Liverpool Rumours 2

26 Jul 2026 17:19:45
Afternoon Gents.

Some good news.

Barcola has agreed to join Liverpool, happy with wages and offered contact.

Negotiations underway with PSG.

Cheers

26 Jul 2026 18:07:39
Cheers, Robbo.

26 Jul 2026 18:11:00
Cheers, Robbo, nice to hear from you. 👍🏻

26 Jul 2026 18:13:02
Cheers, Robbo!!!

26 Jul 2026 18:14:28
Nice one, Robbo.

26 Jul 2026 18:14:48
Cheers, Robbo. Hope you are keeping well. Some of the valuations being thrown about are insane. He's a good player but not EUR170m.

26 Jul 2026 18:18:48
Absolutely stoked with the news, thanks, Robbo.
This should not mean we gone cold on Diomande since you didn't mention it, right? Right?!

26 Jul 2026 18:26:25
Amazing Robbo, thanks again for your constant info!

26 Jul 2026 18:26:40
Cheers, Robbo.

26 Jul 2026 18:32:00
Cheers, Robbo.

26 Jul 2026 18:38:23
Thank you, Robbo!

26 Jul 2026 18:50:01
The fact he is rumoured to be so interested in signing for us is a massive plus.

Barcola has superb speed, dribbling, pretty good passing and decision making for a winger. His finishing is a bit hit and miss but I can deal with that. Hopefully improves with maturity.

The concern is always his pressing, defensive work and hunger to influence the game more and get on the ball as a main man. Sometimes I think he sits on the edges of a game.

However, I often think buying a player whose weaknesses are a coach's strengths is not a bad idea if player is willing to learn.

Barcola would train every day to be aggressive and press. He is nowhere near as nonchalant as Vini in his defending so I see hope for him to adapt. If he does adapt that side of his game and marries it with what he already does really well, then we could have some player on our hands. I'd be hopeful on this one for sure.

If Gakpo does leave as mentioned, then we'll need another attacker as we'll be no better from a squad depth position unless Iraola sees something in Chiesa that Slot didn't.

26 Jul 2026 19:04:26
Great news, thanks, Robbo.

26 Jul 2026 19:08:14
Nice one Robbo, good to read something tangible. Let's hope nothing stuffs this one up.

26 Jul 2026 19:15:55
Thanks, Robbo. Really appreciate your updates. Keep 'em coming. Cheers.

26 Jul 2026 19:19:53
I know Chiesa is a fan favourite, but let's face it. He's not really good enough is he? He could have been, but I think Slot sucked the life out of him. Like he did with most of the team.

26 Jul 2026 19:45:02
You can't help but like Chiesa and apparently he's very happy at Liverpool and wants to impress Iraola, so I would think he's staying.

26 Jul 2026 19:45:26
I agree, Davey, and I'll
Raise you one - I think Barcola will
be an average signing. He's already periferal in games over there, so imagine vs physical low block sides on a rainy Monday night in Sunderland.

Also, why are we buying a first choice player for Rio's position?

26 Jul 2026 19:50:25
We need the likes of Chiesa as backup. He deserves Cup games etc, and interesting if the new manager thinks he can work with him.

26 Jul 2026 19:52:07
Could we gazump Real Madrid and take Diomande from under their noses?

26 Jul 2026 20:05:12
Cuirass place should
be made available for youth players. If only
the Italians were not so
miserly.

26 Jul 2026 16:26:45
Afternoon,
Have a mate in and around the club who’s given me this information, thought I should share. Here is his message:

Been told Barcola’s basically given Liverpool the green light. They’re stepping things up this week and trying to get it done. Personal terms are expected to be straightforward.

Ta.

26 Jul 2026 17:26:31
Is your mate Fabrizio Romano lol?

26 Jul 2026 19:49:39
A poor second choice after Diomande who had the physicality to succeed in the prem.

26 Jul 2026 15:45:02
LFC interested in Ibrahim Mbaye from PSG. Price tag around 50M€ or so and the player wants to leave the French club.

Spurs, City, Dortmund and Leverkusen also interested by the Senegalese winger.


Cheers,

Red Ronson.

26 Jul 2026 15:40:42.
Hi again all,

Fabrice Hawkins, major source in France, says that no club to club discussions occurring between PSG and LFC at this moment. PSG wants around 170M€ for the player, we will not offer that but probably the Rogers and Anderson transfers destroyed the market…

In other news, somehow related to LFC, it appears that according to some Spanish sources that Diomande to Real Madrid is a done deal.



Cheers,

Red Ronson.

26 Jul 2026 16:17:11
Wouldn't be offering anything over 80m for him!

26 Jul 2026 16:43:52
I'm not being smart, I support LFC 40 years and can really, if I'm honest, only remember two league wins, and two CL's! For the other 36 years I've enjoyed winning the odd cup or just enjoyed watching us as we won nothing at all.

I would in a heartbeat rather win nothing but introduce young Abe the way we did with Rio last year than spend EUR170m on Bradley Barcola. I love the club, Wudnt agree at all with spending anything near that on him.

26 Jul 2026 17:11:10
Give em 40 and that keeper who's name I can't spell.

26 Jul 2026 18:59:21
I don't understand this fans' obsession with price tag. Let the people who are getting paid millions worry about that.

The price tag of Barcola and young players getting the chance to play for the first team are not mutually exclusive.

On the contrary, having a world class player around them helps their development. If you saw the game yesterday, notice how Szoboszlai elevated the youngsters around him, instilling the belief to play with freedom and showcase their natural ability.

26 Jul 2026 19:51:36
I'm with you, Florian - replacing Mo needs to be carefully planned and, just because the first choice is not available, it doesn't mean w should rush in for a lightweight player like Barcola.

we already have too many lightweight players. If have given Morrison and Abe a chance whilst buying someone like Mbayye to throw in the mix.

26 Jul 2026 19:52:10
If we pay that, then we have serious problems. Sickens me. Where's the scouting team?

26 Jul 2026 15:37:55
Hi all,

Not typically one to brag but I'd like to make this post regardless.

Before the season came to a close, I was adamant that we would sign Barcola and dished out the information as and when I received it. While the majority of comments I receive are kind, there has been some ignorant no gooders. As Ned was previously getting at - it's exhausting. Being in a position to give out information can be compromising and it's not a given that "ITK" contribute.

Barcola will be a Liverpool player and developments in the last 24 hours have made me absolutely certain about that. I imagine the fee will be in or around 100-105m pound.

Thank you all who have been kind in following along and to those who have believed me from the start.

26 Jul 2026 16:07:37
Cheers Vic, so claims of PSG valuing Barcola at EUR170m are rubbish then? Ignore the haters, mate, not worth your time.

26 Jul 2026 16:07:52
Respect VG. 🙏

26 Jul 2026 16:09:16
VG, you have made this site's Mount Rushmere some time now.

Thanks for any and all info - even if none will come true from now on (and I am certain most, if not all, will. 😍)

26 Jul 2026 16:09:37
Waahhhooooo what a day for Liverpool-rumours.

26 Jul 2026 16:12:00
Nice one, big Vic.

26 Jul 2026 16:12:11
Thanks VG, sure it's only a very small minority that post negativity on your info.
Nobody likes these tossers, so do your best to ignore them, as we all do.
Without people like you, the site would be less.
Please continue with your valued info.
Kind regards.

26 Jul 2026 16:12:18
Ignore the hate, Victor. Appreciate your comments and post. It's posters like you, Robbo, Ned, Carra and the original Macca that keep this going. Thanks, mate, for everything.

26 Jul 2026 16:17:53
We won't be paying 140m for him.

26 Jul 2026 16:18:52
Most of us understand how fluid these things can be and very much appreciate the information you share. Thanks, VG.

26 Jul 2026 16:21:04
Thanks, Vic. Your info is always well appreciated.

26 Jul 2026 16:25:15
Is right, big Vic, you are the man!!!

26 Jul 2026 16:26:21
Cheers, VG.

26 Jul 2026 16:29:14
Cheers Victor. Hopefully it all gets done for BB.

26 Jul 2026 16:32:11
Total agree, VG. Too many idiots in here want to ruin things, hopefully Barcola pulls off. For me, Diomande's attitude seems like he would be a bad fit, but a good one at Real…

26 Jul 2026 16:33:24
Thanks, VG. Appreciate your posts and keep them coming. Unfortunately, it is always the bad apples that have the loudest voices, but remember they are always in the minority.

26 Jul 2026 16:34:51
We do appreciate it, Vic, but just ignore it, mate. It's hardly massively detrimental to you as a person that some anonymous person called Ruddocks Forehead or Kloppo's beard questions a few comments you make online.


You are also anonymous unless your real name is Victor Goddamn, although I find this highly unlikely... So keep the posts coming, it honestly doesn't matter if you are right or wrong, does it?

26 Jul 2026 16:36:47
Cheers, Vic.

26 Jul 2026 16:43:22
You really think PSG will do a deal at 105M when Anderson/Rodgers have already fixed this year's PL standard at well over that, LFC showed last year they are willing to pay over 120M, and Barcola is one of very few decent wide players on the market, and WC finalist & CL winner to add?

26 Jul 2026 16:59:46
Thanks, Vic, we appreciate your info.

26 Jul 2026 16:48:29
Thanks VG.

Haters going to hate mate.all I can say is Thank you, your info is always appreciated.

Next step.maybe the Eds must disable responses to the ITKs..but not sure if that will, work

{Ed025's Note - sometimes its hard to separate the wheat from the chaff JLC, but nastiness to any poster will not be tolerated mate..not on my watch..

26 Jul 2026 17:34:38
The deal will not be anywhere near the 170m Euros that's being quoted. I'm told it's closer to 120m Euros but I'm sure VG would know more than me on that matter.

Nice one as always, VG, you said of interest in him prior to the end of the season, if my memory is correct.

26 Jul 2026 17:42:36
Thanks VG, your info and input is very much appreciated.

26 Jul 2026 18:01:00
Thanks for the update and continued sharing of info. We need something to happen, so to get Barcola in (alongside other signings) would be a good start. I wouldn't pay that much for him, but I guess it's supply and demand, and there doesn't appear to be too much supply for wide forwards at present.

26 Jul 2026 18:28:42
Thanks for the update VG, but I never will understand the negative side of rumours on what is basically a rumours site! If you don't believe a 'rumour' just move on!

26 Jul 2026 18:32:24
Cheers, Victor.

26 Jul 2026 18:36:47
Appreciate update, VG. 👌🏻👌🏻
👣

26 Jul 2026 18:45:18
You don't need to justify yourself, mate, your information is always welcome. Thanks again.

26 Jul 2026 18:56:35
I think you're probably right, VG. Between you, Carra, Robbo & Ned, you've got a far better strike rate than Fabrice Hawkins.

26 Jul 2026 17:18:13
Why do you need validation in what you do, you're anonymous, people either take the info as how they see it or ignore it. even the great ED002 got a Bit of grief, thing is a lot of people are gullible n accept everything as true, n if it doesn't happen they feel aggrieved.

Most people appreciate what you do so I wouldn't explain anything to other anonymous ppl.
BTW not having a go at you or any ITKs

26 Jul 2026 20:17:29
Thanks Ed25

Just hate that it has come to this.
You and the other Eds now have to police the site because some spoilt brats don't like what they read.

{Ed025's Note - the volume of traffic on these pages is very high at the moment JLC, we are trying our best but unfortunately the odd one will get through, but thats no excuse we will have to up our game mate..

26 Jul 2026 15:27:16
Expect news on a move for Bradley Barcola in the next 24 to 72 hours.

26 Jul 2026 17:33:30
Barcola is a mistake imo. He's not going to love a rainy Tuesday in Stoke.

26 Jul 2026 15:22:33
Hey All


My information from people involved at the club is that talks are advancing quickly for Barcola and the player is 100% convinced. ITK Space is correct in the fact that 100 million +20 mil in add-ons will get the deal done.

I am adamant, as I have multiple sources telling me that we are planning a double swoop with Rayan but Bournemouth's asking prices are a touch too high. Also the interest in Djed Spence and Pedro Neto is genuine.

As Carra says

Ta.

26 Jul 2026 16:22:34
Spence makes sense.

26 Jul 2026 17:20:42
Connor was a little overstimulated this morning by it, haha.

26 Jul 2026 17:37:08
Hang on, I smell bullcrap. 😂

Are you who your username suggests you are? 😂

26 Jul 2026 18:06:35
Welcome, Craig - cracking site this! Enjoy.

26 Jul 2026 15:05:09
Gakpo Out ..

Barcola In ..

Cheers

Macca.

26 Jul 2026 15:29:24
Is this thee Macca?

26 Jul 2026 15:29:40
Now that's the kind of spacing and sign off I've been waiting for.
I like Gakpo, but this would be a huge upgrade for AI's style.

26 Jul 2026 15:29:46
Nooooo waaaaayyyy! Macca, is that really you?

26 Jul 2026 15:31:29
Maccccaaaaa!

26 Jul 2026 15:33:48
Welcome back, Macca! I used to love your posts back in the day.

So Macca and Carra are not the same person!

26 Jul 2026 15:34:01
Blimey - haven't seen you for a while, Macca, back with a boom - great news, thank you and good to see you back. 👍🏻

26 Jul 2026 15:34:49
Holy moly, it must be Christmas.

The legend that is Macca has returned to us.

All the best, you absolute legend.

26 Jul 2026 15:36:12
I'd settle for that as a good start to the transfer dominoes which will surely start soon!

26 Jul 2026 15:37:05
Wow, can't believe it. I post for the first time ever and reference ' Macca' and here he is!

26 Jul 2026 15:38:46
Well, if Gakpo leaves we need someone else in addition to Barcola lol. But, welcome back Macca.

26 Jul 2026 15:43:59
The Mac is back! Return of the Mac.

26 Jul 2026 15:34:52
Wow he is back! Eds can you verify is this the original Macca if so it's been too long!

{Ed033's Note - From what i can tell, it definitely is the original Macca.

26 Jul 2026 15:44:32
Amazing to hear from you Macca. Hope all is well with you.

26 Jul 2026 15:39:05
Wow Macca! In the the original Macca, Ed's please confirm! If it is I'm off to the bookies!

{Ed033's Note - Seems to be the original Macca.

26 Jul 2026 15:46:57
The Goat has returned!

26 Jul 2026 15:49:20
Return of the Macca.
It's been a long old time, but I'm very much here for it.
Welcome back!!!

26 Jul 2026 15:49:52
Where the hell did that come from. Cheers, Macca, and welcome back. Have you been an avid reader of the recent post?

26 Jul 2026 15:50:02
Macca has risen. Rejoice!

Cheers, Macca lad.

26 Jul 2026 15:50:27
Is this like the real Macca?

26 Jul 2026 15:51:48
Nice one, Macca. Welcome back!

26 Jul 2026 15:51:51
Great to hear from you, Macca.

26 Jul 2026 15:55:19
I was away from the site for many years. I had assumed that Carra and Macca were the same person with a different username. Great to see you back, Macca.

26 Jul 2026 15:56:30
Welcome back Macca!

DK97, not for LW, but the Barcola recruitment was never to replace Salah as Bradley is a left winger.

26 Jul 2026 15:57:01
I thought Carra is Macca? 😅

We have both - how amazing!

Thank you, sir, for the info and welcome back (unless you are Carra and so - just a refular thank you and no welcome back. 😀).

26 Jul 2026 15:57:14
The legend is back!!!

{Ed025's Note - thats great Stone but lets not underestimate the information gained from the likes of Carra, Robbo, The Fields, Ned, VG and others who have also contributed mate..

26 Jul 2026 15:58:13
Seems like a good deal in terms of the difference in fee, if we get him for the 90m quoted in the media and around 70m for Gakpo. It's a good move for Cody as well, he had a couple of good seasons with us and one poor one, good luck to him.



Be nice to start to see a shift in the squad towards an Iraola-shaped team with pace on the flanks and more aggression.

26 Jul 2026 16:00:41
Hey Macca, nice to have you back mate.

If Gakpo leaves, we'll need another winger, maybe that's where Rayan comes in. It's a shame, though, I like Gakpo, think there is a player in there.

26 Jul 2026 16:09:56
I'm still convinced that the original Macca and Carra are the same person?!! Could be wrong. In the early days, I used to log into this site just to see if Macca had posted!
If this is the original Macca, then signing Barcola is amazing news, a significant upgrade on Gapko.

26 Jul 2026 16:10:08
Never thought I would see a Macca post again! Cheers for the info.

26 Jul 2026 16:11:14
Wow... Welcome back, Macca!!! Welcome, Craig Holden of Anfield Agenda!!!

26 Jul 2026 16:16:15
The original Macca back?

Great to hear from you, mate, that sounds ideal.

I like Cody, but he can be upgraded on. I imagine the plan is Cody out to recoup some funds, and I wouldn't be shocked if we still go for a right winger too.



Rayan liked, but price could be a sticking point. Club have liked Neto for a long time, so if the fee was low that could also be the direction of travel.

Exciting times.

Ken.

26 Jul 2026 16:16:58
Love this.

Short, to the point and written like someone who knows what they're talking about.

Thanks, Mecca - hope this comes true.

26 Jul 2026 16:22:16
Shame, as squad-wise we could use both in my opinion. Thanks for posting, Macca. Good to hear from you again.

26 Jul 2026 16:27:44
Macca,
What a return that is, brother, great news.
Barcola is a belter.

26 Jul 2026 16:28:22
The return of the Mac, cheers, maccaroni.

26 Jul 2026 16:31:21
Great to see Macca back.

26 Jul 2026 16:38:32
Great to hear from you Macca.

26 Jul 2026 16:39:06
Macca, welcome back. It feels like a long lost relative has returned. 😀

26 Jul 2026 16:46:06
Macca back posting. Now, this is what you call peak nostalgia. What a time to be alive!

26 Jul 2026 16:50:47
Return of the Mac....ca. 🤣🤣

Woo-Hoo.... Welcome back, Macca.

PS.... You have some competition now, Macca. 😉😉

26 Jul 2026 16:53:33
Holy shtsauce, it's Macca..... 😯😯😯

26 Jul 2026 17:02:44
The OG! Hope things are good, Macca.

26 Jul 2026 17:07:24
Welcome back Macca :).

26 Jul 2026 17:14:21
Hmm, not sure how my last post said Maccaroni.

{Ed025's Note - dont try and pasta buck RIB.. :)

26 Jul 2026 17:20:11
Great to have you back, Macca.

26 Jul 2026 17:31:29
Nice to see the boss is back. Nice one Macca, mate.

26 Jul 2026 18:00:45
I feel thirty again with this return! ❗️ 💥

26 Jul 2026 18:00:57
Cheers Macca, concise as ever, good to see you back, it's been a while!

26 Jul 2026 18:15:23
Maaaacccaaaaaa!

Christ, this is Kleenex worthy!!!

Lovely to have you post again, pal... 🥳🥳🥳

👣

26 Jul 2026 15:34:13
Ed001 is this the real account?

{Ed033's Note - Yes.

26 Jul 2026 15:54:41
Now Ed's I really don't want to be a doubting Thomas BUT is this the real Macca?

{Ed033's Note - Yes.

26 Jul 2026 16:33:58
Guess whose back, back again, maccas back tell a friend! The GOAT (on level with ED2 has returned!)

26 Jul 2026 19:24:17
Macca walked so Carra could run.

26 Jul 2026 19:36:30
Made my day.

26 Jul 2026 18:17:50
Of course Ed025, nothing but respect for our ITK.

26 Jul 2026 19:06:27
Very good Ed25, very good.

26 Jul 2026 14:56:00
We have apparently submitted an offer just north of 95M for Bradley Barcola.

26 Jul 2026 15:39:34
North? Did they send it from Scotland?

26 Jul 2026 15:49:38
£'s or Euros??

26 Jul 2026 15:58:35
EUR or £?

26 Jul 2026 16:54:21
Just North.... past the Lake District, or maybe Crewe. 🤔🤔

26 Jul 2026 17:47:13
£'s for those asking.
