Liverpool Transfer Rumours

25 Mar 2026 19:55:08
Well people say David Ornstien is the man who knows everything from Liverpool FC and he's just reported on his podcast Slot definitely stays for next season, apparently Liverpool FC will back him all the way he states Arne Slot has the full backing of the board and owners. The merry go rounds goes on. 🤔

25 Mar 2026 20:01:18
Next season written off too then.

25 Mar 2026 18:47:02
Top news Carra.
Any real interest in Olise?
I would personally love to see this lad join us but can’t help but feel it’s unrealistic and his cost would be astronomical.

25 Mar 2026 19:40:21
Just read Bayerm Space's post. It certainly seems we have concrete interest from what they're saying...we'll see how it plays out. They were right about Wirtz, maybe it'll be 2 from 2?

25 Mar 2026 17:35:00
Ed1,
I've not seen anyone ask your opinion re the manager situation. I'm shocked! I consider you an ITK! i'm sure you love the term lol.

All jokes aside, I do value your info, been spot on for years with lots of stuff.
So I just wanted to ask if you've heard anything with Xabi coming in etc.
Few different journalists reporting from different countries in the last day or two, similar stories, which I think always make a story have more substance: maybe it has legs.

Have you heard anything?

Thanks in advance.

{Ed001's Note - all I have heard is Slot continuing until the end of the season, unless results absolutely nosedive, but then he is expected to go. Xabi is 1st choice, like he was before Slot, to come in.}

25 Mar 2026 18:32:12
With Salah's contract cancelling by mutual consent, I assume he will walk away on a free.
I also remember that the club were advised not to offer him a large 2 year contract.
Who makes these decisions and how are they still in a job?

25 Mar 2026 18:53:14
It was the right decision at the time, after the season he had, it would have been madness to cut ties. Unfortunately not every decision works out.

25 Mar 2026 18:53:24
The same people who won't relieve the current manager of his duties.

25 Mar 2026 19:00:55
Lots of hindsight geniuses popping up, a year ago, the majority of the fanbase were freaking out because he hadn't signed a new contract.

25 Mar 2026 19:04:17
Yeah it's a negotiation.
I'm sure we did try and get him on a 1yr contract or even a 1yr rolling contract.

However, Salah's form in the first half of last season created a very strong negotiating position.
He forced our hand. He deserved it.

25 Mar 2026 19:14:34
In all fairness, how do you not secure a player who just had a record breaking title winning season? Can you imagine the backlash if we let Salah walk after last year? 46 g/a.

All the cards were stacked in his favour, every last one. It was less of a negotiation and more like a list of demands, all we could do was say yes or no, and no, really wasn't an option.

25 Mar 2026 19:16:07
Not a hindsight geniuses, ArnieJ, just my opinion as a fan of 50 years as I'm not paid hundreds of thousands pounds a year to make these decisions.

25 Mar 2026 19:18:14
It's a business. MO's contract extension reflected his value to the club at the time. Things change and his value to the club has diminished. Apart from anything else, he has been nothing short of world class for the decade he has been at the club. He owes nothing to the club.

{Ed025's Note - did he not get paid (very handsomely) for playing for those 9 years WDW?, i believed that he was signing a new deal last year on a mind boggling £400k a week plus bonuses to protect his value if he was to be sold before its termination mate?..or am i wrong?

25 Mar 2026 16:37:43.
Hi Diddly Ho,

I asked my source about where Mo may go. Roma and Galatasaray are real options.

Not to say it will be one of the two clubs but I remember being told a few months ago Saudi wasn’t really an option.



There’s a couple of MLS teams that have put a package together, but I’ve not been told who.

If I get any updates I’ll be sure to pass on. May have something this weekend as I’m going to an event with my source.

Diddly out.

25 Mar 2026 18:16:38
Great goss. Cheers m8. Gets me pumping.

Thank you.

25 Mar 2026 18:17:36
Swap with Yilmaz - in terms of place in squad.

25 Mar 2026 18:25:33
Yes to Yilmaz. Seen plenty of him in Turkey. He's brighter than my Bobby Firmino teef.

I mean, teeth.

25 Mar 2026 15:50:29
Bayern Space are reporting news coming today at 6pm.

Also, Hesse was apparently the first to confirm Wirtz transfer, so the Xabi news may well be accurate.

25 Mar 2026 16:48:35
Why is it always 6pm? Also, if it is Bayern Space, is that actually 5pm UK time?

25 Mar 2026 17:22:28
Still waiting on the news he teased a couple of days ago.

25 Mar 2026 17:24:22
How do people keep falling for these? Desperate and gullible, I guess.

25 Mar 2026 17:44:59
Apparently Alonso is just waiting on a concrete offer from Liverpool.

For the love of God, just contact a quarry and get his driveway done already.

25 Mar 2026 18:21:17
I'm sure they're just a bit confused,
News coming out at six,
We also have news at ten!
But you can get rolling news 24 hrs a day.

25 Mar 2026 18:34:57
Checked it. Apparently Michael Olise has a release clause and Liverpool in concrete talks.

25 Mar 2026 18:50:02
Concrete talks, sounds solid.

On a like for like, Diomande is more of a Salah replacement, but as someone else has said, it depends on how the new manager wants to set us up.

If, as I hope, it is Alonso, he will have had a long hard look at Olise from his time in Germany, albeit Diomande only broke through this season.

25 Mar 2026 19:21:41
Multiple sources reporting that Bayern's Head of Sport has stated Olise doesn't have a release clause, and they won't even be considering offers come summer. Is this legit, or is he waffling about the release clause part and just trying to deter? Can anybody shed some light on this?

25 Mar 2026 13:10:14
German sources (BILD) have stated Slot will leave in the summer, to be replaced by Xabi Alonso.
Just copied from Twitter - I'm no ITK!

25 Mar 2026 13:35:02
Yup, heard that Axel Hesse (the journo who reported it) is one of the most reliable journalists for Leverkusen, and was close to Alonso and his circle during his time there. Fingers crossed...

25 Mar 2026 14:49:52
Finally some good news.

25 Mar 2026 15:07:43
I believe he almost certainly went to Real to get it out of his system before joining Liverpool, knowing he'd have more time and stability in England, and then not having Real knocking on the door after a year or two. Not that he necessarily expected it to be as soon, however....

25 Mar 2026 15:11:26
According to the mirror here, slot is staying in which case we are finished.

25 Mar 2026 17:03:42
The Mirror???

25 Mar 2026 18:01:07
I'd like to thank the club for allowing Slot to destroy our season.

25 Mar 2026 18:17:54
I am hot and hard for this. Like a Murray Mint left out in the sun.

Pride.

25 Mar 2026 12:41:46
According to Football365 (no idea on reliability), Liverpool are in "advanced talks" with Xabi Alonso to take over from Slot.

If agreed it will be done during the international break.

25 Mar 2026 18:19:07
Top goss. Ta.

25 Mar 2026 13:03:41
I keep getting asked the same thing over and over and over about Slot.

Bookmark this, stick it on your fridge this is my information and that is final.

Slot was told months ago his position at Liverpool was virtually done.

His family arrangements haven't helped, discussions over a termination went amicable and Slot was happy to work on until the summer.

Edwards spoke to Fabregas in Como, nothing came of it.

Luis Enrqique's agent spoke with Liverpool, very difficult as he's invested into the project at PSG. Would love to manage LFC in the future

Talks with Gerrard went positive regarding a interim role, club decided to stick with Slot. Gerrard is there if FSG change their minds.

Hoeness is very well regarded and could be considered. I would think as a second option to Alonso. Would jump at the chance to manage LFC

Xabi Alonso though is and always has been the main candidate, wants the job and will most likely get it this summer.

If Slot wins a Champions league does it change things? This is a two way street and Slot seems happy to go back home. I personally don't see that changing things but you never know.

The conclusion - Slot leaves this summer Xabi Alonso joins LFC.

Ta.

25 Mar 2026 13:11:52
Nice one, Carra. 🙏

25 Mar 2026 13:15:34
Nice summary, Carra.

Hopefully we do win the Champions League.

25 Mar 2026 13:17:05
Thanks, Carra...

You are the best 👌 👍

Also... will Slot be here after this International break????

25 Mar 2026 13:17:26
Thanks, Carra.

25 Mar 2026 13:17:37
Top top man, Carra.
Thank you! This season can't end quick enough.

25 Mar 2026 13:28:15
Just hypothetically speaking, what are people's thoughts on Gerrard being an assistant/coach with Alonso?

25 Mar 2026 13:32:03
Cheers, Carra

At least that's put to bed now.

25 Mar 2026 13:32:24
But what about Slot???? Just kidding 😉 Thanks, as always, Carra. I'd be very happy with Hoeness, looks like the closest thing to a reincarnation of Klopp. Ynwa.

25 Mar 2026 13:33:47
Don't think he'd take it, Willo.
Has been said many times on here that he wants to be no.1.

25 Mar 2026 13:35:09
Thanks, Carra. I would be inclined to agree with your prediction as the most likely scenario.

I don't believe Slot wants to be here next season even if he wasn't sacked.

The bigger question now is what is happening upstairs given the recent announcement that they have paused the multi-club strategy.

25 Mar 2026 13:32:03
Maybe one of the Eds can book mark this a la fatwallet we won't sign isak. he he

Thx carra

Can't wait for the floods of RTFP that will ensue.

25 Mar 2026 13:35:54
Willo, that would be my dream ticket. I think Ed001 has said on occasions in the past that Stevie is a very good coach (as shown by his stint here with the youth teams) but not a good manager. We obviously know all about Stevie's passion, especially for this club.

Not sure if it will happen, Stevie would have to swallow his pride3 a bit having managed teams before, but I think the two of them could boss the team as they used to boss midfield.

Add Milner to that, and that would be a return to the bootroom, imho.

25 Mar 2026 13:38:52
Thanks, Carra. Gutted he is going to be here till the summer.
Wisp, I would like Gerrard as part of Alonso team because no matter what people think about him he has an aura about him that would make bringing players here even more attractive because he is without doubt one of the very best players to have played in the Premier League.

25 Mar 2026 13:46:31
Thanks Carra, it's a very regrettable decision by Edwards. We are lumbered with a manager who couldn't be arsed until the end of the season. That's going to cost us CL football next season, in my opinion.

25 Mar 2026 13:51:10
You've cleared everything up, Carra, apart from the big question that you keep dodging.

Who is the window cleaner from Formby?

25 Mar 2026 13:51:32
Great info. Much appreciated. 🇮🇪

25 Mar 2026 13:54:19
Gerrard Milner and Alonso .... Nice thinking. My heart likes the idea of a return to the Boot Room...

Wouldn't mind a Lallana to that too.. (think he's taking badges).

Hah, bring back God too ..

Just imagine if he could pass on even half what he knows about scoring goals ..... What a coaching line up .. If we do rubbish .. we can just sub them all on ...

25 Mar 2026 14:05:53
Zedd & Mighty, yeah, adding Milner into the equation would be incredible - we can but dream!

25 Mar 2026 14:07:53
Carra getting this printed on my fridge magnets! lol.
There is no doubting Carra is ITK and one of the most reliable on here. He stated Salah would be off months ago, and here we are.

Thanks, Carra, we appreciate the info, all looking good.

PS, Enrique would be keen to manage LFC in the future - the future looks bright compared to this bleak season!

25 Mar 2026 14:56:54
Honestly, some people just need to chill out. Every week it's the same tripe over and over.

It will be the same when Xabi goes through a rough patch, the same people will be out in force, demanding that Carra or whoever gives them good information that aligns with their own narrative.

25 Mar 2026 15:10:57
Cheers, Carra. What's the latest on Slot? Wink wink.

25 Mar 2026 15:16:02
Willo, I would love Stevie to be on the bench with Alonso, but even if he got offered a role, I think he's too obnoxious to be 2nd fiddle.

25 Mar 2026 15:29:16
I'm a firm believer that a manager (don't agree with Head Coaches) should select their own backroom team, and I'm certain that's what will happen.

You need someone who is going to implement your system and keep the players focussed on the manager's plans.



Someone with their own ideas will only complicate matters. An assistant needs to be humble. Not sure it's Gerrard's gig, if I'm honest.

{Ed025's Note - hes as humble as Joey Barton Ron.. :)

25 Mar 2026 15:53:44
Carra, it's only a bar fridge but it's all yours. Cheers.

25 Mar 2026 17:02:43
Fully agree with you, Ron. Alonso will bring his own crew. And rightly so.

25 Mar 2026 17:17:41
Get Alonso in, get Olisse for rw and Diomande for left, and a bloody good dm with steel. Need a rb probably too. Need to clear out a few too, Mac, Konate, Curtis and Gomez should all be considered. If rumours true, Gakpo wants to go even better.

25 Mar 2026 18:03:20
Thanks for the info, Carra, as always. If you can feedback to the club, tell them they've destroyed our season and negligible for allowing this season to unravel just because they don't like "interims".

25 Mar 2026 18:22:15
Bob Hoeness, I'll have a YNWA please. We'll be on a gold run with him. Sporting Sebs are always winners. Seb Coe, Seb Vettel. Boom. Here we go.

25 Mar 2026 19:37:31
So @Carra, my £10 bet on Hodgson is highly likely a non starter.
