Liverpool still searching for an opening goal vs United 0-0

🚨 Real Madrid did not make a formal bid with numbers, they called Liverpool and asked: 'Would you consider selling Trent Alexander-Arnold?' and the answer was 'no'. @MarioCortegana

🚨𝗝𝗨𝗦𝗧 𝗜𝗡: Trent Alexander-Arnold wants at least a three-year contract and the captain’s armband in the future, @JacobsBen (🌗).

[🟢] NEW: AC Milan are yet to contact Liverpool in regard to a move for Nunez in January. Although it is still extremely early in the transfer window, it is unlikely that Liverpool would permit Nunez a move away without a replacement lined up. [Simon Jones - @MailSport]

🚨(🌕) | @_pauljoyce: Negotiations on a new contract for Trent Alexander-Arnold are also continuing and Liverpool have had no indication that the player wants to leave.❌

🚨(🌕) | @FabrizioRomano: As of today, 31/12/2024, Liverpool have not been told by Trent Alexander-Arnold that he wants to leave the club. Liverpool still keep hope that they will extend the contract of Trent.

[🟢]NEW: Liverpool still have hope that Trent Alexander-Arnold will stay, but they know it will not be easy, because Real Madrid are pushing hard. @fabrizioromanobr.bsky.social

🚨 𝗜𝗡𝗙𝗢: Talks are advanced and an agreement is very close to being reached between Real Madrid & Trent Alexander-Arnold — there’s still plenty of time left for a deal to be negotiated if the Reds would change their mind about a January departure, @jfelixdiaz (🌖).

🚨 𝗝𝗨𝗦𝗧 𝗜𝗡: Real Madrid are willing to offer £16M-£20M for Liverpool right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold THIS JANUARY, @jfelixdiaz (🌖).

Get ready for far more match-day and transfer news activity on a daily basis. We’re looking to establish a core Liverpool fan base on this app. The support we’ve received thus far only encourages me that there’s more to do. Thank you for all the support in 2024. On to 2025 reds!! YNWA🔴 -Steve

🚨(🌕) | @fabrizioromanobr.bsky.social : Both Manchester United & Liverpool are interested in Milos Kerkez of Bournemouth.🇭🇺 ↪️However, Liverpool always prefer to go for different profile and different kind of player. ⌛️ ↪️Liverpool are not desperate to go for Kerkez.😮👀

🚨 𝗝𝗨𝗦𝗧 𝗜𝗡: Liverpool have presented Trent Alexander-Arnold the new contract proposal — it's quite a good one so the negotiations are ongoing, @FabrizioRomano (🌕).

🚨OFFICIAL🚨 Liverpool will face Tottenham Hotspur in the Semi-Final of the Carabao Cup #EFLCup 🏆💪

FT: 2-1 Liverpool, sloppy second half at times but Chiesa in the final 25 minutes was massive! Onto the semi-finals- COME ON REDDS!!!

Chiesa growing into the game, cheeky nutmeg and great work rate.

Morton creating more work for himself, granted he’s not a natural RB. Sloppy out of possession. LFC 2-1

2-0 Liverpool at 55’, how we feeling reds?

Kick off at St. Mary’s! Come on Reds!!

🚨(🌕) | @Plettigoal: Liverpool are impressed by Jeremie Frimpong’s development and performances at Bayer 04 Leverkusen.📈🕵️‍♂️ However, the 24y/o right wing-back is currently not a concrete transfer target for the summer. Slot would prefer a traditional RB.

🚨 𝗡𝗘𝗪: Liverpool’s main goal is to tie down AT LEAST two of their three stars, and for that reason they’re offering an amount of money that they never had in their calculations. Madrid remains in the sidelines attentive at Trent’s developments, @jfelixdiaz (🌖).

🚨 𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚: Mohamed Salah is now VERY CLOSE to continue his career as a Liverpool player, and the announcement could be done before the end of the year. From total pessimism it’s now turned into complete optimism, @jfelixdiaz (🌖).

Neither a red card btw.

Ends 2-2 at Anfield. A point to bring Liverpool to 36 points top of the table.

Jota has a shot deflected over.

Fabrizio Romano has confirmed #Liverpool's interest in #Brighton forward Joao Pedro as Arne Slot looks to bolster his attacking options following concerns over both Diogo Jota and Darwin Nunez.

The Egyptian King 🇪🇬 👑

Following last night's results in the #UCL, Liverpool require 4 points from their remaining 6 in order to secure 1st position Top 8 means we don't have a midweek game prior to travelling to the Etihad later in the season. Man City will probably have a midweek game prior👀

🚨 𝗨𝗣𝗗𝗔𝗧𝗘: To my knowledge, there's been no negotiations with any external clubs, they [Virgil & Salah] have been focused on Liverpool, @MelissaReddy_ (🌕).

🚨ℹ️ | @MelissaReddy_: But he [Trent] is the wildcard. He's still the one that you can't really read, whereas the other two [Virgil & Salah], I'd be staggered if either of them don't stay."

🚨(🌕) | @MelissaReddy_ on Trent Alexander-Arnold: Real Madrid are heavily invested in getting him. He is seduced by that idea. You can't really blame him for being so. He's achieved a lot with #LFC. In his interviews recently, it's like I'm listening to Real's sales pitch given back to me.

'According to reports from England, Liverpool are interested in Argentinian midfielder Franco Mastantuono (17), @TYCSports.' River know they won’t be able to keep hold of him for long, and they’ll be tested again this coming window.

🚨(🌕) | Bruno Andrade for @UOL: Liverpool have Joao Pedro as one of its priorities next summer. The club intend to start negotiations as early as January since Brighton are one of the most challenging clubs to negotiate with.👀🇧🇷

Since Liverpool last played: Merseyside Derby called off Extra much needed rest for us City & Arsenal drop points Game in hand 4 points clear Contracts handed out Man City 130 charges verdict soon David Coote sacked Ali & Jota back in training I've had worse weeks😂

🚨 𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚: Statement from PGMOL: Following the conclusion of a thorough investigation into David Coote’s conduct, his employment with PGMOL has been terminated today with immediate effect. David Coote’s actions were found to be in serious breach of the provisions of his employment contract.

📲 Mohamed Salah on Instagram yesterday: 💨

🚨 Liverpool make opening contract offer to Mohamed Salah. Does not mean agreement done or close (any outcome expected to take time) but Salah, Virgil van Dijk, Trent Alexander-Arnold have all now received proposals + talks with #LFC ongoing @theathleticfc.bsky.social

Opponent Watch: Arsenal drop points against Fulham as the draw 1-1. Wonderful news for @LFC and their title race chances.

🚨 𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚: Mohamed Salah is on the brink of signing a new 2 year contract with @LFC to end all doubts about his future. A compromise deal between FSG & Salah has been thrashed out after months of negotiations, @RiccoSrant (🌗).

Aintree Racecourse, 10-15 minutes away from Goodison Park, has cancelled all races today due to damage to the track due to the winds. Wind speed at kick-off is expected to be around 30mph and gusts of up to 50mph.

🚨 𝗡𝗘𝗪: Despite following the player for some time, Liverpool have WALKED AWAY from any potential transfer for Atalanta midfielder Ederson, after learning the staggering €60M price tag placed by Atalanta, @CorSport.

Look who is at the AXA training centre.

🏥 Arne Slot confirms that Diogo Jota, Federico Chiesa, & Alisson are 𝗖𝗟𝗢𝗦𝗘 to coming back to the team. While Ibrahima Konate, Conor Bradley, & Kostas Tsimikas are further away.

Former Feyenoord defender and football presenter @HaythamFarouk with some interesting claims on X today after posting a picture with Mohamed Salah. Could he be the first to break the news over his contract? 🤯✍️

Federico Chiesa scores for the U21’s!!

💬 | Robbie Fowler on Mohamed Salah: Give him what he wants.

🚨ℹ️ : @lewissteele.bsky.social : Meanwhile, Federico Chiesa and Jayden Danns among those starting for Liverpool Under 21s at Kirkby in the PL International Cup against Nordsjaelland

🚨 EXCL: Liverpool have made a contract offer to Virgil van Dijk. Opening bid tabled some time ago - no breakthrough yet on value or length of potential deal, but talks continue. Mo Salah proposal anticipated soon. #LFC dialogue also ongoing with Trent Alexander-Arnold www.nytimes.com/athletic/596...

🚨(🌕) | @david-ornstein.bsky.social : Conversations are also ongoing between Liverpool and Alexander-Arnold.☎️⏳ The right-back has generated well-documented interest from Real Madrid but, similarly to his team-mates, it remains unclear how the matter will conclude.❌
