    Preview: Fulham vs. Liverpool: lineups, team news, and prediction

    After competing in Europe for the last time under Jurgen Klopp, Liverpool will visit mid-table Fulham on Sunday to continue

    After competing in Europe for the last time under Jurgen Klopp, Liverpool will visit mid-table Fulham on Sunday to continue their pursuit of Premier League dominance.

    A week has passed since the Reds’ Europa League campaign came to an end at the hands of Atalanta BC, but Marco Silva’s team has had a week to analyse a stunning 2-0 victory over West Ham United.

    Match Preview 

    After competing in Europe for the last time under Jurgen Klopp, Liverpool will visit mid-table Fulham on Sunday to continue

    Fulham could have and arguably should have registered a more decisive margin of victory against a West Ham side preoccupied with thoughts of the Europa League if it weren’t for the heroics of a troubled Lukasz Fabianski, but Silva’s team was more than happy to declare at two.

    Andreas Pereira scored both goals for the Cottagers at the London Stadium. In the first half, he took advantage of a mistake by Dinos Mavropanos and fired a shot into the top of the net. In the second half, he made an untracked run into the box and finished off a low cross from Alex Iwobi.

    Fulham’s Premier League status for 2024–25 is guaranteed as a result of snapping a three-game losing streak in the top flight. They can now relax as they cruise to the finish line in 12th place, two points behind Brighton & Hove Albion in the top half despite having played one more game.

    At the London Stadium, both of the Cottagers’ goals were scored by Andreas Pereira. He capitalised on a mistake made by Dinos Mavropanos to shoot high into the net during the first half. He made an untracked run into the area in the second half to finish off a low cross from Alex Iwobi.

    Fulham’s elimination from the top division after a three-game losing streak guarantees them a spot in the Premier League for 2024–25. Now that they have played one more game, they can rest easy as they easily cross the finish line in 12th position, two points behind Brighton & Hove Albion in the top half.

    After competing in Europe for the last time under Jurgen Klopp, Liverpool will visit mid-table Fulham on Sunday to continue

    Liverpool’s 1-0 victory over Atalanta BC in the second leg of their Europa League final proved irrelevant in the larger scheme of things, as La Dea easily moved to the last four thanks to last week’s incredible 3-0 Anfield carnage. It was a case of winning the battle but losing the war.

    After Mohamed Salah’s early penalty gave the men in red hope for yet another incredible European comeback, the Egyptian lost a great opportunity to cut the deficit even further, and Jurgen Klopp’s team, like the manager himself, admitted when he announced his departure, just ran out of steam in the second half.

    The way Liverpool played in the first half of the match in Bergamo should have given them hope, especially in light of the humiliating 1-0 Premier League home loss to Crystal Palace last weekend, which marked the Reds’ first Premier League loss at Anfield in 18 months thanks to a goal from Eberechi Eze.

    But with leaders Manchester City playing in the FA Cup and Arsenal, who trail only on goal differential, having a difficult away game against Wolverhampton Wanderers, Liverpool could put a smile back on their supporters’ faces at Craven Cottage, where a win might be enough to catapult them to the top for a little while.

    The Reds’ inability to score in seven halves of play may worry some people, but Silva’s team gave Klopp’s team a great run for their money when they defeated Fulham 4-3 at Anfield in December’s Premier League match and 3-2 over two legs in the EFL Cup semifinals.

    Team News 

    After competing in Europe for the last time under Jurgen Klopp, Liverpool will visit mid-table Fulham on Sunday to continue

    With the exception of Fulham, who once again have a fully-fit squad for Liverpool’s visit, nineteen Premier League sides now have at least one injured player in the infirmary.

    Due to the amount of chances his squad produced last weekend, Silva will undoubtedly feel no need to change the winning recipe; therefore, Harry Wilson should be content to start on the bench against his former team.

    Sunday will see the highly-motivated Rodrigo Muniz attempt to snap a three-game goal drought, while London Stadium hero Pereira leads the charge as the number ten. Pereira became the first player from the Cottagers to score twice in an away Premier League London derby since Dimitar Berbatov did so against Arsenal in 2012.

    Although there is a noticeable amount of space in the Liverpool treatment room, Ben Doak (knee), Joel Matip (knee), and Thiago Alcantara (muscle) are still out of the team, and Conor Bradley (ankle) will need a few weeks to heal from his injury from last weekend.

    Stefan Bajcetic’s availability is also in doubt because the 19-year-old, who just returned from a calf issue for the Under-21s last Friday, was unable to travel to Bergamo. Klopp also acknowledged after Thursday’s victory that Trent Alexander-Arnold and Alexis Mac Allister were both playing below par.

    As a result, Wataru Endo and Joe Gomez ought to get ready for calls back to the starting lineup, while Darwin Nunez and Diogo Jota, who are at different ends of the big chances converted spectrum, ought to bolster the attacking triad.

    Possible starting lineup for Liverpool: Elliott, Endo, Szoboszlai; Salah, Nunez, Jota; Alisson; Gomez, Quansah, Van Dijk, Robertson

    Fulham possible starting lineup:
    Pereira, Willian; Muniz  Leno; Castagne, Adarabioyo, Bassey, Robinson; Palhinha, Lukic; Iwobi

    Prediction: Liverpool 1-1 Fulham

    Fulham’s home defensive record this season is better only by Man City, Arsenal, and Liverpool; in their previous 15 Craven Cottage games, the Cottagers have conceded less goals per game on average. Silva’s team has already taken Liverpool to three different ends of the pitch in 2023–24.

    The Reds haven’t scored from open play in more than five hours. Although Klopp may offset Europa League weariness with a number of substitutions, we can see Fulham, the host team’s specialists, holding out for a point to severely hurt their opponents’ title hopes.

     

  • The main cause of Liverpool’s dreadful week was emerged 

    The main cause of Liverpool’s dreadful week was emerged 

    The main cause of Liverpool's dreadful week was emerged 

    Liverpool has dropped points in the Premier League championship chase and is headed for an exit from the Europa League quarterfinals after losing twice and drawing once in the previous eight days.

    After a 2-2 draw with Manchester United on Sunday, Jurgen Klopp’s team lost badly, 3-0, to Atalanta in the first leg of their Europa League quarterfinal match.

    Then, on Sunday afternoon, Crystal Palace’s goal from Eberechi Eze was sufficient to give them a thrilling 1-0 victory over Liverpool.

    Liverpool now sits third in the Premier League standings and needs to overcome a three-goal deficit to advance to the next round of the European Cup.

    The Reds’ finishing in front of goal was a major concern against Man United and Crystal Palace, and it was also a problem against Atalanta.

    The main issue facing Liverpool
    Liverpool has amassed 9.14 xG in their last three games, but they have only managed three goals. Their poor finishing may have cost them two trophies.

    Liverpool’s lack of creativity over the previous week has been unexpected given the abundance of great forwards they have on their roster, but this little error might have put an end to the Reds’ hopes of winning the Premier League and Europa League during Klopp’s farewell tour.

    The main cause of Liverpool's dreadful week was emerged 

    Although Liverpool had a number of excellent chances to put the game out of sight in the second half, Palace deserves praise for their heroic last-ditch defending at Anfield. But in their pursuit of their second Premier League title ever, they lost three crucial points due to their wastefulness in front of goal.

    It’s interesting to note that Liverpool lost its first two games at Anfield—against Atalanta and Crystal Palace—to teams that employed the 3-4-2-1 formation. Liverpool was just too simple to play through in both games, and Atalanta and Crystal Palace revelled in launching quick assaults.

    Liverpool has had an incredible season thus far, but their terrible finishing is a major problem, and their two losses against teams who use a back three raise tactical concerns. They might even lose out on this campaign’s quest for cutlery as a result.

    Transfers from Liverpool: 32-year-old getting ready to quit Reds while awaiting a medical

    An eight-year team veteran is expected to leave Liverpool during the summer transfer window. His only separation from an exit is a medical.

    An eight-year team veteran is expected to leave Liverpool during the summer transfer window. His only separation from an exit is a medical.

    Joel Matip has been offered to Fenerbahce by his agents, according to Turkish publication Sabah. The defender’s contract expires at the end of the current campaign, and this rumour claims Liverpool will not extend it.

    Fenerbahce is interested in signing him, which creates an opening. But before any settlement is made, there’s a clear standoff.

    Matip is not likely to play again this season after suffering an ACL tear months ago. He should be back to normal by June, but nobody can promise that until they have a medical report.

    Fenerbahce will therefore have to wait for the findings of a report before making a formal bid for Matip. Everything else depends on his fitness, even if it is commonly anticipated that he will depart Liverpool at the end of his contract.

    Joel Matip is headed out of Liverpool.

    Matip is leaving with a heavy heart, and it’s completely unwarranted. Given his advanced age and the uncertainty surrounding his long-term fitness, we do believe he will depart, but things really shouldn’t be this way.

    Being one of Jurgen Klopp’s first signings and coming on a free transfer, Matip has been an amazing helper. Fewer signings have been better, and perhaps none better financially.

    However, the manager’s change solidifies the departure. We’re not sure if Matip needs to sign a new contract on such harsh terms, but we wonder what would happen if he did.

    If Matip can demonstrate his fitness, many teams will be willing to take a chance on him because of his excellent calibre throughout the previous eight seasons. He should be able to make a wise move, and hopefully he will

    Pundit has been informed of who Liverpool players at 'want' to succeed Jürgen Klopp instead of Rúben Amorim.

    After Jürgen Klopp, the Liverpool players are said to have a choice for their future manager. It may be the overwhelming favourite right now, but it’s not Rúben Amorim.

    It goes without saying that Liverpool will want to move quickly to name a new manager. Following a crushing Europa League first-leg loss, it’s becoming more and more likely that Jürgen Klopp will only have eight games remaining in his managerial role, therefore speculation about his successor is beginning to grow.

    Of course, this season still has a lot to play for, not the least of which being the Premier League championship. It would be the perfect way to send Klopp out to the public to win that, making the campaign a huge success regardless of results in other tournaments. The manager will continue to have faith in his ability to win the match against Atalanta in the meantime.

    However, Michael Edwards, the head of football at FSG, will undoubtedly be searching in the background despite everything else going on. Liverpool does not want to be caught off guard when Klopp does eventually leave, but they also do not want to miss out on these final weeks of his leadership.

    In light of Xabi Alonso’s choice to remain in his current position, Rúben Amorim has become the apparent favourite. Although the Sporting manager maintains he has not made a deal with Liverpool or any other team, he is still the front-runner to take over at Anfield.

    But he’s not the only choice. Furthermore, analyst Alan Brazil feels that the Liverpool team does not support him.

    Pundit has been informed of who Liverpool players at 'want' to succeed Jürgen Klopp instead of Rúben Amorim.

    During his appearance on the TalkSPORT Breakfast Show, Brazil reiterated a previous statement. According to him, the players desire Pep Lijnders, Klopp’s assistant, to take over as manager.

    He responded, “I’ll stick by Klopp’s understudy, Pep,” when questioned about the upcoming Liverpool manager. “That’s who I am told the players want.”

    The news of Lijnders’ leaving was released concurrently with Klopp’s. When Klopp called it a day, he always intended to leave Liverpool, he revealed to the team website:

    “I’ve always stated that I will work with Jürgen until the point at which I can no longer help anyone else; at that point, I will go and handle things. That has always been the situation. So when we talked, it was obvious to me: “Okay, then I go manage, and we finish this project that we started together.”

    Of course, Lijnders would have to make a choice if Klopp’s job was up for grabs. However, the announcement made in January seemed to intentionally draw a line under that possibility almost immediately.

    According to Liverpool.com, player opinions are clearly significant. However, the statistics will guide Edwards and the newly appointed sporting director Richard Hughes in their hunt for Klopp’s successor.

    There isn’t much to evaluate regarding Lijnders. rating an assistant is arguably harder than rating a manager, and his one brief solo tenure in the Netherlands did not go well. Only a few months later, he was back in Liverpool.

    However, Mikel Arteta clearly demonstrates the advantages of taking a chance like this. Lijnders, who would continue Liverpool’s long-standing “boot room” tradition, would also be the candidate for continuity. Yet, despite what Alan Brazil has been informed, it would require a dramatic reversal of course to name him today.

    Stars are expected to depart as Liverpool advised over “Fergie-style” reject warning after Jurgen Klopp.

    Regarding

    After nine years as manager, Jurgen Klopp will depart Liverpool at the end of the current campaign. The Reds have already been given a preview of what their future may hold given Manchester United’s current circumstances.

    Liverpool has been told that if Jurgen Klopp leaves this summer, they would see a fall akin to that of Manchester United.

    After nine years as the Reds’ manager, Klopp will step down from his position at Anfield at the end of the current campaign. He has made them into one of the top teams in English football during that time.

    They have won the FA Cup, League Cup, Champions League, and Premier League under his direction, and this season they are expected to win an additional three titles. It’s a winning run of form reminiscent of Sir Alex Ferguson’s heyday at United.

    Ferguson announced his retirement in 2013, and the Red Devils haven’t won the championship since. In that time, they have had five managers, and Erik ten Hag, the most recent, doesn’t seem to be getting them back to the top of the standings.

    John Arne Riise fears that if Klopp leaves, his former squad may experience the same fate. The Norwegian, who helped Liverpool win the Champions League, has issued a warning that some of the team’s best players might leave with Klopp.

    “Once Klopp leaves, there’s always a chance of a Fergie-esque collapse. That’s risky all the time. Will every player stay when the manager leaves? Who is entering?” To BoyleSports, Riise said.

    “Players value that connection much; will they stick around if he leaves? When a new management takes over, will they still hold the same beliefs? The boss need not always be at fault.

    “If the players simply don’t feel the same way about them. The appointment of the club’s future manager is therefore crucial. Therefore, it’s not just a matter of who gets appointed but also who stays? Now that Klopp has departed, who will tell their agent they want to leave?”

    Stars are expected to depart as Liverpool advised over "Fergie-style" reject warning after Jurgen Klopp.
    John Arne Riise has expressed concern Regarding his former club

    Xabi Alonso was the front-runner to succeed Klopp, but he eliminated himself from consideration last month. As Alonso is definitely not going to take Klopp’s place, Riise has Liverpool’s hot seat picked for Brighton manager Roberto De Zerbi.

    “Where Liverpool wants to go will determine who manages the team going forward. I adore Brighton’s De Zerbi’s work. Because he’s so committed to being himself, he would fit right in,” Riise continued.

    “He stays the same and follows his own path. Seeing him in Liverpool would be wonderful. It all depends on the path they wish to take, and Klopp’s respect for De Zerbi also plays a part.

    “Manager Klopp will in some way give the club some insight into how to move forward and who to rely on. I think De Zerbi is one of the most qualified people, so I’m looking forward to that. ing” “

    Ruben Amorim turned down four Premier League positions, saying he “agrees Liverpool deal.”

    Ruben Amorim turned down four Premier League positions, saying he "agrees Liverpool deal."

    After Jurgen Klopp leaves as manager of Liverpool at the end of the current campaign, Sporting chief Ruben Amorim, who has long been linked to a move to the Premier League, has reportedly agreed to take over as manager.

    After being a candidate for several other Premier League positions, Sporting manager Ruben Amorim has emerged as the front-runner to succeed Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool.

    Sporting is in a strong position to win the championship this season after the 39-year-old led them to their first league title in 19 years in 2021. With a game remaining, Sporting leads their closest opponents, Benfica, by four points at the moment.

    Ahead of Sporting’s 2-1 victory against Benfica on Saturday, Amorim reportedly refused to commit to staying at Sporting despite having inked a deal in principle to take over at Liverpool the following season, according to Sky Germany.

    Ahead of Sporting’s 2-1 victory against Benfica on Saturday, Amorim reportedly refused to commit to staying at Sporting despite having inked a deal in principle to take over at Liverpool the following season, according to Sky Germany.

    “No, I can’t promise that I will stay. I made a commitment, and I can’t take it back. I will be leaving Sporting if we do not win titles. It was obvious right away that this was the wager I gave the players. “We must achieve titles,” he declared.

    Ruben Amorim turned down four Premier League positions, saying he "agrees Liverpool deal."

    Amorim has garnered praise from the football community for his outstanding job at Sporting and has previously been connected to several elite Premier League teams. In 2022, Aston Villa thought he would be able to take Steven Gerrard’s place.

    He was hesitant to leave Sporting while they were still in the Champions League, though, so Villa ultimately hired Unai Emery in his place, and the former Arsenal manager did a fantastic job.

    Amorim was also associated with managerial openings at Chelsea and Tottenham in the summer of last year, following the dismissals of Graham Potter and Antonio Conte, respectively. However, in an interview with Diario de Noticias, he openly declared himself out of the competition for both positions.

    He insisted, “I’m not looking for anything.” “In addition, I want to cherish my possessions rather than what other people say. And it’s been said a lot… As I’ve previously stated, Sporting is even aware of my contacts with other teams, but I’ve always wanted to stay because I enjoy being at Sporting.”

    In the end, Spurs raided Celtic for Ange Postecoglou, while Chelsea appointed Mauricio Pochettino. Amorim was linked to Manchester United later that year as a result of Erik ten Hag’s subpar season opening performance.

    When questioned about the allegations, Amorim insisted that United had not yet approached him, but he did not rule out a possible move to Old Trafford. He does, however, seem to be close to making a Premier League move as Liverpool and Sporting are currently negotiating his exit clause.

    Rodrygo, a forward for Real Madrid, has disclosed how, seven years ago, he was on the verge of joining Liverpool as a teenager.

    Due to Kylian Mbappe’s presence at the Bernabeu, the Brazilian was speculatively connected to a possible £86 million move to Liverpool this summer.

    Rodrygo would be open to leaving the Spanish city if Real welcomes another Brazilian sensation, Endrick, to further intensify competition for spots in their attack.

    Arsenal, Liverpool, and both Manchester teams are reportedly keeping an eye on the situation, but they are aware that a deal would only be feasible if Real Madrid listed the player for sale or if the player requested to transfer.

    The 23-year-old now disclosed how close he was to signing with Liverpool in 2017 in a new interview with the Guardian—for a mere €3 million!

    “I didn’t want to close the deal, so we didn’t,” he said.

    “Even though the offer was very good, I wanted to stay at Santos.” The professional path they had assured me of would have been excellent as well. In order to get ready for European football, I intended to complete my education in England.

    Rodrygo would have only been sixteen at the time, so maybe staying in his native country made sense.

    “Playing in Europe has always been my dream,” he said after spending €40 million to join Real Madrid two years later.

    “Everything was excellent, but my yearning was more audible. My intention was to remain at Santos and create some history with the club. That’s exactly what transpired: I was able to realise my ambition of representing Santos. I did, however, come close to visiting Liverpool.

    A possible Salah replacement?

    Rodrygo, a forward for Real Madrid, has disclosed how, seven years ago, he was on the verge of joining Liverpool as a teenager.

    It’s intriguing that Liverpool looked to recruit a “wonderkid” from Brazil because supporters have been saying they ought to be doing that more frequently, like Real and Man City have lately.

    With 15 goals and eight assists for Real this season, the adaptable attacker may eventually be considered as Mo Salah’s replacement at Anfield.

    Rodyrgo, a pillar of the Brazil national team, has the build to take Salah’s place, and at 23, he still has plenty of development ahead of him.

    His current contract expires in 2028; he signed a new one last year. One to watch out for, maybe.

    The Liverpool pair must play carefully in their next three games or risk missing two games.

    During a crucial period of the season, two Liverpool players could be suspended before the Premier League expunges their records

    The Liverpool pair must play carefully in their next three games or risk missing two games.

    During a crucial period of the season, two Liverpool players could be suspended before the Premier League expunges their records once more.

    According to Premier League regulations, a player receives two match bans in the same league if they receive 10 bookings in their first 32 Premier League games. Yellow cards do not transfer to domestic cup tournaments.

    But for the latter stretch of the run-in, the players’ slates will be cleared following the 32nd gameweek.

    There are still three games left until that amnesty, so two Liverpool players will need to be extra careful how they behave in the next games.

    The suspension risk for Liverpool

    With squad availability already being such a problem for Jurgen Klopp this season, Wataru Endo and Darwin Nunez are the players most at risk of receiving an unwelcome ban after receiving eight yellow cards between them for the season.

    During a crucial period of the season, two Liverpool players could be suspended before the Premier League expunges their records

    Before they may unwind a little, the two must prevent receiving two more yellow cards apiece in the games against Crystal Palace (14/4), Manchester United (7/4) and Sheffield United (4/4).

    Depending on when it is acquired, a two-game suspension might mean that one or both of them miss the Merseyside derby at Goodison Park on 24/4.

    This season, both players have emerged as essential members of Jurgen Klopp’s squad: Nunez has established himself as the go-to central attacker when healthy, while Endo has surprised everyone by becoming the unwavering pillar in midfield.

    The Uruguayan has not received a booking in any of his previous four league games, maybe demonstrating self-control in an effort to avoid getting suspended. Though Endo has only received three in his previous six, yellow cards are more of a workplace risk for defensive midfielders.

    Although Liverpool supporters are anxiously awaiting the conclusion of the 32nd gameweek, positive news regarding the team’s returning stars is imminent.

    On Wednesday, Klopp disclosed that four players—Alisson Becker, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Diogo Jota, and Stefan Bajcetic—are getting close to rejoining the club.

    The incredible off-field earnings of Liverpool star Mohamed Salah are disclosed in new records.

    Mohamed Salah is a Liverpool winger and Egypt international, but he has several more sources of income outside of football.

    Mohamed Salah is a Liverpool winger and Egypt international, but he has several more sources of income outside of football.

    Mohamed Salah, a top player for Liverpool, has made a significant profit from his business, according to new paperwork.

    After agreeing to a lucrative new contract with Liverpool in 2022, Salah, 31, already makes about £400,000 per week. This is due to his status as one of the Premier League’s greatest players after joining from Italian club Roma in 2017. However, the Egyptian winger’s income comes from sources more than merely the ball at his feet; his profits off the pitch also add to his fortune.

    In June 30, 2023, ‘Salah UK Commercial’ released their most recent financial statement, which shows that they made little over £5.4 million after taxes. The 31-year-old’s business ventures have flourished after he recovered an incredible £27 million through business transactions in just three years.

    Now that amount has surpassed £33 million, Salah will be able to use it as a nest egg in the future.

    According to the most recent filings, the Egypt captain, who also has partnerships with Pepsi, Adidas, Uber, and Vodafone, made £11 million from personal sponsorships alone in the previous tax year.

    Salah might have made even more money in his upcoming financial statements if Liverpool had chosen to sell him for £200 million last summer.

    Al-Ittihad, the reigning Saudi Arabian champions, reportedly offered him a deal worth an incredible £175 million a year in an attempt to make him the latest famous player to relocate to the Middle East.

    Mohamed Salah is a Liverpool winger and Egypt international, but he has several more sources of income outside of football.

    The most recent accounts of Mohamed Salah, via Companies House

    Although Salah is still one of Liverpool’s most vital players, his current contract expires in June 2025, therefore the Reds will need to plan for life without him.

    Salah’s future has come under scrutiny once more since manager Jurgen Klopp has decided to depart the team at the end of this season.

    Even with the rumours swirling and Saudi Arabia’s desire not abating, the attacker is adamant that Klopp’s exit will not affect his future at Anfield. “No, not at all. Life goes on. In an earlier this month interview with Sky Sports, Salah said to Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher, “It’s part of life now.”

    “Everything is in motion. The players have already departed from the club. Players of great importance left the team. The club also values the manager greatly, but he is departing. I will eventually leave the club, but it won’t affect my future because of Klopp’s departure.”

    When Salah was rumoured to be joining a Saudi Pro League team back in November, Klopp responded, saying, “Mo is here, Mo never came to me and wanted to go.” To be honest, I didn’t give it a second thought—should we sell or not, or anything else.”

    Ruben Amorim reacts to comments made by Jose Mourinho, saying, "It makes no sense," as Liverpool links persist.

    One of the top candidates to succeed Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool is Ruben Amorim.

    In the wake of intense speculation that the Sporting CP manager may follow Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool, Ruben Amorim has rejected the moniker “Special One 2” bestowed upon him by certain English media outlets.

    After former front-runner Xabi Alonso declared he would be staying at Bayer Leverkusen for the 2024–2025 season, the 39-year-old became the overwhelming favourite to take over as the next manager at Anfield. Alonso had brought the German team dangerously close to winning their first Bundesliga championship.

    Amorim is currently the subject of increased attention in England; some have even dubbed the Portuguese manager “the Special One 2.” Amorim recently informed the media he was focused on Sporting and extremely glad to be there.

    However, the nickname that compares the former Benfica player to fellow Portuguese coach Jose Mourinho has been rejected by the player. The Portuguese remarked, “I have no illusions about it and it makes no sense.” “I still recall how everyone last year speculated about my potential departure from Sporting.

    “The coach of Sporting and the legendary Jose Mourinho are not comparable.”

    With a game remaining, Sporting leads second-place Benfica by one point, and Amorim looks set to lead the team to a second Primeira Liga championship.

    Mourinho would have equaled his total with two league titles in Portugal. Naturally, Mourinho also enjoyed great success in Europe with Porto, when he won the Champions League in 2003–04 and the UEFA Cup in 2002–03.

    On the strength of this, “the Special One” left for England. “Please don’t call me arrogant, but I’m European champion and I think I’m a special one,” Mourinho remarked at his Chelsea unveiling.

    When asked if he finds it bothersome that there is talk of him joining Liverpool before of Sporting’s match against Benfica in the second leg of the Taça de Portugal semifinal, Amorim had a lighthearted response. “The only thing that annoys me is that Sporting had someone else play my position,” he said in jest. “I told [Hugo] Viana, Sporting’s director of football, to take it easy even today.”

    Amorim did defeat Borussia Dortmund in the group stage of the 2021/22 Champions League, so he does have some European experience. The next season, in the same competition, his Sporting team eliminated Arsenal from the Europa League after finishing third in their Champions League group and defeating and drawing with Tottenham Hotspur.

    Liverpool would have to pay Sporting’s rumoured €20 million (£17 million) release clause in order to get the highly regarded tactician before 2026.

    According to the most recent filings, the Egypt captain, who also has partnerships with Pepsi, Adidas, Uber, and Vodafone, made £11 million from personal sponsorships alone in the previous tax year.

    Salah might have made even more money in his upcoming financial statements if Liverpool had chosen to sell him for £200 million last summer.

    Al-Ittihad, the reigning Saudi Arabian champions, reportedly offered him a deal worth an incredible £175 million a year in an attempt to make him the latest famous player to relocate to the Middle East.

    Mohamed Salah is a Liverpool winger and Egypt international, but he has several more sources of income outside of football.

    Although Salah is still one of Liverpool’s most vital players, his current contract expires in June 2025, therefore the Reds will need to plan for life without him.

    Salah’s future has come under scrutiny once more since manager Jurgen Klopp has decided to depart the team at the end of this season.

    Even with the rumours swirling and Saudi Arabia’s desire not abating, the attacker is adamant that Klopp’s exit will not affect his future at Anfield. “No, not at all. Life goes on. In an earlier this month interview with Sky Sports, Salah said to Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher, “It’s part of life now.”

    “Everything is in motion. The players have already departed from the club. Players of great importance left the team. The club also values the manager greatly, but he is departing. I will eventually leave the club, but it won’t affect my future because of Klopp’s departure.”

    When Salah was rumoured to be joining a Saudi Pro League team back in November, Klopp responded, saying, “Mo is here, Mo never came to me and wanted to go.” To be honest, I didn’t give it a second thought—should we sell or not, or anything else.”

    Fans of Liverpool receive a shocking morning update from Fabrizio Romano.

    It is now believed that Real Madrid is “monitoring” Trent Alexander-Arnold due to his unresolved Liverpool contract problem.

    The relevant information was posted by Fabrizio Romano on X, formerly Twitter. The fullback’s current contract is scheduled to end in the summer of 2025.

    Although the player’s mental state is still unknown, the Merseysiders are unwilling to part with their vice captain.

     

    This summer, is Trent Alexander-Arnold going to be sold?

    Nothing in football is guaranteed, of course, but we don’t think there’s a possibility in hell that our No. 66 will swap Liverpool red for Madrid white.

    Now that the club has separated the two key positions of sports director (in Richard Hughes) and CEO of football (in Michael Edwards) with FSG, the 25-year-old’s problem should be settled soon Though the latter’s most essential assignment before formally joining the club on June 1 will be obtaining the services of Jurgen Klopp’s replacement.

    Virgil van Dijk, Mo Salah, Trent, and others need to have new contracts arranged as the next top priority.

    Recent Liverpool manager searches and the three main attributes they are looking for

    While nobody wants to consider life without Jurgen Klopp, the club is forced to consider such options as they look for his replacement, and three names keep coming up.

    With 15 games remaining during Klopp’s tenure, Liverpool still has two Premier League and Europa League trophies up for grabs.

    While everyone else concentrates on capping this campaign with a bang, the search for the next manager continues behind closed doors. He will leave the club in the best possible position.

    As of right now, the former Red Alonso is still the front-runner to fill the position, followed by Xabi Alonso, Roberto De Zerbi of Brighton, and Ruben Amorim of Sporting.

    They have a lot in common, and Liverpool “want a young manager who can grow at the club, and also someone who plays attacking football and has a strong personality,” according to Lewis Steele of the Mail.

    They no longer require a revolutionary manager who can propel the team back to the top; instead, they need someone who can build on Klopp’s departure and propel Liverpool to even higher levels.

    Liverpool is mindful of Alonso’s current work and will wait, but they “will fight” for him despite Germany’s conviction that he will be joining Bayern Munich.

    Although there isn’t as much commotion around Richard Hughes as there is around Alonso or Amorim, the new sports director is a recognised admirer of De Zerbi’s work and tried to sign the Italian player some years ago at Bournemouth.

    Since data will undoubtedly be used in Liverpool’s hunt, Amorim is a candidate to watch in that regard and is weighed highly.

    De Zerbi holds the distinction of being the oldest at 44, yet all three fit the description of “young manager,” being no older than 45.

    With 109 and 117 goals thus far this season, respectively, neither Alonso, 42, nor Amorim, 39, have seen their team lack goals; in contrast, Klopp’s Liverpool have 120 goals through ten games in 2023–2024.

    Given the responsibilities a Liverpool manager will have to fulfil, the personality test will be equally crucial. However, comparing them to Klopp would be unfair because it would set an extremely unachievable bar.

    It won’t be until the end of the season that the manager search is expected to make any substantial headway.

    Liverpool fans can rejoice because a vital player will be back in the starting lineup next week.

    Liverpool fans can rejoice because a vital player will be back in the starting lineup next week.

    The good news for Liverpool is that Ibrahima Konate is expected to start for France against Chile on Tuesday night.

    L’Equipe claims that the centre back, who has been sidelined due to injury for the past few weeks, is prepared to play in the friendly.

    The defender was substituted out during Liverpool’s Europa League first-leg match against Sparta Praha. Since then, he has missed a number of important games for the Reds, including their FA Cup loss to Man United last week.

    Prior to their match against Brighton at Anfield on Sunday, Liverpool supporters will be eager to see him return in the starting lineup, but the French player must win against Chile first.

    How significant is Ibrahima Konate to Liverpool?

    Given that the match against Chile is merely a friendly, Liverpool supporters will be hopeful that Konate survives. The centre back, who has played in 32 games for the Merseyside team this season, is an important member of Liverpool’s team.

    It is no coincidence that the Reds have only triumphed in one of the three games in which the 24-year-old defender has missed due to injury. Klopp prefers the 24-year-old to combine with Virgil van Dijk.

    With a few difficult games remaining and the desire to cap off his tenure at Anfield as best he can, the German coach will need everyone healthy for the last stretch.
