouTube and an interestingly titled video popped up on my feed so I gave it a watch. According to Dunc, a source who has given him reliable information in the past has tipped him off that Slot and his agent have been summoned to a high level meeting by the club for 10:30 on Friday. No other details were given.

Provided this is true, this can realistically mean one of three things:

A) The club will inform him that they are not offering him a new contract and they plan to terminate his existing contract at the end of the season.


B) The club will inform him that they are not offering him a new contract and they will terminate his contract at the international break.
C) The club wish to open negotiations over a new contract.

What it almost certainly means is that we are stuck with him until the international break. There will be no immediate firing after Galatasaray but I think most of us already suspected that.

17 Mar 2026 20:41:09
Don't listen to that guy, he's absolutely full of air.

17 Mar 2026 20:50:40
I'm gone past defending him, and I realise he's more than likely gone in the summer. But I have to say I'm always amazed at phrases like we're stuck with him. The bloke has won two leagues and a cup in the previous three seasons, and got to another final, but lost. 😆

17 Mar 2026 20:54:23
A bit like most of the "ITK" on here then! Dunc has a proven track record of providing decent info for years, pal.

17 Mar 2026 20:54:47
You'd be better off listening to a random window cleaner.

17 Mar 2026 20:57:04
Option C incoming.

17 Mar 2026 21:04:05
Florian, who cares what he achieved in Dutch football? Every Dutch manager who comes to England ends up stinking and his achievements at Feyenoord are of no relevance to us. I don't think "stuck with him" is below the belt at all seeing as his tactics and coaching (or more pertinently lack of) are the main reasons we will miss out on the Champions League places this year.

17 Mar 2026 21:55:28
I couldn't care less what he's done in previous seasons. I care what he's doing in the present, and he's done/doing zilch.

17 Mar 2026 22:37:19
Expecting the meeting to get cancelled for some unforeseen scenario.

Sorry, I don't believe Dunk has any sources.

17 Mar 2026 22:53:29
Florian says he's given up defending the bloke, then tries to defend him! Wow. Ha ha.

18 Mar 2026 07:26:35
Stopped watching lop talk after a few videos, the bloke is a proper
🔔end

18 Mar 2026 07:59:26
Babbity, he said two leagues, including the Premier League. Maybe you don't care about what he did in Holland, but he did win the Prem.

18 Mar 2026 08:34:09
I find it hard to not support Slot. He helped the team win us the Premier League last season, before Easter.
That showed me if you give him the right tools he is capable of doing a good job. And before the haters bring out the "but his football is s***" statement. What Premier League team is playing attacking, free flowing football?
I am old and have been watching The Reds through the Keegan, Hughes, Dalglish, Souness, Rush and Molby, Barnes and Beardsley good times. Through the something is missing 90s, the getting nearer noughties to finally Klopp's got me believing bums off seats era.
Klopp would have won us the title last season if he didn't leave. I honestly believe that, but not as head coach.
This season has been a hard watch, but I blame the two who are making the decisions and Slot isn't one of them, and when the players know that the coach is just a coach and start organising meetings themselves to fix things, the writing is on the wall.
Jota dying is not an excuse, it was a sad interruption to the season and also a main part of our pressing forward line disappearing.


I know that if we give Slot the right tools and a bit of time he can win us the league again. Why? Because he has proved he can.
I don't like the way he is being singled out for the decline of Salah and Virgil. He said at the start of the season he was left short of what he was promised, but it was still good enough to challenge, and he wasn't to know that two of his defenders and the most expensive signing would miss most of the season.
He does make mistakes, and his failure to trust certain young players and Chiesa to replace underperforming players is one of them. The constant moving positions of his best performing players from match to match is another.
FSG will make the right decision for themselves; if Slot goes, so should Hughes and Edwards.
I was brought up believing in continuity: if it works, keep it. Slot's coaching has won us the league. Hughes' direction hasn't.

18 Mar 2026 08:56:46
We always hear the 'if Slot had his way' or 'the new signings were not his choice'. Yet Wirtz has come out and said it was Slot who convinced him to join with his Slot Vision of football.

Also, correct me if i'm wrong Ed001 but you told us Slot really wanted Isak to be signed.
So our two biggest acquisitions of the summer were Slots choices.

{Ed001's Note - that is correct mate.}

18 Mar 2026 09:45:36
Where did I say Slot didn't want the signings he got? I said there were players he asked for that he didn't get.
Let's judge Isak and Wirtz when they start playing together after an undisturbed pre-season.


You want him gone, fine, but you don't have to bring other people's opinions to argue against my post.
I said he has got a lot of things wrong. I didn't mention the signings the club made. Have a nice day.

18 Mar 2026 10:00:46
Its true, Brentford, Bournemouth, Leeds, Sunderland, and Man City are playing decent football, even Wolves are playing decent football.
So unfair to tar every team with the same brush, mate.

The worst football to watch: Arsenal, Liverpool.

18 Mar 2026 10:24:21
@Babbity, Option 4, the club agree to let him work out his contract for the 26/27 season.

18 Mar 2026 10:47:53
I do not agree. They play to their strengths, but what is decent football.
We have played some good games this season, but not consistently.
The players we pay to put the ball in the net are not taking their chances, or are not available. And we are losing points at the end of the games because we are short in defense, availability, lack of trust, not enough heart. I don't know, but Slot has tried everything at his disposal and it hasn't worked.

I am just saying you need the players on board, and when you are relying on players who see their future away from the club, you are under pressure to win every game.
Let's get one thing straight, I don't agree with everything he has done. I still think with the players on form he can still win things for us.

18 Mar 2026 11:33:47
MynameisB, if the players are getting so many days off, then Slot clearly hasn't tried everything at his disposal.

18 Mar 2026 11:34:10
Brentford, Bournemouth, Leeds, Sunderland, City, and Wolves are playing good football?! Wolves are playing better than they did before, but to say they are playing objectively 'good football'? Brentford? Bournemouth can be great to watch at times, but more often than not when I watch them they are participating in 0-0 and 1-1 draws. Sunderland have tailed off, and were knocked out by Port Vale in the FA Cup.

City blow hot and cold, have been absolutely tepid in several games recently, and are extremely reliant on Haaland for goals. Brentford and Sunderland were recently comfortably beaten by Brighton, whom we have had no problems outplaying this season.

Are you certain you have been watching those teams consistently? I admit that I haven't, but when I have, none of these teams are incredibly impressive to me.

18 Mar 2026 13:06:31
When I see the value Eze brings vs Wirtz, what a load of wasted $ we spent on Wirtz.

18 Mar 2026 14:00:32
Now we want players to play 3 times a week and train every day? Maybe the odd day off when we are not playing 3 games a week or on international duty is one of the things he's tried.

18 Mar 2026 16:56:47
The only difference between Dunc and the clown who does the Anfield Agenda is Dunc occasionally speaks sense. If either of them is your source, you may as well go on X and take the heathens on there as gospel.

{Ed001's Note - what's Anfield Agenda? I have never heard of that.}

18 Mar 2026 18:27:23
Some absolute weapon who does news, rumours and match coverage on youtube Ed1. Be glad you don't know who he is 😂

{Ed001's Note - ah ok. I will not bother if I ever do see him.}

18 Mar 2026 19:42:19
He's actually not afraid to say his opinions and can back them up. He is a passionate fan and isn't afraid to speak out on how bad the football currently is. AA is worth a watch.

18 Mar 2026 23:27:43
AA is a toxic platform, like aftv the guy has mental health issues starts crying on live stream.

19 Mar 2026 06:33:10
Option 5. As a senior figure at the club, he has been asked to attend the meeting about something totally different. Or option 6. There is no meeting and this is clickbait nonsense.

19 Mar 2026 12:25:40
Both those channels are awful sources of news.

Koptalk has been known to be a total liar for years.

Anfield agenda is just a random fan who makes rubbish up and cries on his live streams, he's basically the mark goldridge of LFC fans

17 Mar 2026 16:27:46
Direct from horse’s mouth - I am a window cleaner in Formby and have been doing one of the lad’s houses for the last 3 yrs.

Anyway we got chatting when the windows were done yday afternoon. Slot has always said to the team and the powers that be that his side is built for the Champions League.

Because of the huge £££££ they don’t want an inexperienced interim instead as they don’t think any of them will deliver the big one.



The player said the lads are all confident we make it through in which case he’ll still be here.

All the eggs are in the CL basket.

A few of the suits think we have no chance. A couple agree the team are more suited to the European footy.

If we limp out tomorrow, it’s game over for Arne and Stevie G is in.

Nice one.

17 Mar 2026 16:41:36
A proper old-school rumour, but absolute nonsense nonetheless.

17 Mar 2026 16:44:44
I reckon we go for Chamois Alonso... what a great putty player.... just different glass.... By the way, are you a spy for the Glazers. 🤔

17 Mar 2026 16:45:10
It's been said on here many times that our team is better suited to European football. Unfortunately, even if we overturn the first leg deficit and make it through, there is no chance whatsoever that we even come close to beating PSG without a big change in the way we play.

17 Mar 2026 16:47:25
Am I the only one left here not in ITK?

17 Mar 2026 17:00:19
I was told by a good source that you are the one and only funky.

17 Mar 2026 17:00:39
Beaten by Galatasaray twice and hammered by PSV at home. Yep, built for the CL, alright.

17 Mar 2026 17:32:18
The owners need their windows cleaning if they took the word of that fraud. We've been hit and miss in it all season.

17 Mar 2026 17:38:56
Eh, hello. Seriously, lads, this is a window cleaner rumour. There are no better ITKs than window cleaners. It's been too long since we had a bona fide window cleaner rumour. Please, for the love of all things trivial, let's have some respect for this nugget. Well done @cleansheets.

17 Mar 2026 17:31:40
FFS Funky, you have a day to be ITK or leave. with Slot!

17 Mar 2026 18:37:07
Man, gotta love a good old style rumour! Thanks, buddy.

17 Mar 2026 18:39:49
A window cleaner from Formby?
Are you called George, by any chance, and own a banjo?

17 Mar 2026 18:52:33
Bring back Benitez for the interim.

17 Mar 2026 19:07:09
We are not built for Champions League over the league at all, that's Jamie Carragher nonsense. We have played the midfield that started last season strong in loads of games, Mac Grave and Sobs, and they don't cover the ground anymore because of fitness levels.
The reason we have had better results in the Champions League is because the levels in there are awful, that's why Spurs look like they are going to get relegated but finished 4th in the Champions League.

But now it is the business end, and the best teams are left. If we get through against a very, very poor defending Galatasaray, we won't go anywhere more because PSG will destroy us more than they did last season, because we are so much worse than this time last season.

17 Mar 2026 19:08:42
So built for Europe that we limped out to PSG last year, and have been put to the sword three times already in this season's competition. The way we're playing, we're not going to last much longer in the tournament. Can't see us getting past Galatasaray, as they already have the measure of us and we had nothing to offer against them.

17 Mar 2026 19:43:18
Limped out on peno's to the eventual champions. Where are the words?

17 Mar 2026 19:46:55
You're not the window cleaner who used to do Tony Cottee's windows, are ya. 😅

17 Mar 2026 19:53:24
Florian we were dominated by PSG last season Villa gave them a better game sometimes the result doesn't paint the full picture.
Stop making yourself look foolish.

17 Mar 2026 20:15:54
Ah, yes, the great 'I'm a high class window cleaner... Clint Dempsey is nailed on because he had a screensaver of the Wirral on his computer... I saw it with my own eyes.'

17 Mar 2026 20:54:09
Grino, absolutely nailed it. PSG could have battered us by 3 or 4 goals in either leg.

And yes, Florian, we limped out.

As for the penalties, two of the worst penalty misses I've ever seen a Liverpool player make, both absolute brainless efforts, thinking they could beat a keeper of that quality. Jones should be banned from ever taking another penalty for the club.

17 Mar 2026 22:01:09
Building ur team for the Champions League, and not ur bread and butter, deserves the sack, especially when they're not even fit enough to clean windows.

17 Mar 2026 22:11:52
10/10 for the proper old school rumour!
