Potential Ibrahima Konate Purchase Shows Liverpool’s Pulling Power

Liverpool will trigger Red Bull Leipzig defender Ibrahima Konate's €40M release clause before signing the Frenchman in the summer, according to reports from The Athletic. The 22-year-old centre half is one of Europe's foremost young central defenders and any move for the 6'4" stopper will represent a coup for the Reds, even if Konate has...

How Liverpool identify centre-backs

It might not necessarily be a good thing, but Liverpool do have a type.  They know what they want from their attackers with Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Diogo Jota all sharing a number of similar traits and metrics.  On one hand, it is positive that the Reds know exactly the sort of player they want...

Konate Throws Liverpool Gauntlet Down To Kabak

A penny for Ozan Kabak thought's? After a rocky opening few games in his Liverpool career, the recently turned 21-year-old defender has exuded calm and confidence -- far belying his tender years -- in his most recent appearances. It was taken for granted that the Turkish international, who is on loan from Germany's Schalke, would have...

International Break To Provide Liverpool With Rare Boost

For many years, Liverpool fans would watch football during the international break between the cracks of their fingers. Several of the Reds' players -- most notably Daniel Sturridge with England -- have picked up lengthy injuries while representing their country, thanks to archaic training regimens(see Roy Hodgson testing Sturridge's "resolve") or -- as was the...

Konate move suggests Klopp’s Liverpool rebuild is in full swing

Finally, something to talk about again! It feels like Liverpool's last game took place in approximately 2004, with the FA Cup quarter-finals and international break both things the Reds had no great interest in.

Why Liverpool need Konate and Kabak

Liverpool went from having no centre-backs to potentially having an abundance of them. Per The Athletic, the Reds are in advanced negotiations to sign Ibrahima Konate from RB Leipzig.

The transfer rumour mill is about to ramp its intensity in the weeks and months to come.

Saša Kalajdžić: A Potential BIG Signing for Liverpool?

By all accounts, Liverpool will focus much of their transfer efforts this summer on signing a forward. With question marks over the futures of Xherdan Shaqiri and Divock Origi, the Reds seem primed to recruit a squad player who can compete with -- and not replace -- Roberto Firmino, Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane, and Diogo...

Would Istanbul glory pip Liverpool’s 2005 heroics?

The idea of this season ending in glory for Liverpool seems little more than a pipe dream, if we're being completely honest. It has been a disastrous campaign for the Reds, with injuries depleting them and their Premier League title defence going out in a whimper. Not only that, but a top-four finish now looks...

Georginio Wijnaldum & Getting The Midfield Balance Right

The rumours linking Liverpool's Georginio Wijnaldum to Barcelona continue to circulate. In this Sunday's Sunday Times, Duncan Castles wrote that the Dutchman --whose contract at Anfield expires on June the 30th -- has chosen to join the La Liga team and reunite with his former Netherlands national team coach, Ronald Koeman.
