Hi all,
Alexis MacAllister's agent has been touting moves elsewhere - particularly conversing with one Florentino Perez. The player is keen to depart this summer but is yet to make a personal decision until after the World Cup.
The club are aware of interest from Real Madrid and are open to selling for the right price.

Literally been in Liverpool today visiting a client for work. (Not football related work). And a lot of people, especially around Concert Square where we had a few cheeky ones, were all saying Trent back to Liverpool. Anyone know of any truth in this.
I could see him personally wanting to com back even if he does not admit it with the signing of Dumfries knocking him further down the pecking order.
And him behind Diomande with his pace could be TAA & Salah take 2...
04 Jun 2026 16:49:05
No chance.
04 Jun 2026 16:50:29
He can sulk on the Madrid bench. He made his bed, he's gotta lie in it.
04 Jun 2026 16:57:20
He who is without sin etc etc... I'd have him back in a heartbeat.
04 Jun 2026 16:58:38
Going to cost Madrid 20 million to send him back.
04 Jun 2026 17:05:30
He was unbelievable for Jurgan but I don't think he suits our new manager.
04 Jun 2026 17:10:44
These rumours have been doing the rounds ever since he left. It's not happening. The lad's a lot more arrogant than he lets on; he's not scurrying back with his tail between his legs.
04 Jun 2026 17:13:22
Not happening.
04 Jun 2026 17:17:55
Anyone who doesn't want Trent back is so bitter they should be supporting Everton. They are also clueless about Liverpool, despite having watched them for years. Losing Trent was one of the biggest factors for the poor form last season. The whole team was affected, mostly Salah, who missed the long pass that got the ball to him early before the opposition had time to regain their shape.
A lot of the turgid passing around at the back was because, apart from VVD with the diagonal out to Salah, nobody else could beat the press with a quick accurate ball out to midfield. If Hughes and Edwards get the other recruitment right, I would go as far as to say that with Trent we would win the league. I'm sure Iraola would love him back and Trent would suit his system perfectly.
04 Jun 2026 17:24:01
He can't come back just yet... Has a Ballon d'Or to win over there...
04 Jun 2026 16:32:13
Contacted Leipzig over Diomande. A head of PSG as it stands.
04 Jun 2026 17:11:34
...Shoulders, knees, and toes.
04 Jun 2026 17:19:51
Chewy, tell the truth. You were a Lil' John fan back in the day, weren'tcha?
04 Jun 2026 16:17:33
Afternoon Gents
From what I've been told,
PSG think Diomande is too expensive, especially considering what options they already have.
The player likes PSG, he also likes LFC, this is just a media spin.
He hasn't agreed to join PSG, in fact, no official bid for him as of yet, from us, or PSG.
But I expect we will make the 1st move.
The player wants a deal done quickly, and so does LFC.
Cheers.
P.S. The transfer request from Gakpo is nonsense.
04 Jun 2026 16:48:54
Thanks, Robbo. He is an exciting player. Hopefully he joins.
04 Jun 2026 16:51:51
Any other wingers we're looking at if this doesn't materialise?
04 Jun 2026 16:52:36
Thanks, Robbo, it's posts like this that make this site incomparable to any other site out there. To you, and all the other regular ITK's, keep up the good work. It's appreciated by the majority. Thank you.
04 Jun 2026 16:53:47
Cheers Robbo, I must say I'm gutted the transfer request from Gakpo isn't genuine. He can be really good, but he's not an Iraola player.
04 Jun 2026 17:06:00
Thanks, Elnino. I was just about to ask the exact same thing. Is he worth the money or are there less risky alternatives, lads?
04 Jun 2026 17:12:31
Loely jubbly.
04 Jun 2026 17:16:43
I also think Diomande is expensive. We need 5-6 first team players this summer. Spending £100 million on one seems excessive.
04 Jun 2026 17:19:06
He looks a great player, but feel he's way overpriced.
04 Jun 2026 14:52:29
Not ITK in the slightest but the latest I’ve seen online are that PSG are more interested in Kroupi Jr and see him as a more viable financial option to Diomande. It appears they’re focusing more on Kroupi who is keen on the deal.
04 Jun 2026 16:03:13
Fantastic news if true! I know he's not cheap, but he's a seriously promising young talent. Lookin forward to seeing him in red!
04 Jun 2026 13:30:33
Hearing Mo Salha has been injured with the Egypt squad may miss World Cup.
04 Jun 2026 15:50:48
I hope that's not the case, would feel so bad for him if that happened. Same with Robbo, I hope he gets to lead his team out.
04 Jun 2026 15:51:17
Does Mo Salah mate with Mo Salha?
04 Jun 2026 16:13:44
Bazz, no, Mo Salah is very close with Sarah Salad though, but keep it quiet.
04 Jun 2026 17:20:57
Forgot to add Salam to that, Zed.
04 Jun 2026 13:30:03
Keep an eye on Matheus Fernandes from West Ham, interest in him and Scott along with Wharton in terms of the players in the league.
Imagine we might increase interest in Scott especially with Iraola coming in.
Also just a tid bit, I’ve heard we are close now to securing the young lad Eichhorn from Berlin, massive if so as Bayern are out of the race.
Player pathway for youth players at Liverpool seen as a massive factor, proof in Abe signing his contract they see Rio and the opportunities he was given and it helps massively.
City were pushing for Eichhorn too but no Guardiola is a massive dent to them along with questions over their overall future as a club with potential charges incoming.
Ken.
04 Jun 2026 13:10:20
Just heard from a friend of a very good friend, who is connected with the club in some way, Ireola intends to hijack Tottenham's verbal agreement of Senesi.
First real rumour post, but make of it what you will.
But it makes sense given Konate is off and Ireola knows him well.
04 Jun 2026 13:31:07
It's a no brainer with Konate leaving, and for balancing the books too.
04 Jun 2026 13:32:40
It does make sense, contracts expire at the end of June, so he could be poached.
04 Jun 2026 13:34:48
He's 29. It's not happening for me. We don't buy "older" players regardless of their connections to the incoming gaffer or not. But, I guess everything's a rumour until it's not.
04 Jun 2026 13:37:52
An eye for an eye.
04 Jun 2026 13:51:11
He is on a free.
04 Jun 2026 14:02:09
Hope you're right mate. Would be an ideal scenario for me. Bit of experience to help Jacquet and Leoni settle as well.
04 Jun 2026 14:07:17
Jim, Milner was also 29 and also a free, and that worked out pretty well. We do need some older heads.
04 Jun 2026 14:21:52
Gakpo handed in a transfer request...
04 Jun 2026 14:40:46
On a free at 29, could play 5 years at cab still. No brainer for us and him I'd say.
04 Jun 2026 14:49:46
In the current market, Senesi for zero transfer fee is a no-brainer. Spurs have just bid £70,000,000 for Van Hecke.
04 Jun 2026 14:23:59
Jimble, if we're only paying signing on fee and wages, it looks better on the balance sheet, and it's likely we can offer to pay him less than what Konate's parasites wanted the club to pay him.
04 Jun 2026 15:03:15
Gary Mac was 35 when he joined.
29 for a central defender is no age, he's just reached his peak. He's got 4 years left at this level.
04 Jun 2026 15:14:03
Omg imagine being 29 and you're too old. 😂
04 Jun 2026 16:08:32
Obviously, at 29 he's not a long term solution, but you have to consider the fact that there's a lot of work to be done, a lot of money to be spent, and with Mo, Robbo and Konate all leaving on a free, we have to do what we can to minimise spending this summer.
Not to mention we have Leoni and Jaquet coming through, so it's imperative to have some experience in the squad as the young lads establish themselves.
04 Jun 2026 16:15:00
Chewy, don't forget the next gen too - the 3 17-19 year old CBs who have joined/are joining.
I think Senesi on a free is a real no brainer to provide cover during the next season or two during a time of transition.
04 Jun 2026 16:22:24
Matip was a free. Senesi is just as equal and a left footer.
04 Jun 2026 16:21:28
Lofty, Konate's parasites are doing what they consider is the best for their client (and themselves). Why the bitterness or don't you do the best for yourself?
04 Jun 2026 16:27:09
Joel Matip style signings for me, one of Klopp's first, but what a signing, Sinese could be a similar masterstroke.
04 Jun 2026 16:39:23
Would be good. He's decent as a more experienced option with good distribution. You'd think in 2-3 years time Leoni and Jacquet would be fully established and we'd have the young kids breaking through.
Same age as Joe Gomez, no? But without the injury problems.
04 Jun 2026 17:22:17
007, Senesi isn't fit to carry Matip's toiletry bag, let alone shine his boots.
04 Jun 2026 12:28:48
Reports linking Gakpo with Ath Madrid for £50m going around this morning. Probably a good move for all if it happens. A given confidence in him has gone from the fan base.
04 Jun 2026 12:58:57.
Seems cheap tbh.
04 Jun 2026 13:02:09
I'm not sure it has Overkill. I think he's a good player and I know a lot of other fans who think the same. He just became a target for the negative element on social media because he's Dutch and Slot was Dutch too, so it was perceived as some kind of favouritism.
He had a poor season, but he's not alone in that.
The seasons before that he's scored and assisted some really important goals for us.
I think every player deserves a clean slate with a new manager, but if he wants to go then that's a different story. We should never keep hold of any player who wants to leave.
04 Jun 2026 13:03:44
Would leave us with just Rio as wide options, as Chiesa is surely gone. Liverpool 200.0.
04 Jun 2026 13:06:20
Some disruption to the forward line. I actually think Gakpo would do really well under Iraola. Hope he stays. Unless Julian Alvarez is coming the other way as part of the deal.
04 Jun 2026 13:07:52
Personally don't rate Gakpo, he's too predictable out left and non-existent up top.
04 Jun 2026 13:08:27
Is he best suited to Andoni's style or are there better profiles?
04 Jun 2026 13:16:40
Gakpo is one of the reasons we struggle against low blocks. He congests the middle, which leaves no space for Wirtz or Isak, and has no synergy with Kerkez.
04 Jun 2026 13:17:29
Bingo, FSW. He is a quality player technically, but I don't think he is the type of player who can play heavy metal footy.
04 Jun 2026 13:19:54
Front lines going to be new anyway, Gakpo remaining won't make much difference, everyone will be under a new coaching team too. If someone's offering £50 million in snapping their hand off.
04 Jun 2026 13:21:56
I'd love 50-60M + Gackpo for Alvarez. That would make so much sense. Probably throw in someone like Endo or Chiesa for good measure to seal it.
Could happen.
04 Jun 2026 13:26:45
I personally don't rate Gakpo in the slightest. If someone offered us £50 million for him, I'd accept before they'd even got to the add-ons and payment structure, then run for the hills and never look back.
04 Jun 2026 13:27:03
Kloppiche, we can't be complaining about having a bloated, overpaid squad if we're then pushing too hard on getting the highest fee.
For me, for someone on £250k/week wages and who cost us c£40m (give or take, not sure on achieved addons) and who I think most fans do not believe can thrive in a heavy metal football environment, £50m is a really, really good price for all parties.
I would take it, thank him for his 4 years here and wish him well.
04 Jun 2026 13:28:52
If we sell Gakpo, that leaves us with just Isak who can play CF. And he has a big question mark over his fitness, based on last season.
We already have a lot of survey needed on the squad.
This would add another wide player/forward to the shopping list, on top of the one or two we already need.
04 Jun 2026 13:36:50
Isn't Alvarez going to Barca?
Gakpo can go where he likes, imo, he'll be replaced. I was never a fan of his style of play, tbh, he's had some good moments and admittedly did impressive numbers in 24/25, but I find him immensely frustrating to watch, and have done since day 1.
I was never a fan, nothing to do with this season's performance, that only cemented it for me. I'd be happy to get £70m for him and bring in Diomande and Barcola.
04 Jun 2026 13:55:12
Fields, thank you always for the good news.
Are Diomande and other targets under negotiation?
Iraola's tactics remind me of heavy metal, but I can't wait to recruit new players and get their feet together.
04 Jun 2026 13:57:29
I hope he is sold fairly quickly.
04 Jun 2026 14:28:23
Navy Keith, it's arguable that 3 forwards are required before sales, as we're down to Isak, Gakpo, and Rio as likely starters. I'd like to include Chiesa, but he's not really been in the discussion since he joined.
04 Jun 2026 15:06:22
While I'm not a fan of Gakpo, he provides depth which we didn't have last year, so, if he goes, then we will worsen our depth without Ekitike for almost the entire year, without Salah (to be replaced), probably without Chiesa and with an injury prone striker in Isak.
The rumored business, if it is 50 million guaranteed, seems decent to me.
I know that people are saying it is cheap, but at the end, not many teams outside the Premier League can afford high transfer fees / wages.
The only teams outside Premier League clubs that could afford him that I can think of are PSG, Bayern, Real Madrid, Barcelona (before the issue with La Liga regarding transfers and their debt) and some Saudi clubs. Atletico Madrid and Juventus are like a second tier in that sense because they pay for players sometimes. Therefore, it would be hard to sell Gakpo, hence why 50 million is not that bad of a business.
04 Jun 2026 15:49:08
He's worth more than £50m. There seems to be a recent trend with our recruitment team overspending and underselling players. Keep him for added squad strength. We lack bodies at the moment.
04 Jun 2026 17:23:08
Thefields, So what was he playing under Klopp?
