That means, if these reports are to be believed, that Koulibaly has PSG, Liverpool and Manchester United after his signature. Those are the three clubs who have been linked with the defender. There are sure to be more watching and waiting for the right time to make an approach for …
Italian press links Liverpool with move for Napoli talisman
Liverpool are reported to have made contact with Serie A club Napoli about the availability of defender Kalidou Koulibaly.
If the story, as published on Tuttomercatoweb is to be believed, then The Reds have enquired about Kalidou Koulibaly's transfer situation. With Manchester United also thought to be tracking the centre-half who turns 29 next month, it's thought Napoli could be keen to sell Koulibaly to help lessen the financial impact of the Coronavirus pandemic. Napoli were having a poor season …
Back-To-Goal Salah Offers Liverpool New Attacking Dimension
Mohamed Salah is back.
After a few weeks of relatively low-key performances while clearly playing through an ankle injury, the Egyptian has burst back into form and has netted goals in games versus Watford (x2), Bournemouth and Red Bull Salzburg.
The most striking feature of Salah's game in recent weeks, though, is how well the forward has linked the play, in the style of a burly old school centre forward.
Standing at 5'9, the former Roma flyer is not the …
Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and diving
Mohamed Salah just can’t win.
The Liverpool forward is accused by many of being a diver, some even go to the lengths of creating videos to highlight these dives when in reality they flag a number of fouls. The fact remains, however, he has wrongly received this tag that he’s unable to shake. And while it’s fans who push this narrative, it’s one that is heard across the world via social media.
Yet in the Champions League clash with Napoli, …
Limp Liverpool Lament Lack of Creativity
Liverpool will have most likely have to win their matchday 6 trip to Salzburg in order to top their Champions League after being frustrated 1-1 by Napoli at Anfield tonight.
A Dejan Lovren header from a corner equalised an early Dries Mertens strike, but Liverpool produced an atypically meek European home performance and missed a chance to win their group with a match to spare.
Jurgen Klopp elected to make three changes from the victory over Crystal Palace, with Alex …
Player ratings as Reds fall again in Naples
VAR. Going great, isn’t it? I honestly didn’t think we’d do particularly well tonight but I thought we’d at least have the VAR on our side after Saturday’s debacle.
Never mind. Chelsea on Saturday etc, we move on.
Just one more thing before the ratings - Peter Walton is a big weirdo.
Adriannnnn, like Rocky!
Adrian (8): That’s an amazing save, you know the one I mean. Genuinely, Roy of the Rovers stuff. Does his best with the penalty.
TAA …
The Story Behind Liverpool's 'Worst Performance of the Season' and Why it Must Not be Repeated
It's that special time of year again. The European champions are back in action and they will finally be laying their first defence of the crown that sets them apart from the rest.
Liverpool travel to southern Italy to begin their European title defence against Napoli on Tuesday evening. It will be the first time the Reds will be in Champions League action since Jordan Henderson raised Ole Big Ears to the heavens following that magical night in Madrid back …
Havertz Little Patience
Yes, this is a piece condoning, and perhaps even encouraging, a lack of Liverpool signings this summer.
But if anyone’s angered by that, they’re hanging onto a reality that’s long passed them by. After all, Liverpool fans have had it broadcasted on repeat that Klopp and co. aren’t planning any significant investment this summer. Of course, the need for an able backup attacker is still as imperative as it was a month ago, as is detailed by this author’s piece …
Liverpool reportedly up interest in Napoli's Kalidou Koulibaly
Liverpool and Jurgen Klopp have reportedly upped their interest in Napoli's Senegalese centre-back Kalidou Koulibaly.
The 27-year-old joined the Serie A side for just under €8 million in the summer of 2014. He has since developed into one of the best central defenders in the Italian league over the last five years.
It seems there are rumours about Koulibaly's future every summer and this year it's no different as Manchester United, Juventus, Manchester City and PSG are all reported to …
Why Liverpool Fans Are Underrating Mo Salah
I happened to glance upon a Twitter poll last week asking who Liverpool’s best signing had been during Jurgen Klopp's tenure.
I answered with my gut feeling, and along with approximately 60 per cent of the voters, opted for Virgil van Dijk, who led the way comfortably.
I saw Mo Salah’s name loud and clear in front of me but didn’t once consider picking him ahead of the towering Dutchman.
The last week has shown how ridiculous it is that …
