Liverpool Transfer Rumours

25 Dec 2025 10:39:20
Federico Chiesa has been told if a suitable offer arrives for the player during the January window, he is free to leave the club.

24 Dec 2025 17:58:21
Hello all,

Liverpool have made initial contact with Man City over the potential signing of Omar Marmoush. No issues on player side.

24 Dec 2025 18:10:52
This seems so bizarre. Why would they sell him so shortly after he signed? Not criticising your claim btw, it just seems such an uncharacteristic transfer - the two clubs rarely ever trade.

Especially a player who has only been at the club a year- which isn’t a good sign for his quality either if Pep is happy to move him on so soon. Plus, it would help City buy Semenyo presumably.

24 Dec 2025 18:13:32
Sounds like an interesting one, there is certainly a player in there.

24 Dec 2025 18:16:16
oh wow! didn't see that coming. thanks for the info.

24 Dec 2025 18:18:35
So the latest intel is that we backed away from Semenyo because we got word that Man City are hawking Savinho and Marmoush to Spurs and Villa. We prefer Marmoush to Semenyo because of his excellent link up play with Ekitike at Frankfurt.

We think Marmoush prefers a move to us over Spurs but not sure if City will green light it.

Other news is that Braithwaite is our 1st choice for left sided centre back over Schlotterbeck and Bastoni.

24 Dec 2025 18:19:13
Woah, that would be an interesting switch.

24 Dec 2025 18:21:29
Won’t hold my breath.

24 Dec 2025 18:21:48
Bit nuts that wasn’t we linked with him before he went to them.

24 Dec 2025 18:36:53
Not April fools day yet.

24 Dec 2025 18:40:48
petethepool You do realise you're talking about Pep here?! He does have a reputation for moving on swiftly from players he doesn't see fitting his system.

This move makes a lot of sense for us, and fits the rumour that we may have given up on Semenyo as early as November. People have quickly forgotten there were rumours of interest last year. The guy has bags of potential, would be good move in my eyes, if the clubs could come to agreement considering the rivalry. That seems like the biggest obstacle. wouldn't be the first time a player went to a rival club though. Very interesting.

24 Dec 2025 19:11:09
Can’t see it personally and I’d actually prefer Semenyo as I think he has more variety to his game. Be interesting if City signing Semenyo was dependent on someone leaving… mind you probably means nothing for 115fc.

24 Dec 2025 19:12:02
Why sign City dross. Been completely found out this season. Plus, he’s at the AFCON so how would that remotely help us, would be a dumb signing all round.

24 Dec 2025 19:36:05
Could have said that about Salah. Why sign old Chelsea dross etc etc
Players can play better under different pressures and different systems. He played with Ekiteke at Frankfurt and Salah with Egypt. I can’t see it being a massive gamble if true. There’s a player in there.

24 Dec 2025 19:52:52
Yea afcon lasts until May doesn’t it?

Also pep doesn’t always get the best out of players. Julian Alvarez for example.

24 Dec 2025 19:59:43
As much as I would like to see this happen I don’t see why city would sell at this stage, Savinho perhaps but not Marmoush! More coming out that we stepped away from Semenyo a week ago and that’s when City came in to try get a deal done, club must have eyes on other higher priorities.

24 Dec 2025 20:03:53
He’s earning way too much at City for us to be interested. I think I read he was on close to 300k per week.

24 Dec 2025 20:23:30
Why the negativity? Omar Marmoush would be great signing for us. I doubt city would sell but let’s see what happens. Marmoush ekitike and Isak, not sure if it would work but would be frightening. Thanks VG, really hoping your info is spot on with this one!

24 Dec 2025 20:47:58
Marmoush is decent to be fair. Not as good a signing as Semenyo though. Homegrown, probably cheaper wages and pace and workrate galore as well as both footed. I like Marmoush but definitely plenty of risk attached.

But again the way we're playing lately can see why Semenyo isn't a fit. would be the ideal signing in the gegenpress system. Fingers crossed we see some return towards it at least tempo wise.

24 Dec 2025 21:19:26
I hope you’re right Victor. I really like Marmoush. He joined the wrong club in my opinion and his link up play with Ekitike would be great to see at the club. He’s a better technical footballer than Semenyo for sure, but Semenyo is unquestionably the better athlete.

I’d be very happy if Marmoush came in.

24 Dec 2025 21:30:42
When Salah played at Chelsea his career stalled - when he moved on it got back on track. When Marmoush moved to City, his career stalled.

I wonder if Marmoush and Salah are having a chat at AFCON .

24 Dec 2025 21:57:11
What’s the point of signing a player who won’t be available until likely the end of January? Even then, the comparison with Alvarez is entirely false. Alvarez hated living in England and wanted out. It wasn’t that Pep wanted rid. Marmoush is mediocre at best, not particularly rapid, not particularly skilful, certainly no physicality.

He is definitely not worth whatever City will want for him, with the worst of it being it’ll enable City to sign an actually decent winger in Semenyo.

24 Dec 2025 23:24:02
City are signing Semenyo either way so you need not worry about that.

And the point is you sign them for the long term, so 1 month does not matter.

24 Dec 2025 23:28:00
Because clubs don't sign players because of unavailability or availability for 3 weeks. They sign them for 4+ years. Nobody knows whether he will fit better or worse than AS within our squad but he's certainly not as poor a player as your alluding to VV. AS is currently flavour of the month. He's done well this season so far and I admire his attributes but like Marmoush he's a signing that may or may not suit us, nor perhaps City!, However, Pep can sign who he likes as it suits him and then jettison them within the space of 6 months if it suits him also.

We don't have that luxury. Barcola, like AS, and Alonso, is not happening so we must move on to another choice. I believe it's a good selection if true, especially if he WANTS to join our party. The real issue is not; not getting AS, instead, it's NOT getting Iraola. He's the best signing we could get and get NOW!

25 Dec 2025 01:54:44
Imagine if we sack off Semenyo to move for Marmoush without checking if his wages are actually reasonable😭 I wouldn’t put it past us at the moment.

25 Dec 2025 05:08:36
@Vic, the point of buying him might be that he will be available for us for the next five or six years.

OP, are you sure about the Braithwaite rumour? I thought he had retired - he hasn’t played for ages and I’m sure one of the Ed’s on here really rates the partnership of Tarks and that other one who was fighting with his team mate on the pitch.

25 Dec 2025 06:41:30
This is a very strange one.

Also, love how the "pain in the arse" is now playing as our main scout.

Love these types of stories!

25 Dec 2025 07:27:46
Anonymous Woolback He hasn't done enough to prove he's worth the money he's on so if he wants to further his career and play week in week out he'll have to take a wage cut.

25 Dec 2025 11:09:20
zero chance of this one.

24 Dec 2025 09:01:45
I haven't posted on here for a while and have a few updates.

We are giving Ibou an ultimatum this week to agree final terms on a contract extension.
We are going in for Guehi around £40m in Jan. This figure will work for both parties, huge fail from Hughes in Summer for not getting that across the line earlier, now we need to go higher and get it done earlier in the window to allow palace the time to replace him.
Trey Nyoni is expected to get more minutes soon to prep him for a larger role next season.
Also expecting more talk about Bastoni in the upcoming weeks, with a possible bid for him before the world cup in summer.

24 Dec 2025 09:18:54
If we were going to pay around 30m six months ago, why would give them 40m in January when he will be free in the summer? Makes no sense to me.

I know it's quite difficult to get players in January but if we can get another preferred target this January and persuade Guehi to join for free in the summer that would be perfect in my opinion.

24 Dec 2025 09:28:05
Hope you’re right on Bastoni.

Hope you’re wrong on Konate, It's time for he to go.

24 Dec 2025 10:02:28
Imagine if during the summer, Hughes and the stat men, would have bought Semenyo instead of Wirtz, J. Pedro Instead of Isak, not tolerated Ibu's nonsense and sold him to Carlisle United for aniseed twists and actual bought Marc Guehi instead of "negotiated to buy", realized that Salah needed an arse kicking and/ or an exit (never understood why they gave him a new contract and not just a "thanks for the memories, sorry your leaving" card) .

Actually watched Kerkez play rather that listened to the hype. and then bought anyone else instead. Looked at the muscle in the Prem and decided that Munoz was a far better option than Frimpong. We've become average on the pitch and below average in the office.

24 Dec 2025 10:25:31
You would swap Wirtz and Isak for Pedro and Semenyo? Lol.

24 Dec 2025 10:34:18
Semenyo instead of Wirtz - Wirtz all day for me. Wirtz is building up and starting to get to grips with premier league now which with hindsight I guess we all should have expected he would need some time.

Ekitike has been outstanding.

Isak is a fine player but injuries were always a risk. He has been shocking this season but he has been behind the fitness curve and injured all season. It was a high risk signing with injuries but hopefully he can spend. The rest of the season acclimatizing to the club once he recovers, hopefully bangs a few more goals and gets going next season.

I would not have signed Kerkez or Frimpong personally however they are here now and trying to improve. I would have gone for different fullbacks but would not write off these two after such a short period.

24 Dec 2025 10:37:36
@Funkster. Yes, All things considered, continuity, spending money in the right places for the right players that are ready to go, yes. I have no doubt that Wirtz will become a very good player IN TIME. I'd be happy to hear your reasoning, beyond your sound-bite, why you might not agree, you might be right!

24 Dec 2025 10:48:35
Nonsense post.

24 Dec 2025 10:59:02
I don’t think many on here would have chosen Pedro over Isak. Although Isak hasn’t set world alight he’s obviously a quality striker the kind of which we’ve been crying out for - only issue with his signing was the price.
Many on here were bemoaning when we were linked with semenyo in summer but were cheering when Wirtz was signed. For what we needed Wirtz was the better option, although again price was maybe a bit steep.

However if I was spending that kind of money I would have been pleased if we’d have followed up on reported links to Morgan Rodgers.
Now we have Isak and Wirtz it would help greatly is the manager would actually play to their strengths because I don’t think they (or anyone else) can show their best in the current style of play.

24 Dec 2025 11:01:11
VR you've started drinking very early today I see. 😂.

24 Dec 2025 11:06:33
João Pedro over isak wtf
What's with this obsession with players that will hit the ground running? Is it so imperative that we crush every team in sight and win every game? What if wirtz moved to city and in time became the new de bruyne or Silva? Are we so short of time and patience?

I feel fortunate that I could witness us win the title last year, and I feel fortunate that I can witness us build a team that will be in the uppermost echelons of world football, I feel confident that this will be the case.

And what do you mean 'actually watched kerkez play'? He was the best attacking full back in the league last year.

24 Dec 2025 11:59:17
All experts now. same people were delighted in the summer.

24 Dec 2025 12:30:32
If we’d signed Pedro and Semenyo instead of Isak and Wirtz we’d be a worse team. Isak is a better striker than both and Wirtz is a miles better attacking midfielder than both.

Sometimes it’s too easy to say if we did this and if we did that but the truth is we had a great summer window and it will be proven in time.

Plus, Palace didn’t want to sell Guehi so it was nothing to do with Hughes waiting until the end of the window. They wanted him to play in as many games for them as possible so we had no choice but to wait for them and they ultimately decided not to sell.

24 Dec 2025 12:34:29
LOOOL - none of that is happening btw.
We are not paying 40m for Guehi, and nor will a bid be made for Bastoni.
As for Konate - I don’t know what the club is doing, but he should be told to leave on a free. Nowhere near good enough.

24 Dec 2025 12:50:13
@VR
Wirtz over Semenyo. I just think Wirtz is a truly special talent and a bit of a unicorn. I really like Semenyo and i was hoping we would sign him i actually think his attrubutes would help some of our new signings and some of the problems we currently face but he has absolutely nothing on Wirtz imo.

Isak over Pedro. Aside from the fee, again a no brainer for me. Isak is the only striker i've seen give VVD, Saliba, and Gabriel hassle. I think he's fantastic and a all round belter number 9. His fitness and our tactics are reasons for his poor start. Pity about the injury, i think he was starting to look himself again. Give him chances and play him in quick and he will simply score. His interplay play is pretty good also but we haven't asked him to do it. If we had pacey wingers running in behind i could see him morphing into a Harry Kane. Salah and Gakpo are good at what they do but they are bad for Isak as they want to shoot every time to get the ball.

On Continunity. If we were replacing Mane and Bobby summer gone and wanted to keep our indentity, id agree with Semenyo and Pedro but we are long gone from that style of play. We moved away from that style either under Klopp. Unfortuntely we have to replace the goal monster that is Mo very soon and Isak was always a better shout than Pedro. If we can keep him fit and we play properly for a change next year, then Isak hits 30G/ A for me.
Weve also had to replace a creative unicorn in TAA and although a different type of creative unicorn i think long term Wirtz was the best case scenerio we could of dreamed of.
I agree there's been teething problems but i think long term Wirtz and Isak are a World Class combination. Im more concerned about our build up from the back, imbalanced squad (too lightweight/ attacking focused), absence of a winger who can beat and man and pull it back to one our our belter 9s (Semenyo type), and lastly an identity to our game. Im not sure what we are trying to do at times.

24 Dec 2025 13:35:11
If we're really honest, the summer window transfer business was tragic. We spent over £350m and look progressively weaker.
Spending that much money should have been the start of a dynasty, instead the manager has struggled to incorporate the players and we've no identity.

Isak was a mistake, Ekitike and Isak are the same profile of player. £125m would have been best served to strengthen the glaring holes in the squad. Hughes and Edward need to take accountability, especially if the club fails to achieve Champions league football.

24 Dec 2025 14:39:47
All of our summer signings will come good. Wirtz, ekitike and izak may get right to the top tier of prem players.

24 Dec 2025 14:41:29
Why did Semenyo not choose us? I thouhht he wanted Liverpool?

24 Dec 2025 14:45:55
I didn't mind buying Isak, absolutely top striker. i actually STILL don't regret any of the deals for any of the signings from the summer. All good players. We won't win the league, get over it.

Get top 5 and have a bash at the FA Cup and Champions League. A seasons not tragic if you don't win the league, if it was we'd have had a lot of tragedy as LFC fans over the last 35 years.

24 Dec 2025 14:49:48
Christ not another ITK there growing like herpies.

24 Dec 2025 15:57:36
Can Konate wait a week and one day so that can someone can agree a pre contract with him please?

24 Dec 2025 16:19:45
Merry Christmas to you all, another year ahead, hope its a good one! In my view, we don't need a midfielder or an attacker. A ready to go CB, or two are essential in Jan.

We have a great squad, we must give it time to gel and we'll get there folks. Anyway, really hope you all stay well and have a great time. Take care. YNWA.

24 Dec 2025 18:25:14
Merry Christmas heighway mate.

24 Dec 2025 18:43:00
40 mil for a player with 6 months left on contract who we all but signed for 30 mil 6 months ago?! What are you smoking there bud?

24 Dec 2025 21:52:26
Nonsense Pat. The summer window was stellar. The players we brought in will see us challenging for top honours for years to come.

There are teething problems sure but with patience and a few more defensive reinforcements we’ll be right up there.

25 Dec 2025 05:12:48
I’d say a lot of these posts sound far less fanciful if you stick “In my opinion” at the start of the post.

23 Dec 2025 21:07:43
Liverpool insider 🕵️‍♂️

“All parties from Liverpool at the table couldn’t get on the same page regarding Antoine Semenyo. The transfer was stalled five days ago. ”.

23 Dec 2025 21:40:06
Slot can't be choosing players if he's gone in the summer. Semenyo is a possible Mane regen, and prem ready. WTF are we waiting for.

23 Dec 2025 21:58:10
Semenyo has already chosen city
Seems over.

23 Dec 2025 22:03:00
Did we ask under the release clause and over to pay over a 1000 years.

23 Dec 2025 22:17:43
Rojack, does Slot choose the players LFC sign?

23 Dec 2025 22:54:50
Frode, not sure what your beef with the club is? If this player has chosen to sign for a club where he’s not embroiled in a court case with a fan of that club, who is pleading not guilty to racist abuse - then he is a smart guy.

Just no way he could come to us while that court case runs. The fact that the guy pleaded not guilty today made me think this transfer could no longer happen - that’s not the club’s fault, it’s down to one “fan”, and his/ her right to a fair trial.
In this case, the failure to sign him is down to our fanbase, not the club. Sounds harsh to blame the fans for one fan’s alleged bad behaviour? Well, one fan’s appalling behaviour does stain us all, and you can’t blame the suits for that.

23 Dec 2025 23:16:03
this must be from twitter. there's no suggestion of that on here from reliable posters.

24 Dec 2025 01:44:33
Rojack Slot doesn't have final say on transfers, he already hinted at that in an interview, and when Edwards came back on board rumour had it that he did so under the premise that he had final say on transfers over the manager. I also doubt very much Slot is going anywhere, we're sitting in 5th, if we finish in or around that, all things considered, it won't be deemed a bad season, not bad enough to warrant a p45 anyway.

Monstersouness 1 racist moron is beyond the last thing that any player is going to consider when making a transfer. These guys get to play the greatest sport on earth and earn hundreds of thousands whilst doing it, they're living the dream, they're really not bothered by what some random pleb in the stands think when it comes to career decisions. Sure, they won't want anyone getting away with it but to suggest that an elite footballer is going to make career choices based on the moronic rants of 1 single imbecile is a bit of a reach.

In the last 10 years City is the most successful club in the Prem by a country mile, they've got the most money and the best manager, it's an extremely attractive opportunity. Especially when taking our recent issues into consideration.

I'll be keeping my fingers crossed until the Jan 10 but as soon as I heard city might be in for him I lost a lot of confidence in the possibility of a deal. If we were having a great season I think things might be different.

24 Dec 2025 07:48:05
Thanks for the biggest speculative load of nonsense. My beef with the club is that we have a title winning side that is being destroyed by a stubborn manager whose brand of football is scraping results for now and two bum chums behind the scenes trying to push class out like Salah who is being made a scapegoat for Slot’s tactics.

Also supposed fans like you who claim to have some form of superiority because they feel every action the club makes is righteous and virtuous. You’re a patsy.

24 Dec 2025 10:38:13
Stirring stuff Frode, I take it you’re not a fan of our leadership!

It’s disappointing how things have gone this season, and if January fizzles out without a minimum of one centre back signing there’ll be real rumblings of discontent for sure.

I still think though that we should finish top four, but it will be tight if others strengthen but we don’t. Chelsea particularly are the main competition together with Villa. I wouldn’t worry about City buying as we won’t be competing for top 2, and at least they’ll take more points off others.

24 Dec 2025 10:57:04
Liverpool insider. that's just been copied from Indykaila!

24 Dec 2025 11:36:15
Frodo, by all means disagree with me - but there is no need to be so full of rage. Quite an over the top response!

24 Dec 2025 13:01:08
Frode, name calling supporters who recognise the brilliant job that the back room staff have done in the last decade or so is a bit immature mate. I will go on record saying that I have doubts about how Slot reacted / didn’t react to the slump since the spring but I was also one of the many that thought we “won the transdermal window”

Revisionism is a thing and those at the club def know A LOT more than you or I and, for me, deserve a bit more trust. There’s always al lot more going on in the background than we are aware of and Slot may well go but until then they’ll have my support and I’m def not a patsy.

23 Dec 2025 19:49:42
Liverpool have had encouragement to Sign Semenyo, but looks like he wants to join Manchester City.

23 Dec 2025 20:26:47
That's some turn around.

23 Dec 2025 20:57:42
Why is it ‘such a turnaround’? You - like the rest of us - hear rumours from all sorts of different places. It’s your choice which ones you want to believe. Sometimes the rumours might turn out to have an element of truth and sometimes it just stuff made up by people who wear tin foil helmets.

Rather than a turnaround (as though you’ve been conned) perhaps it’s just a case that the rumours you chose to believe weren’t correct.

23 Dec 2025 19:34:52
So according to Ornstein Semenyo prefers City, other rumours suggesting we are/ have dragging our feet because Hughes wants Semenyo but Slot doesn’t! Some uncomfortable reports that we may look at ‘short term options’ such as Depay…perhaps Semenyo simply knocked us back once City came calling but when Ornstein comes out with these type of reports he is normally pretty accurate with Liverpool info.

23 Dec 2025 20:22:58
Same to is quick, physical and direct

Pretty nailed in then he’s not a Slot type of wide player.

23 Dec 2025 20:25:28
All the more reason Slot should have been sacked. Who would want to play for him and his dross tactics.

23 Dec 2025 20:26:47
Don't believe they'd let Slot veto something when his position isn't 100% secure.

If city have got him then they have probably put a better case forward to the player. Can we honestly say we are the most attractive proposition right now?

He'd be feeding Haaland and has a genuine shot at the league. Plus the money will likely be better.

Having said all that, I'm still inclined to believe Carra/ Fields and will wait to see how it shakes out.

23 Dec 2025 20:35:16
Being reported seneyno has chosen city.

23 Dec 2025 20:55:11
Best to wait and see. Wirtz was going to city wasn’t he.

23 Dec 2025 20:59:31
@Whatsup, you do talk some absolute rubbish. Why should Slot be sacked because a player wants to move to a different club?

23 Dec 2025 21:38:04
He should have been sacked for the poor football and tactics and the losses so far 100%. Semenyo would rather play for oep than him it's that obvious. Now cop on.

23 Dec 2025 22:11:38
Tbh, if I wasn't a Liverpool supporter and as a top talent I had the choice of LFC or City, I'd choose City right now.

We're playing absolutely terrible football, don't look like title contenders at all. actually look like we'll struggle to get top 4, coach and players look totally lost like they got no idea what they're doing. I'd pick City easily.

24 Dec 2025 02:13:06
Slot does not have final say on transfers, no chance. If the Semenyo deal was actually on the table and Edwards wanted him a bid would have been made. I said weeks ago when I first heard City were rumoured to be in for Semenyo that I highly doubted he would pick us over them. It's easy to see why, he's a Gooner, they won't make a move till the summer, he wants a move now, City have twice as many trophies and 3 times as many PL titles in the last 10 years, the best manager in the game atm, an infinite cashflow and plenty of brown envelopes.

Throw the fact that we just spent 450 million on world class players, not one of them is performing calls from fans and pundits for Slot's job, questions over hether he'll be ther next year, the issues with Salah. Liverpool are a hot mess at the moment. From an unbiased pov, City are the clear choice.
