Only Mo Salah: Melissa Reddy on Salah’s Final Liverpool FC Season

Only Mo Salah: Melissa Reddy on Salah’s Final Liverpool FC Season

Melissa Reddy joins Lola Katz Roberts to discuss her new book, Only Mo Salah, and provides fascinating insight into Mohamed Salah’s final chapter at Liverpool. Reddy explains why Salah’s problems were less about Liverpool’s high profile attacking signings and more about how his role changed after signing a new contract, his deteriorating relationship with Arne Slot and the feeling that the club hierarchy was already preparing for life without him. She also reveals just how determined Salah had been to remain at Liverpool, why his connection with supporters mattered so deeply, what ultimately pushed him towards terminating his contract early, and why a move to Turkey appealed more than lucrative opportunities in Saudi Arabia or MLS. The conversation also turns to the enormous task facing Liverpool as they attempt to replace one of the greatest goalscorers in the club’s history. Learn more about your ad choices.

Jones Wants OUT?! Liverpool FC Can't Ignore Their Midfield Problem

Jones Wants OUT?! Liverpool FC Can't Ignore Their Midfield Problem

Liverpool's transfer window is approaching crunch time — and Dave Davis believes the Reds simply cannot leave the squad as it currently stands. On the latest Newsround with Dave Davis, the focus begins with Curtis Jones, as Inter continue to make the Liverpool midfielder a priority target. With Jones reportedly keen on the move and Inter potentially ready to return once Davide Frattesi departs, could an exit finally be approaching after a difficult pre-season? Dave looks at why a departure may now suit all parties, whether Trey Nyoni has pushed himself ahead of Jones, and why selling the midfielder without signing a replacement would represent a major gamble. That leads into Liverpool's biggest remaining squad concern: midfield reinforcements. Dave argues the Reds still lack two important profiles — a progressive passer and a genuine defensive No.6 — and insists Iraola needs more tools if Liverpool are serious about competing at the highest level. There's also an intriguing opportunity at right-back. With Djed Spence attracting interest from Inter, could Liverpool hijack the deal if the price is right? Dave also discusses links to Guéla Doué, whose ability to operate across the defence could make him an interesting option. Elsewhere, there's discussion around Myles Lewis-Skelly, the uncertainty surrounding Trent Alexander-Arnold's future at Real Madrid, Tottenham's transfer plans and what they could mean for Cody Gakpo, plus the continuing wait for movement around Bradley Barcola and Ibrahim Mbaye. The message is clear: Liverpool still have work to do — and time is running out. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
Liverpool  Want BOTH! Barcola & Mbaye Transfer Latest

Liverpool Want BOTH! Barcola & Mbaye Transfer Latest

Liverpool's transfer window could finally be ready to explode as the final three weeks begin — and all eyes are on Paris. On today's Newsround with Dave Davis, Dave looks at the latest developments surrounding Bradley Barcola and Ibrahim Mbaye, with Liverpool reportedly still interested in signing both PSG attackers. With PSG closing in on further attacking reinforcements, could the dominoes finally be falling into place for Liverpool to make their move? Dave assesses the growing belief that Barcola's asking price could eventually drop once PSG complete their own business, why Liverpool remain prepared to be patient, and whether a stunning double swoop for Barcola and Mbaye could genuinely be on the cards. There's also the latest on Curtis Jones, with developments at Inter potentially opening the door to movement in midfield, plus what that could mean for Liverpool's plans before the window closes. Away from transfers, Florian Wirtz discusses his ambitions at Anfield, his developing relationship with Alexander Isak and his preferred No.10 role as Liverpool prepare to build their attack around their marquee signing. Dave also looks at one of the breakout stars of Liverpool's pre-season, Ndukwe, and the important decision facing the club over his expected loan move.

Is Liverpool FC Squad Depth Really Enough?

Is Liverpool FC Squad Depth Really Enough?

Liverpool's attacking transfer plans are becoming clearer — but could the Reds be preparing to take a major gamble in midfield? On today's Newsround with Dave Davis, Dave brings the latest on Bradley Barcola, who is back in PSG training as Liverpool continue to wait for movement in Paris. With PSG working on further attacking additions, including reported moves involving Mika Godts and Ferran Torres, could those dominoes finally unlock Barcola's potential move to Anfield? There's also Ibrahim Mbaye, who remains firmly under consideration. With Endrick now expected to remain at Real Madrid and other attacking alternatives disappearing, Dave asks whether Liverpool's plan could ultimately involve both PSG youngsters — Barcola on the left and Mbaye on the right. But it's the midfield situation that generates the biggest debate. Fresh reports suggest Alexis Mac Allister is unlikely to leave, despite links elsewhere, while Curtis Jones' future remains uncertain. More significantly, Liverpool may not necessarily replace Jones even if he departs, with Trey Nyoni potentially being trusted with those minutes. Dave explains why he remains concerned by a potential Dominik Szoboszlai-Ryan Gravenberch double pivot and why Liverpool could still benefit from a genuine defensive No.6. With Manchester City and Arsenal strengthening around similar profiles, are Liverpool taking an unnecessary risk by standing still? There's also discussion around Wataru Endo's future, Liverpool's defensive depth and why, despite an exciting attack, injuries and midfield balance could ultimately determine whether Iraola's squad can challenge for the biggest prizes.

Liverpool FC's Defender Hunt Over? Barcola Twist & Bezos Bombshell!

Liverpool FC's Defender Hunt Over? Barcola Twist & Bezos Bombshell!

On today's Newsround with Dave Davis, Dave begins with the rapidly developing ownership story as talks continue between Fenway Sports Group and the Amit Bhatia-led consortium over the purchase of roughly a third of Liverpool. With Jeff Bezos now widely linked to the investment group and reports suggesting an announcement could potentially arrive this week or next, Dave looks at what fresh investment could mean — and why supporters should also be cautious about assuming billions will suddenly become available for transfers. On the transfer front, Ronald Araujo is officially through the door. The Barcelona defender has already trained with his new teammates after reportedly accepting a wage reduction to facilitate his loan move. But his arrival raises another major question: is that Liverpool's defensive business finished? With Djed Spence seemingly moving towards Inter and other defensive targets disappearing from the conversation, Dave fears Liverpool may now roll with their current options despite lingering concerns at both centre-back and right-back. Virgil van Dijk's comments about Liverpool being in another period of "transition" also come under the microscope. Then there's Bradley Barcola. Liverpool remain in negotiations with PSG, but the transfer saga has taken another intriguing turn after reports that Barcola has been ill and could miss PSG's European Super Cup trip. Dave examines the curious timing of those reports, PSG's growing collection of attacking options and why further arrivals in Paris could finally create the conditions Liverpool need to strike a deal. There's also the latest on Jeremy Jacquet and Giovanni Leoni's recoveries, Liverpool's impressive young defender Ndukwe and why the final weeks of the window now appear firmly focused on strengthening Iraola's attack.
