Liverpool Rumours 2

24 Jul 2026 22:14:47
Lots of domino’s have to drop before significant incomings are made.

It could be the case that one drops, we could see several arrive.

Ta.

24 Jul 2026 22:45:34
Thanks Carra mate.

24 Jul 2026 22:46:23
Agreed. Ta, Carra.

24 Jul 2026 22:49:47
Cheers, Carra.

Is that code for we wait for PSG, Real, City and Chelsea to get whoever they want and then we pick up the scraps? :)

24 Jul 2026 22:51:38
Carra, those dominoes within our own club or others?

24 Jul 2026 22:53:27
Looking bleak for the understaffed Reds.

24 Jul 2026 22:56:20
No chance, that would mean spending money!

24 Jul 2026 22:57:26
@Lovely Cushioned Header,

...For Geeerrrraaaaaaaarrrrrrrrd...

24 Jul 2026 23:02:51
Fact we need dominos to fall when Frimpong (who I don't class as a professional footballer) is our only fit right back, we have 2 fit CBs, a Kerkez injury away from playing Tsimikas at LB, and one attacking injury away from playing Chiesa RW is just absolutely absurd. Awful planning by the so called smartest men in the room.

24 Jul 2026 23:12:45
We are playing dominoes and everyone else is playing chess.

24 Jul 2026 23:24:47
No idea what that means but cheers for the information, Carra.

24 Jul 2026 23:43:33
I've ordered a Dominoes pizza. Will chuck it out the window when it arrives.

I'm expecting a new signing now.

25 Jul 2026 00:21:56
Thanks, Carra.

Makes me think of Domino Run!

25 Jul 2026 00:41:49
If Diomande does end up at Real Madrid, I would really like us pivot to Endrick rather than Rayan, given the sample size is larger. The fee I'd expect would be maybe a bit lower, and he's got faster feet and better ball striking. Could also play 9, ss, and rw, and under a good coach like Iraola could really develop.

25 Jul 2026 00:41:57
@Longthing, we spent half a billion in last summer's window - did you miss that?

25 Jul 2026 00:45:53
Isn't that pretty common practice, Carra, as surely you can't buy a player if you need a particular player sold and that wasn't happening.

25 Jul 2026 01:16:40
Carra, for one position, I see how the Dominos have to drop, but how come for multiple incomings?

25 Jul 2026 03:20:07
I hope Eric Clapton isn't reading this .he's the last one left!

25 Jul 2026 07:21:33
Cheers, Carra.

25 Jul 2026 07:57:52
Could be Fats Domino and we may all be thinking Ain't that a shame, if things don't go to plan.

25 Jul 2026 08:35:21
Cheers, Carra.

25 Jul 2026 09:48:02
Nice one, Carra.

24 Jul 2026 22:13:16
Reds,

Well, well, well, Madrid have entered the Yan Diomande race…

We left the chat in June as I mentioned.

24 Jul 2026 22:11:33
Now Real Madrid have bid for Diomande, Ornstein has represented it. It just feels like Rocknation are flaunting the kid to any suitors and RBL are not accepting the lowball price.

Wonder why PSG walked away!

24 Jul 2026 23:19:36
PSG seem to know what they're doing these days so take it as a sign.

24 Jul 2026 22:07:50
Hi. Created an account to post this because genuinely have some news. LFC fan who lives and works in Paris. Barcola deal already agreed with PSG. PSG can’t admit fee agreed publicly now for Barcola because will risk Leipzig’s right to negotiate more for Diomande. Simply put. As soon as you see Diomande to PSG here we go.

Barcola here we go to LFC will be next day.

Deal is apparently very good as Barcola pushed for move hard. They intend to use their deal for Barcola as a benchmark when talking to other clubs for their next targets, hence why not many links and bids announced.

24 Jul 2026 22:47:47
Shame Diomande now will be going to Madrid.

24 Jul 2026 23:59:07
Yep, Anfield Watch said it, so it must be true.

25 Jul 2026 00:29:09
No, Fabrizio Romano, Ornstein and the lot said it. Nice try tho, Zeddicus. Go on and keep believing that Diomande will be ours if that helps you sleep at night.

25 Jul 2026 08:20:30
Pulv, a genuine question, mate, how long have you been supporting LFC?

24 Jul 2026 21:53:03
Becoming more likely Real Madrid sign Rodri this summer, even with potential surgery.

Subsequently, Liverpool potentially revisiting offer for Tchouaméni who RM would consider selling for the right price.

24 Jul 2026 22:05:13
Not a huge fan of Tchouameni. Also, didn't he initiate the fight with Valverde last season?

24 Jul 2026 22:12:57
Both were fined 500k Euros @MKS, so I would say 6 of 1, half a dozen the other.

24 Jul 2026 22:21:53
Ornstein just reported that Real Madrid have entered the Diomande chat.

RBL likely to get the auction they wanted.

24 Jul 2026 22:26:12
Is Diomande on a free now?

24 Jul 2026 22:27:29
I mean, we all said we wanted more fight in our team.

Should have perhaps used better words.

Be careful what you wish for, and all that.

24 Jul 2026 22:30:28
Hope we steer well clear of both Diomande and Tchoumeni personally.

Rayan and Wharton would be my choices.

24 Jul 2026 22:31:18
Touch you thing is vastly overrated. Hope we are so stupid.

24 Jul 2026 22:37:30
I don't know much about these things, but is it possible Diomande's agents are trying to speed up a move by leaking false Madrid stories?

24 Jul 2026 22:39:31
Sometimes touching your thing can be quite enjoyable, Mark.

24 Jul 2026 22:43:24
We still signing Diomande, John Barnes, lol.

24 Jul 2026 23:05:50
Tchouameni is bang average. Wouldn't wanna go near him tbh as desperate as I am for signings.

24 Jul 2026 23:23:31
Tchouameni (spelling?) is very unpopular within the Madrid dressing room and hierarchy. He's very available but I'm not sure we should be going for him. He's got United or Chelsea written all over him in my opinion, not that I think he will go there, but that those are the clubs who usually buy players with both physical and team problems.

24 Jul 2026 23:44:03
As with everything, Origi83, football changes extremely quickly. RM weren't even in the race a couple of days ago. Do you now understand?

There are no concrete guarantees in football.

However, to answer your question, yes, he's still coming to Liverpool.

25 Jul 2026 00:10:16
I'd rather Kone over Tchouameni.

He was excellent in the WC.

25 Jul 2026 00:57:11
@Mark, do you want to have another go at your post? How stupid do you think we are?

25 Jul 2026 08:38:57
Madrid should've mentioned that they're only signing Diamande when his contract expires with us or PSG, it's the important bit that the journos missed out.

25 Jul 2026 10:44:36
If Real Madrid are after him there won't be an auction.

24 Jul 2026 19:40:20
Haha first time poster to, thought I might as well come out the wild work after a few years of reading and never really took anything gospel in here but there are a few good ones I take note of now.

Tacky 🙈🤣 I sort of see where he’s coming from. I’ve been a reader for a few years now, but even I must admit lately the amount of people that talk like they actually know stuff has really crept up on here. Not saying he’s right or wrong tbf; there is not right or wrong answer, just an opinion, but I see both sides so I’m not gonna just on the band wagon when we’re all welcome to point an opinion across — it’s the whole point t of the site.

Anyway loved the Konsa rumour, unfortunately my uncles a brummy god knows how he got in the family with that god awful accent however he’s mentioned Konsa will be off and Liverpool would be his bet fit but then I also wouldn’t want the club paying 80m if that’s the rate for his age and let’s face it he’s no VVD but I am living in the past and fees do increase.



Anyone know what the crack is with this PSG player that was a done deal but now Liverpool looking at him or we just playing a seriously dangerous game with a club that let’s face it has more financial backing than us.


Lastly for my own rumour that’s come from a mate who’s someone close to Harvey Barnes at Newcastle. Lewis Hall is being looked at by Liverpool however I don’t see it myself, to high of a fee and would knock Kerkez as back up in my opining which I don’t think the club will do as he started to look like the player he was at Bournemouth towards the back end of the season.

As Carra would say

Ta

24 Jul 2026 20:03:23
Welcome. I think Tacky's post came across as extremely self-entitled, demanding that the whole forum be subject to his wishes.

It is a rumours site, so there will always be some mad stuff here. But, in the decade or so I have been on here, there are 4-5 posters who have been far ahead of the press: Macca, Carra, Robbo, Ned etc.

It is not their job to be accurate. The reason journalists like, for example, Ornstein, are often so late to break news is because they live by the journalist's rule that you need at least two sources before running a story.



These guys have single sources, or are just brilliant at analysing what might happen, so they break stories unfiltered.

This makes this the best forum around. Yes, some random posters like to pretend they are official - but their pompous faux journalistic prose is an easy to read tell. Easily ignored.

24 Jul 2026 20:19:23
I think if Robbo gets Diomande right after everyone, and I mean everyone, was on the PSG band wagon and a lot on here not calling him but saying he's wrong etc. needs knighting. Who needs Ornstein and Romano, there s*** anyway when we got Robbo.

Oh Andy Andy. 👀👀👀

24 Jul 2026 20:19:56
Souness. Maybe thefields is the other one.

OP, Appreciate the post and the tone of it m8.

24 Jul 2026 20:21:43
I am not saying there is anything wrong with this Tacky/Leebo, but we can spot a wind up a mile off.

24 Jul 2026 20:27:01
I think the key thing to remember here is that it's not that serious. If you don't like it, don't come on here. It's football. It's fun. If people have info that's great, but if they're lying, who cares. This website, it's great, and always great to read.

24 Jul 2026 20:20:45
I don't know if there is a way of checking but I am pretty sure that Leebo1983 is just tacky posting from a new account. Didn't Tacky also have 1983 at the end of his/her name?

24 Jul 2026 20:30:30
Far from on the wind up me, mate. Just call it how I see it tbf, I love the site, love the different rumours. I'm not fully against what Tacky said, makes some sense, maybe he's just worded it wrong, but I love wali g up in the morning to see that someone had put next lol and gets me excited when I see one of the itks, well the ones I would class as that.

24 Jul 2026 20:31:32
Honestly I wish the rumors were fun again. Back in the early 2010's we used to get great stuff like "my mate's a bus driver and saw Ronaldinho getting on the number 5". Some rumors can be fun, they don't all need to be real.

24 Jul 2026 20:32:23
I was born in 1983, Inbeta, lol if I was do you really think I'd be that stupid to use something like that lol good fishing though. 🤣

24 Jul 2026 21:36:21
Inbeta1989, agreed, I'm not buying this at all.

24 Jul 2026 22:39:54
Lol. Just a bit of banter, mate. But I've got my eye on you, and tacky for that matter.

24 Jul 2026 23:11:37
Absolutely guarantee that's the same poster as Tacky @inbeta1989.

24 Jul 2026 15:54:44.
Hi all,

Seeing some posts lately, I would advise one word and one word only - patience.

Barcola will almost certainly (nothing's a guarantee in football) be a Liverpool player as I have maintained since before the season even came to an end. He has been long admired. He wants us and PSG are happy to move him on.



The club want him as soon as humanly possible to get as much pre-season time in. His being on holiday makes no difference.

There are a number of deals in the grape vine with Wharton talks still ongoing. The next week or so should see some heavy movement if all goes to plan.

24 Jul 2026 16:07:47
Cheers, Vg... It's patience that some of these whipper snappers seem to lack.

I'll be happy whatever we do. I'm more interested to see how Iraola can improve us.

24 Jul 2026 16:14:46
It's not just the whipper snappers, 2Shoes, I'm old enough to have watched John Barnes at his best and I'm running out of patience. Who knows how many years we have on this earth, I don't want to spend another season of Szoboszlai at right back and a front three of Rio, Gakpo, and Frimpong.

24 Jul 2026 16:16:16
Had an image of Barcole negotiating from his sunbed while on holiday. 😀

Thanks for the info!

24 Jul 2026 16:19:15
Thanks, VG. Appreciate it as always.

24 Jul 2026 16:18:19
Victor thanks for the update mate, do you have any intel on the plans for RB if there is any?
I think it's next priority after the wingers.
Aldo reports on Gakpo to Germany today with both Bayern and Dortmund interested do you know if that's true or not?

24 Jul 2026 16:39:50
Let's hope that a lot of work has happened in the background on multiple targets. With all the crazy prices and multiple positions we need to strengthen, there must be a lot of moving parts.

At a minimum, I hope we bring in starters at right wing, new double pivot and right back.

Also, need a centre back as cover. Anything else will depend on departures.

We also need to get rid of some deadwood and make space for better players to come in.

24 Jul 2026 16:42:33
Thanks Victor, hope you're doing good.

24 Jul 2026 16:52:37
Cheers, VG.

24 Jul 2026 16:56:25
Cheers, VG.
Keep the info coming, mate.

24 Jul 2026 16:57:16
Thanks VG.

24 Jul 2026 17:16:20
The Fifth Element, pure nightmare fuel that.

24 Jul 2026 17:34:09
Patience? This site is pinned on both my computer and mobile. I must check it ten times a day, lmao.... And am always disappointed with the lack of new rumours! Unless, of course, one of the true ITK's post... Then it's usually exciting...

24 Jul 2026 17:56:12
Cheers VG.

24 Jul 2026 18:10:47
Ten times? I'm refreshing like a woodpecker with ADHD lol.

24 Jul 2026 19:14:00
Nice one, VG. I'd be happy with Wharton and Barcola. Any news on a right back? Seems to have gone very quiet on that front considering we were told it was a priority position at the beginning of the summer.

24 Jul 2026 19:17:04
Nice one, Victor.

24 Jul 2026 19:20:07
Only 10 times? Lol.

Bottom line is, whipped snapper or not. We will not start the season with the squad we have now. We will make some signings. We may miss one or two also, but this is what seems to be happening.

I can't see Iraola being like Slot and blaming poor form on lack of preseason.

So whilst the ideal outcome would be to get these signings in for a preseason. It might not happen that way. It does annoy me when I see spuds and Chelsea signing whoever they want seemingly. But we don't seem to work that way.

24 Jul 2026 19:25:15
2Shoes, you can't blame people for being impatient when we still need a minimum of 4 players and the season starts in a month, especially when there's a real opportunity for us to gain some early momentum with Saliba being out, Rice being on his last legs, Saka with injury issues and Rodri requiring surgery.


Still think Wharton is the most important signing Liverpool need to make this summer, otherwise it's another season of miraculously hoping the ball goes from back to front again.

24 Jul 2026 19:48:54
Agree, HLFC, about Wharton - I know there are some doubts he's not defensive enough, but when you have a pivot of two, if one goes and one covers, then we should be fine.

Last season, no one covered. Plus, Wharton is ok defensively - reads the game well and closes down spaces. Him and Dom could be like Whelan and McMahon, with Grav the glorified Spackman.

24 Jul 2026 19:55:56
They'd be nothing like Whelan & McMahon as both of them could defend and McMahon was hard as nails, Wharton & Szoboszlai are both a pair of soft lads who are easily bullied.

24 Jul 2026 16:16:23
I have a theory on this.

When you are 13/14 years old, having to wait, say, 7 weeks for a transfer to be completed feels like FOREVER!

I guess it is, as 7 weeks is almost 1% of your total elapsed life to date.

When you are as old as me, that drops to around 0.25% of your elapsed time to date.

And when you get as old as Billy (Ed025), that drops to a number so small that it is incomputable.

So, patience tends to come with age!

Plus we live in an Insta society!

{Ed025's Note - yeah Zed its certainly a microwave society we live in mate, i remember when i got married and we saved up for a tin of paint, now the young ones have a new house 2 cars and expensive holidays it seems mate, patience was a virtue then i suppose but today its non-existent, i would not change a thing though..

24 Jul 2026 20:17:35
Yep, but the game is much less physical now - more about positional sense than thundering into a tackle. Think Wharton and Dom could be a very effective combination.

24 Jul 2026 20:46:42
Agree with JoeBuck on this one, think it would be a good pairing.

24 Jul 2026 21:30:24
"i would not change a thing though."

@Ed025 Not even the paint? That must be getting on a bit as well ;)

{Ed025's Note - love it MCH..

24 Jul 2026 22:44:21
Thanks VG.

24 Jul 2026 11:50:44
Barcola now on holiday.
Diamonde won’t be easy as both Carra and Robbo have said.
Midfield won’t happen until we sell Macca or Jones or Elliott.
RB not sure we are even looking for one?
Nothing will happen until early to mid August.


Just chill out people and enjoy watching the younger squad members or newcomers show us what they are about in the US of A.

24 Jul 2026 12:40:51
Iraola has said himself that we need and are looking at adding to the squad, 'no transfers at all' appears to be the least likely outcome of all.

24 Jul 2026 12:42:21
Arghhh Fakir Friday! Thanks Hughsey.

24 Jul 2026 12:42:09
Rudjo what a pathetic comment. We have already signed 2 players and we will be signing a winger and a right back as a minimum on top of those signings.

Grow up.

24 Jul 2026 13:31:26
Who is Rudjo? Your message is a joke, soft lad.

Patrik, who said there would be no signings, I said it won't happen until early to mid August?

24 Jul 2026 13:55:01
Shughes55, I was thinking the same... but then, I often think comments on this site do be mixed up... He was possibly replying to a different comment. It's not the easiest of sites to navigate. Some of the long threads, full of nothing comments, do my nut in when you're just on, trying to find a glimmer of info.

24 Jul 2026 14:15:11
Shughes55, can we hold you to the "nothing will happen until early to mid August" statement?

Asking for a friend.

In all seriousness, I doubt player holidays will hold up transfer business - unless it's already a formality. World Cup, yes. Player holidays, unlikely.

24 Jul 2026 14:22:09
I'm sorry, this can't go on... I'm going to move in with me mam and dad... I'm just sick of the constant moaning... and as for the snoring I........

Oh hold on... got my comments mixed up again, sorry guys...

I've just text me bird to ask who LFC are signing...

24 Jul 2026 14:53:43
Move on, people. It's Friday, be happy.

24 Jul 2026 14:57:44
So we aren't signing Barcola because he snores? Flippin hell.

24 Jul 2026 15:08:20
It makes sense. If our main targets are World Cup players, we are waiting until later on in the window. Whether it is Barcola, Diomande, or whoever. These guys will be on £200k a week if they sign today and go on a three-week holiday. That's £600k spent for nothing.

24 Jul 2026 15:14:59
Shughes, I was responding to a fellow who said that there will be no transfers at all and our season will be over before it starts. That comment has since been removed for some reason.

24 Jul 2026 15:20:07
It's hard to chill about transfers when the season is a month away and all of our rivals are doing business. I certainly hope there's more going on behind the scenes and moves are made fairly quickly. I would think they would have wanted to put Iraola in the best position possible well before the season starts.

24 Jul 2026 15:25:11
No problem Patrik, be happy mate.
There seemed to be a backlash to my post, which to me makes perfect sense.
We just need to chill, the signings will come when the club and the player are ready.

By the way, I think Barcola will come, and Diamonde still has many twists and turns.
I'm desperate for the club to sign a RB though.

24 Jul 2026 15:51:20
It's frustrating in as much as seeing the teams around us and in direct competition are strengthening. The knock-on effect, i.e. Kroupi gets sold, Bournemouth then have no reason to sell Rayan, or can hold out. The mf from Monaco that's gone to Nufc probably means they don't have to sell Camara, etc. On top of that, watching us do this in seasons passed, let's be honest, last summer was the anomaly, not the norm. We've written off seasons because we haven't bought what we needed when we needed it, or monitored players just to walk away because we don't get into bidding wars.

I can fully understand why fans get annoyed with the lack of business. We need at least 4/5 players, without outgoings, in 5 weeks. I can't see it happening, then we kick the can down the road and still need those signings in the areas we haven't fixed, on top of the likes of VVD, Ali, Endo, Kostas, and whoever else we've allowed to run their contract down. I'm happy we seem to be future proofing with all the kids we're buying, but where's the now proofing?

24 Jul 2026 15:29:06
FYI, if posters get banned (and there's been a few since schools broke up!) the Eds tend to remove their comments. Recently they've mainly been abusing ITK posters.

Correct and fair, but confusing when you respond to them!

24 Jul 2026 17:49:18
Thanks to all for your updates even if things are a bit slow, at the moment, good to have an idea who we're looking at anyway.
No knickers in a twist here, big shiney thing high in the sky and weekend is upon us again, not quite run out of bourbon yet, so happy dayz
Thanks again.

24 Jul 2026 10:39:20
Hi Diddly Ho,

I’ve just been told that representatives from two German clubs - Bayern Munich and, interestingly, Borussia Dortmund - have met with Cody Gakpo’s representatives over the past week.

Gakpo seems like he would be open to a move to the Bundesliga, with the next step, being club-to-club discussions.



As for Liverpool’s stance, I honestly don’t know. This information has come from someone not connected to LFC.

Diddly out.

24 Jul 2026 11:16:17
Cheers neighbourino,

Definitely feels Gakpo is off if we looking at Barcola & Diomande.

24 Jul 2026 11:17:21
Thanks, Ned.

24 Jul 2026 11:17:47
Thanks for the info, Ned.

24 Jul 2026 11:20:47
Cheers, Ned.

24 Jul 2026 11:22:13
This better be 100% factual, Ned. 🤣

24 Jul 2026 11:25:28
Cheers, Ned.

24 Jul 2026 11:28:58
If this is the case, and also the need to replace Salah, surely we will see some movement in the market soon?

24 Jul 2026 11:28:58
Nice intel, Ned-diddly-dude.
I wonder if the floodgates will open and business starts to happen if he does go.

Cheers, lar!

24 Jul 2026 11:31:06
Speckledreds1, is Neighbourino a new Portuguese player we're looking at?

24 Jul 2026 11:33:05
Thanks Ned. Makes me wonder if Bayern are in for Cody that they may be willing to let Olise go. Not saying that would be to us, I'm more thinking Real would be taking him.
Personally, I know Cody didn't have the best season just gone, but none of our players did.

I think with a good coach and in the team he would be well worth keeping. The market for wingers isn't the greatest at the moment, so stick rather than twist, and give Rio time to learn and progress with an experienced player there.

Bazza.

24 Jul 2026 11:45:44
Not a bad shout, Bazza.

24 Jul 2026 11:48:19
Nice one, Neddy, thanks.

24 Jul 2026 11:55:17
Thanks, Nedinho.
Always appreciate your rumours.
Make sense too if indeed we are interested in two wingers.

24 Jul 2026 12:00:38
Thanks Ned, that sounds interesting. I still believe we will get Barcola and Diomande, with Gakpo making way.

24 Jul 2026 12:06:54
Hope you're right, Zed. Though you'll probably contradict me, as you don't like me. Boo hoo!

24 Jul 2026 12:07:49
Thanks Nedders.

24 Jul 2026 12:18:59
Cheers, Ned.

24 Jul 2026 12:22:43
Cheers, Ned. Hope you are well.

24 Jul 2026 12:50:15
Could Dortmund afford the fee for Gakpo, nevermind wages?

Bayern could.

24 Jul 2026 13:00:00
Love you Rome!
