Liverpool
Liverpool finally receives an answer, after a protracted search for Chelsea’s star player.

Due to ongoing worries about Financial Fair Play, it is thought that Chelsea may accept bids for their players this month. Liverpool has now received a response following their pursuit of one highly-rated Blues ace.
The West Londoners have suffered as a result of Todd Boehly’s generosity; the best example of this may be found in the players’ fire sale that occurred last summer.
There may have been rumours that the club was eager to cash in on Conor Gallagher, the current captain, but it appears that they are still having problems.
It appears that Levi Colwill, another England international, is a target for Jurgen Klopp to sign when he returns to Stamford Bridge.
However, TeamTalk sources claim that there is now no possibility of the club selling him to their Premier League rivals.
Even if Klopp might take a hit from that, Liverpool is currently leading the Premier League and, injuries notwithstanding, may be able to function without the 20-year-old.
It will be fascinating to see if Colwill feels pressured to go to the north after 2023–2024, especially if the Reds have won another Premier League title and the Blues have been struggling.
It is obvious that such a move wouldn’t be inexpensive either, therefore Liverpool might start to consider FFP once more at that time.

Liverpool’s full injury list including Trent Alexander-Arnold among 10 players out
Let’s see what each of our current absentees is up to as Liverpool has had numerous fitness concerns thus far this season.
Prior to this past weekend’s winter break, the Reds were given a rare three weeks off from Premier League action as focus shifted to the domestic competitions.
Jurgen Klopp’s team will next play Bournemouth, but the manager will still be missing several of his most important senior players for the trip down the south coast.
The manager will face more challenges when league play returns than just injuries, since Wataru Endo and Mohamed Salah have already started their Asian Cup and AFCON campaigns, respectively.
Given the calibre of the teams they are playing for, it is likely that they will both go to the competition finals. In that case, their scheduled return date is February 17 at Brentford.
Before the interval, Trent Alexander-Arnold was the most recent player to be added to the list of casualties. He had sustained a “little tear in the lateral ligament of his knee,” which would likely keep him out of action for three weeks.
The vice captain will probably be sidelined for the next three games at the very least because of this; a realistic return date would be at home against Chelsea at the end of the month.
Dominik Szoboszlai sustained a hamstring injury during the 4-2 victory over Newcastle at home, but the midfield player made a suggestion last week that he “may” play against the Cherries on Sunday.
The midfield player is in a battle against time to make an unlikely comeback at Vitality Stadium as he did not train with the team on Wednesday.
Although left-backs Andy Robertson and Kostas Tsimikas are still out due to severe shoulder ailments, the former stated earlier this week that he is attempting to regain fitness by participating in “proper sessions” in Dubai.
After an injury-plagued season, it is hoped that Stefan Bajcetic and Thiago, two Spanish midfield players, will be able to resume training next month.
Joel Matip’s time in a Liverpool shirt may have come to an end after his December ACL injury.
The Cameroon defender’s season is over, and because his contract expires in the summer, it looks like his time at Anfield may have come to an unpleasant conclusion due to the injury.
Ben Doak’s comeback to the field is still uncertain following an unfortunate knee injury he sustained last month.
Here is the complete list of players Klopp currently lacks:
Dominik Szoboszlai(hamstring)
Trent Alexander Arnold (knee)
Mohamed Salah (AFCON)
Wataru Endo (Asian Cup)
Andy Robertson (shoulder)
Tsimikas Kostas (collarbone)
Thiago Hip
Stefan Bajcetic (growing pains)
Joel Matip (ACL)
Ben Doak (MCL)
Liverpool’s 25-man squad worked out on Wednesday.
Goalkeepers: Adrian, Kelleher, Misciur, Alisson
Defenders: Bradley, Phillips*, Quansah, Gomez, Van Dijk, Konate, Beck*, Scanlon, and Bradley
Midfielders: McConnell, Clark, Elliott, Jones, Gravenberch, and Mac Allister
Forwards: Gordon, Koumas, Kone-Doherty, Nunez, Jota, Gakpo, Diaz, and Gordon
