Liverpool Rumours 4

15 Apr 2026 17:02:44
Ornstein has just reiterated that FSG intend to give Slot next season! Yeah good luck! If this was to happen he would be sacked by October like Rodgers!

15 Apr 2026 17:37:12
Why would he be sacked by October? 😁 We don't even know how the summer will go yet. Jesus, relax, he'll be gone by May, but it's hilarious how people just assume it'd be another Rodgers. Just as likely he could win another title. This summer's window is huge, no matter who is in charge.

15 Apr 2026 17:42:02
"Just as likely he could win another title."

I mean, it isn't "just" as likely, is it. Let's not be silly now.

15 Apr 2026 17:52:12
Win another title, I'm more worried about winning another game.

15 Apr 2026 17:54:08
It wouldn't shock me. In my eyes it's more amazing he survived November.

15 Apr 2026 17:58:45
This Florian guy, oh my word. Does this bloke just rage bait non stop? Mate, you can follow Slot when we finally get shut of him. He's useless.

15 Apr 2026 18:00:41
Giving Slot next season ends in a relegation battle.

15 Apr 2026 18:17:46
Why do people continue to latch on to every word that Yawnstein spouts? There's not a hope in hell that Sloth is here next season. If he is, I'll eat my own kecks.

{Ed025's Note - i want him to stay now TIB.. :)

15 Apr 2026 18:19:08
Florian you're on another planet mate

Ed's, any chance we can introduce a dislike button? jk

{Ed025's Note - if you dont like a poster or his posts Chewy...just skip past them mate..

15 Apr 2026 18:57:50
I was only messing ED, hence why I wrote JK at the end

{Ed025's Note - i got it mate.. :)

15 Apr 2026 21:13:04
"Just as likely he could win another title."

Give it up, FM. You've lost the plot

15 Apr 2026 16:40:51
"All of our information is that FSG, the ownership, the sporting hierarchy at Liverpool - they intend to stick with Arne Slot.

"From the conversations I've had - even if there's no Champions League football - that's the intention."
David Ornstein has said this.

I know we have said not to believe everything journos say, but that statement is pretty much like he is nailed on to be here next season.

15 Apr 2026 17:39:26
A mouthpiece for the club. Until he's first to break the Slot getting sacked story, and then he'll be back to being an ultra reliable, always 1st with the news ITK.

15 Apr 2026 17:44:56
Everyone needs to chill, they aren't going to say anything different at the moment. Ornstein is being told what the club want him to know at this moment in time.

15 Apr 2026 17:53:46
Spot on, Flo. Carry our water and broadcast our message, and when we have actual news we'll seed it to you first.

The contemporary style of journalism is so transactional.

It's not just football either. This kind of access extortion is happening all across our society.

15 Apr 2026 20:21:42
The key words there are 'that's the intention'. Plenty of reversing space there for the club in the summer.

15 Apr 2026 15:26:13
It seems like Konate has again stalled his contract signing.

15 Apr 2026 15:45:08
Good news just keeps coming in.........

Gona be some rebuild this in the summer, Ekitike out, Salah, Robbo and Konate out on frees.

Question mark on the GK, out of interest, did we have a buyback clause on Kellerher?

Already desperate for wide players and a DM type.



With so much change, feel next season will need patience to all for transition.

They might stick with Slot, as that's some job for anyone who would potentially come in.

15 Apr 2026 15:52:49
Not sure where you are getting that from, Cafu, but it seems the opposite online with many reporting a 4 year deal agreed bar some minor bits.

15 Apr 2026 16:22:39
Is it the same source that doesn't know an ACL from an Achilles?

15 Apr 2026 16:41:39
Sounds like the source is into mythology.

15 Apr 2026 18:22:54
Cafu, that's 2 rumours now that are the polar opposite of the general consensus, maybe you should try find a new source and consider using the old googlebox there before sharing in future.

15 Apr 2026 05:13:16
Not hearing hood news on Ekitike. Wish him a speedy recovery. Word is it's ACL, so tough luck for the player.

15 Apr 2026 06:54:59
I read that it was a heel injury so I'm guessing it was his Achilles. But yeah, it isn't looking good, and he is likely to miss out for the rest of the season and the World Cup too.

15 Apr 2026 07:03:37
Has he had a scan yet?

15 Apr 2026 07:24:20
Well it's definitely not his ACL.

15 Apr 2026 08:19:33
That's the problem with these hoodies these days.

15 Apr 2026 08:51:10
He can't have had his scan yet.

Hard to tell, but I thought they were assessing the lower leg. So assumed is a ruptured Achilles.

15 Apr 2026 08:55:07
Looked like the heel not the knee to me. Likely Achilles or plantar.

15 Apr 2026 09:05:49
French media saying it's an Achilles rupture. Facing 9 months out. Doubt he's had a scan yet, but it definitely didn't look good.

15 Apr 2026 09:18:39
I know it's very early on, but surely this has to change transfer plans.

Isak isn't the most reliable on the injury front. Surely we will have to think about keeping Chiesa next season.

15 Apr 2026 09:20:02
Can I ask where you 'heard' this news? Every report going says his Achilles, and, watching the game, it looked like he was holding his leg where his Achilles is. Sharing that someone has done an ACL when they haven't, and claiming you 'heard it' as though you have some inside knowledge, is just rubbish, to be honest, and a pretty shameful example of someone pretending to be in the know or sharing fake news without bothering to check the facts.

15 Apr 2026 09:32:31
According to his family (in reports), Ekitike has (thankfully) not ruptured his Achilles, but the injury is bad enough to rule him out of the rest of the season and the World Cup.

15 Apr 2026 10:00:16
Jesus! If it wasn't for bad luck we would have no luck at all.
I don't think Hugo and Isak are not meant to be on the same pitch together.
Looks like another long term injury to Hugo.
And Gomez went off with a twisted sock again.
Oh well, one game a week now, Slot can't moan about tiredness lol.

15 Apr 2026 10:24:26
Just wish the lad well.
Whatever the injury, he's not playing for us until August, so let's hope he gets the treatment he needs and is firing for next season.

15 Apr 2026 10:56:18
Wouldn't be making me keep Chiesa. Would be a promotion to backup striker for Danns or Wright for me.

15 Apr 2026 11:04:27
Will make him a different player. Really bad news and such a shame.

15 Apr 2026 11:59:30
ACL standing for Ah Can't Lie, I'm getting sick of these constant injuries.

15 Apr 2026 12:43:54
It definitely wasn't his knee, you could see he went down as soon as he planted his foot and was initially holding his ankle by the Achilles, the PSG players were holding his leg up by the knee to keep weight off the foot which you wouldn't do if it was the knee, it was definitely in around the ankle/heel area.

If it's as serious as it looked, and it looked pretty bad, he's out for at least 6 months. Looked like he signalled to the physio that he thought he snapped it.

15 Apr 2026 13:16:22
My mistake there, it's not ACL.

15 Apr 2026 13:51:02
We needed at least one or two pacey winger/forwards anyway, for me, no reason to keep Chiesa for the team or for him; keeping him helps no one.

15 Apr 2026 14:35:07
So we moved from ACL to ruptured Achilles in the French press to not a ruptured Achilles according to 'family', and we need a new CF because Hugo's a write off and he still hasn't had a scan. 😁😁😁

16 Apr 2026 07:28:53
He's out for an estimated 9 months - terrible news. Likelihood is that Will Wright will be called up to the main squad.

14 Apr 2026 23:26:39
According to Bild
Nico Schlotterbeck has a release clause in his new contract that can be activated by 3 clubs, one of which is LFC.

15 Apr 2026 00:07:01
As reported a week or two ago on here. Glad we are one of them, but whether the club wants to spend another £50m on him is another thing.

15 Apr 2026 00:21:21
If Ibou stays, we don't need him. VVD is fine for another couple of seasons if we can sort the mess around him out. Leoni and Jacquet look promising.

15 Apr 2026 06:38:27
VVD is not fine for another couple of seasons. Have you actually been to a game this season and watched him? He is finished and way past his previous excellent levels.
We need a new established centre back. Guehi was a big miss. I like Maxence Lacroix over Schlotterback though. Even Murillo, I would take over Schlotterback.

15 Apr 2026 06:57:04
I don't think VVD is done just yet. People said that after his ACL and he came back strong. imo, his problem this season is that his attitude is poor and he is taking things a bit too easy. He needs a manager to fire him up.

15 Apr 2026 07:15:38
He has lost pace, and more and more his decisions on the pitch are flawed.
One more season, then a huge thank you for being the best since Hansen.

15 Apr 2026 07:36:54
He's done for us, we need new leadership on the pitch, and, when you install a new captain, it's best that the old one leaves. As a centre half, I think he has a couple more seasons in him, and I hope he finds a club where he can pick up a few trophies whilst winding up an extraordinary career. Thanks Virgil, but time to go.

15 Apr 2026 08:10:52
Very hard to be a world class center back when you have no midfield in front of you. Maldini would look bang average in this team at the moment. Buy a decent defensive midfielder, and the whole back 4 look a lot better.

15 Apr 2026 08:19:43
Hellohello is spot on. Midfield has been exposed for ages. As good as VVD's pace was, he's still got the brain, and with decent defenders around him, he'll be sound. It must be like flogging a dead horse, leading that defensive line, and we'd all be frustrated.

15 Apr 2026 09:22:33
Have you seen the pictures of Leoni in recovery? The lad's an absolute unit.

15 Apr 2026 10:09:52
Did anyone see Gravenberch put in three tackles? Could not believe my eyes.

15 Apr 2026 11:00:18
Is Virg not one of these players that are only below par this season because of the manager no? Or is it only "some" players that handily fall into that bracket? 😆 Man is top class, spends half the time babtsitting his CB partner. Vvd isn't the player of 5 years ago but he is still an elite CB.

14 Apr 2026 22:18:02
I’ve heard a rumour, more of a prayer, slots doing the right thing and stepping down at midnight.

14 Apr 2026 23:05:51
Why midnight.

14 Apr 2026 23:18:13
😂 Why wait for midnight?

He's not stepping down, mate.

14 Apr 2026 23:19:45
That's when the blood oath will be finished.

14 Apr 2026 23:21:46
Can't see this being true, sadly, I think we just need to accept he's staying. Just worry for Champions League qualification...

14 Apr 2026 23:22:54
He's not going to turn into a pumpkin is he?

14 Apr 2026 23:30:03
Because he'll turn into a pumpkin otherwise.

14 Apr 2026 23:35:18
At midnight he turns into Teen Wolf.

Ken

15 Apr 2026 00:37:28
Sorry, fellas, was taking the mick, thought the prayer bit would be a give away. 🤣 I just need him gone.

15 Apr 2026 05:52:29
Fantastic rumour!! No logic to wait until midnight unless the club have some sort of sacrificial alter under the Kop.

15 Apr 2026 09:59:21
He turns into a Eerewolf in London at Midnight (howlllllllllllllllllll) - Warren Z.

14 Apr 2026 17:55:57
I've heard a rumour that we are looking at the finances of bringing Vini Jnr, to the club.

14 Apr 2026 18:06:35
Vini and Dembele, FSG must be selling the Red Sox.

14 Apr 2026 18:08:14
Hahah couldn't think of anybody worse to bring in.

14 Apr 2026 18:10:35
Good because we're crying out for a right footed left winger. Especially one who's more of a prima Donna than a footballer and bonus if he wants triple our highest paid players' wages.

14 Apr 2026 18:07:21
Was the source your arse? Because that's what anyone would be talking out of with this one

14 Apr 2026 18:11:09
Give your head a wobble... Total click bait, mate.

14 Apr 2026 18:18:15
Thanks for the rumour, David. Can't say it thrills me but appreciate the post.

14 Apr 2026 18:52:34
I'm sure Alonso will be thrilled to work with him again lol.

14 Apr 2026 19:02:44
Vini & Dembele? Are we assembling a team of the biggest dickheads in Europe or something?

{Ed025's Note - love it VV..

14 Apr 2026 19:08:14
Vini was part of the problem at Madrid, and getting Alonso sacked. I can see that working well along with work horse Dembele.

14 Apr 2026 19:08:22
"I heard a rumour" = I read a 2-week-old article on Yahoo Sports.

14 Apr 2026 19:23:16
Bournemouth is a pile of **** now, I have lived there for years, left but weekly return at least, it has changed - downward spiral, the town centre has so many closed up shops, like many other places.

Description from locals is that the place is more like a war zone, maybe that's why his wife can't settle.


Rumours the other day suggested he was going to Mancs, I know ppl here would like him, maybe Spain is on his radar.

14 Apr 2026 19:50:44
Bournemouth no different to any other city or town, mate. Boarded up shops, pubs, and restaurants; just charity shops and nail bars abound on high streets across the country.

Grim.

14 Apr 2026 21:55:28
There was an interview with some Ethiopian refugee's who had been housed in Bournmouth, who said they wanted to go home as it was safer (despite years of civil war).
Bournmouth has been in decline for 2 decades.

14 Apr 2026 22:33:32
It's like that recent Dembele post. I don't get anyone turning their nose up, both would walk in the door and be the best player at a club by an absolute mile.

14 Apr 2026 23:20:57
I sincerely hope that the rumour is wrong.

14 Apr 2026 23:32:31
We can't even afford Vinicius Sr.

14 Apr 2026 17:25:37
Iraola leaving Bournemouth at the end of the season. That's him and Alonso available to us. We're like kids in a sweet shop. We will end up with one that's already been sucked (make your own jokes up).

14 Apr 2026 17:48:11
I don't actually know what to say in reply, Rome...

14 Apr 2026 17:56:59
I have a habit of posting stuff and getting no replies, Shanklys! Hope you're well, mate.

14 Apr 2026 18:01:54
I am Rome! Enjoy the game tonight!!!

14 Apr 2026 18:03:44
Well, you have my reply too, mate.

Both managers have good tactics. I hope we end up with anyone that will connect and blend well with the fans.

14 Apr 2026 18:20:29
Iraola looks unlikely now, he's surely off to Spain.
If your family can't settle in Bournemouth, I doubt you're coming to Liverpool or anywhere else in the UK.

Not convinced by Xabi.

Weird as it sounds, someone suggested we've had talks with Maresca, but I brushed it off.

14 Apr 2026 18:20:53
I'd take Iraola all day personally... like Charlie with his golden ticket. Leave the kids and sucking to you, Rome, mate, haha.

14 Apr 2026 18:41:48
Rome, I know a few women that don't mind that...(don't ask how I know, best off not knowing such things).

14 Apr 2026 18:40:00
Not surprised to hear that Ron, Spanish don't travel well. If can't settle on the English Riviera you definitely struggle up north.

How about Hoeness? Is he an option if it doesn't work out with Alonso?

14 Apr 2026 19:20:28
English Riviera? Have you been to Bournemouth recently? It's a complete dive, not much better than Blackpool.

14 Apr 2026 22:29:00
What about Sebastian Hoener? I know we looked at him along with Slot.

14 Apr 2026 22:36:19
Alonso much better. I'd like to see Iraola go win a title first he didn't really do anything of note at Bournemouth. Took them from mid table to mid table.

14 Apr 2026 23:26:35
15th is not from "mid table".
They narrowly avoided relegation when he arrived.

15 Apr 2026 02:17:23
Happy with either and I love what Iraola has done at Bou, but if his family is an issue, I'd rather Alonso. I'd hate having another coach that has the stress of his family being unhappy in the city or far away.

15 Apr 2026 08:20:25
Nukem, when was the last time you were in Blackpool. 🙄

15 Apr 2026 13:42:51
Is going from 15th to currently 11th over 3 years without a single trophy anything to write home about? I think there's a step between Bournemouth manager and Liverpool. He should go to Spain, Germany or Italy and win a title first. Alonso ticks too many boxes.

14 Apr 2026 15:01:12
Good afternoon gents. Did the windows for “Player X” yesterday.

Asked him about the rumour being passed around our place last week that Slot will go before the end of the season and surprisingly he didn’t shut it down. But he did say he is Definitely going at the end of the season at the latest, but the next coach “isn’t sorted” and it could be someone “very interesting”. I asked if he meant Xabi and he shook his head. Wonder who he means. Will push next week.

He told me if we get in the Champions League #26/27 we’re having another Big summer. 6 additions planned. 3 big fish going straight into the XI. I said I’d replace him 😉.

Then he said he’d replace me... There’s no loyalty in the windows game anymore so it wouldn’t shock me.

I’ll leave you with a big one: I’ve been told on strong authority by another source (private) that the club have a meeting arranged in a fortnight in a luxury hotel in Paris. This meeting is with the representatives of the lad they want in to replace 🇪🇬👑. 👀

I’m going to run this by my player next week. I’m going to buy him a croissant 🥐 ready for our post window clean brew and maybe wear a beret and if he doesn’t take the hint I’ll just ask. Keep you posted!

Who’s ready for a miracle tonight?? Stranger things have happened 🏆 #7

14 Apr 2026 15:34:38
Love it mate, make sure you buy him a 🥐.

Tbf, the nostalgia and the potential he has means I would love it to be Xabi, but the clear and obvious choice for me is Enrique.



A proven winner who would come in and seamlessly fit, you factor in also some of the amazing football his teams play, they really are a joy to watch.

Keep us updated.

Ken.

14 Apr 2026 15:44:56
Here for these! Outstanding stuff.

14 Apr 2026 15:54:25
@ cleansheets, My guess is it's Olise to replace Salah. 🤞

14 Apr 2026 17:24:11
Pure fantasy, all of it.

14 Apr 2026 17:26:00
I love this type of rumour. Excellent work.

14 Apr 2026 17:45:00
FatSpanish - Can I have the lottery numbers?

14 Apr 2026 17:53:11
That's the best Rumour post in ages mate. 👌

14 Apr 2026 17:50:19
Jeez FSW you must live in a Charles Dickens Novel.

14 Apr 2026 17:55:55
The fact that the club would share this level of detail with a player who would then go on to share this level of detail with an almost stranger who would then go on to share this level of detail with a group of faceless strangers. And yet it still satisfies my daily transfer dopamine hit. Thank you.

14 Apr 2026 18:10:54
Good one, Cleansheets.

I think you might be talking about Yan Diomonde. :)

15 Apr 2026 04:21:11
Excellent rumour, can't wait to hear what your player says next. 👍
