Mohamed Salah 'talks'
Media Digest: Liverpool could soon see another linked midfielder on the move. A complaint has been made about Mohamed Salah amid transfer rumors circulating.

Mohamed Salah talk

Liverpool have certainly felt the impact of the Saudi Pro League this summer. It would not be an exaggeration to say that the money-driven market disruption has completely changed plans at Anfield.

Indeed, Jürgen Klopp actually conceded as much when he discussed how Liverpool could afford their (unfortunate) offer from Moisés Caicedo, referring to the unexpected departures of both Fabinho and Jordan Henderson. While this brought in unlikely funds, it also increased the urgency for further recruitment.

The effect would be increased tenfold if Mohamed Salah were to change. His agent has come out and categorically denied any talks but the rumors persist and it is now claimed that Al-Ittihad are trying to reunite him with Fabinho.

According to Rudy Galetti on X, the Saudi team have approached Liverpool over Salah. The player is open to it, but does not force change and let the club decide. That would certainly see Salah stay there this summer without needing further disruption.

Importantly, the Egyptian hasn’t shown any real signs of decline either, which can’t be said for either Henderson or Fabinho. Still, Galetti claims ‘discussions between the teams are open’.

Another Liverpool 'target' on the move
It has been a brutal few days for Liverpool. Caicedo initially opted for Chelsea, now it looks like Romeo Lavia will follow. Now it looks like another unique Liverpool ‘target’ could make a move, although it will be a far less disappointing setback. According to Loïc Tanzi, who also reports on X, Napoli are in “very advanced” negotiations on the transfer of Gabri Veiga.

Crucial for Liverpool, the young Spaniard is not a number six. Mentioned as an exciting potential option for the Reds (Mundo Deportivo) at the start of the transfer window, his name disappeared from the limelight after Klopp signed both Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai.

While another young number eight would be a luxury and Veiga still looks in the cards, Liverpool’s priorities have changed significantly since the first encounters. With him on the verge of a $39m (£31m/€36m) move to Serie A, that won’t be on the cards at Anfield, where the search for a defensive midfielder is now almost anything is considered a setback.

Trent Alexander-Arnold sends a clear message to Liverpool Premier League rivals after Chelsea draw
Liverpool drew 1-1 against Chelsea in their first game of the Premier League season
Trent Alexander-Arnold has insisted that Liverpool view themselves as title challengers this season, despite few people supporting them to do so.

The majority expect Manchester City to retain their Premier League title this season, making them the first team to win England’s top flight for four consecutive years, with Arsenal as their closest rivals.

Liverpool’s lack of transfer market signings has left many hesitant to tip for the title, with a defensive midfielder and centre-back still missing from the squad. Sunday’s 1-1 draw against Chelsea exposed both areas. , with the Reds exposed on several occasions during the game at Stamford Bridge.

This performance may have done little to convince doubters that Klopp’s men are capable of challenging for the top spot, though Alexander-Arnold pays no heed to such predictions. Asked about the lack of outside belief that Liverpool can achieve the goal this season, the Reds right-back said: “It’s good for us.”

We have proven over the years that we can do it. We have a team full of winners, we just signed a player who won the World Cup [Mac Allister] and another who won in Germany [Szoboszlai].

“We have a winning mentality and our goal this season is to win the league. We won’t hesitate to do that, and neither should we. Our expectation is that we’ll be around by the end of the year. We look back on last season as a big disappointment, because with the quality of players we have, we should be fighting for the title every year.”

Trent Alexander-Arnold sends a clear message to Liverpool Premier League rivals after Chelsea draw
Calls to bring in new midfielders to Liverpool are only getting louder following the 1-1 draw with Chelsea, although Alexander-Arnold has admitted he is ready to step in on a permanent basis if asked to give up his defensive duties entirely .

“It’s something I’m really looking forward to and it’s something I’ll love to play, but it’s not my decision,” he told Sky Sports. “If and when this decision comes, I will learn on the job and try to make it work. We have to try to get as close to perfection as possible, and it’s difficult. There are times when we will lose the ball and it will be easier for Ibou [Konate] to move into right-back and for me into centre-back.

“I like to get things done, get on the ball and help my team win games. Doing it from a central box allows me to get out of reach more and play more from the center of the pitch, I’ve always been told in the last few seasons to press up so it’s easier to transition, but when they come down our left is way behind!”

Speaking of Chelsea’s performance, the 24-year-old added: “It was a difficult game. They made a lot of changes, but so did we. I think they had a point to prove today after a really bad season in their books and it was always going to be a tough place to come. Stamford Bridge, would you take a point from here to the start of the season and we’ll build on that.

“We got ready for them to start in a 4-3-3 formation, but they came up with a three-man defense or a five-man defense, whatever you want to call it. They made it difficult for us to play and pressed hard in the first 20 or 25 minutes we played. really good, but for some reason we couldn’t keep up and they took over the game.
