Liverpool approaches their first Premier League win post-Klopp. However, recent defeats and looming contract issues over Salah and Van Dijk bring uncertainty to this milestone achievement.

Liverpool's Premier League Title Journey

Liverpool inches towards Premier League glory yet faces a future shadowed by defeats and player contract uncertainties. Salah and Van Dijk's futures are in focus as the team's post-Klopp era unfolds.

Liverpool's premier league quest faces uncertain future

Liverpool stands close to a Premier League win, but recent setbacks and contract uncertainties cast doubts on their future. Addressing key players' potential exits will be crucial for enduring success.

Liverpool stand on the brink of Premier League glory, their first since the departure of legendary manager J&uuml;rgen Klopp. However, recent setbacks and a clouded future have cast a shadow over what should be a triumphant moment for Arne Slot's team.
In a week that tested their resolve, Liverpool fell 2-0 to Newcastle United in the League Cup final, following a midweek exit from the Champions League at the hands of Paris Saint-Germain.
The Magpies, hungry for their first domestic trophy in 70 years, outperformed at Wembley, leaving Slot to acknowledge the deserving winners led by Eddie Howe.
"Football involves facing formidable teams, and we had to play two very strong ones this week," Slot remarked post-defeat, adding focus back onto the Premier League challenge where Liverpool enjoys a 12-point cushion with just nine fixtures remaining.
Sixteen additional points will secure the title, regardless of second-placed Arsenal's results. The pivotal match against Arsenal at Anfield in May looms less significant with every passing week.
While equaling Manchester United's historic 20 top-flight titles is within Liverpool's grasp, captain Virgil van Dijk stresses the need for focus. "Motivation isn't the issue; we have hard work ahead. With five wins, the title is ours," he asserted.
The season began with Liverpool fans longing for domestic success after Klopp's exit, but the team&rsquo;s dazzling Champions League performances had sparked dreams of a historic season, largely driven by Mohamed Salah's brilliance.
Yet, their earlier dominance has waned. In recent outings across competitions, Liverpool have managed five victories, suffered three defeats&mdash;including one on penalties to PSG&mdash;while Salah&rsquo;s goal-scoring magic seems to have dissipated, his impact at Wembley minimal.
Compounding matters, contract uncertainties loom over key players. Salah, Van Dijk, and Trent Alexander-Arnold are all out of contract by season's end, with Salah linked to a move to Saudi Arabia and Alexander-Arnold drawing interest from Real Madrid. Van Dijk's future too remains an open question, with the defender admitting uncertainty about his tenure at Anfield.
Even if Liverpool retains some of these stars, the current squad is perceived as reaching the end of its cycle. Van Dijk is 33 and both Salah and Alisson Becker are 32, with veteran Andy Robertson a year junior, all of whom formed the backbone of Klopp's era when they won both the Premier League and Champions League.
Arne Slot, once at Feyenoord, shouldered the massive responsibility of succeeding Klopp and only faced his second loss in January. The imminent Premier League triumph would mark just Liverpool's second top-flight win since 1990, a milestone for Slot but a reminder of the challenges that lie ahead in building the next chapter.

Coutinho’s €160 million move from Liverpool to Barcelona ranks among football’s biggest transfer flops. After failing to replicate his Liverpool form, loan spells to Bayern & Villa followed. His Barcelona stint remains marked by inconsistency.

Philippe Coutinho: The €160 Million Transfer Flop That Shook Barcelona

Coutinho’s €160 million move from Liverpool to Barcelona ranks among football’s biggest transfer flops. After failing to replicate his Liverpool form, loan spells to Bayern Munich & Aston Villa followed. His Barcelona stint remains marked by inconsistency.

Coutinho&rsquo;s &euro;160 million move from Liverpool to Barcelona ranks among football&rsquo;s biggest transfer flops. After failing to replicate his Liverpool form, loan spells to Bayern Munich &amp; Aston Villa followed. His Barcelona stint remains marked by inconsistency.

Welcome back to Failed Football Transfers, where we explore the biggest transfers that just didn&rsquo;t live up to the hype. Today, we dive into one of the costliest flops in modern football history - Philippe Coutinho&rsquo;s ill-fated move from Liverpool to Barcelona. So, how did the Little Magician&rsquo;s transfer turn into a disaster at the Camp Nou? Let&rsquo;s find out.
 Philippe Coutinho arrived at Liverpool as a 20-year-old for a measly &pound;8.5 million from Inter Milan in 2013. The Brazilian quickly established himself as one of the Premier League&rsquo;s most creative midfielders. His vision, dribbling, and ability to score stunning long-range goals made him a fan favourite at Anfield.
 Signed by Brendan Rodgers, Coutinho grew stronger with each season. Under Rodgers' successor Jurgen Klopp, he flourished even further. Between 2013 and 2018, Coutinho contributed to 97 goals across all competitions. His meteoric rise caught Barcelona's attention as the Catalans sought Coutinho to replace Neymar, who had left for Paris Saint-Germain for a record-breaking &euro;222 million in 2017. Coutinho even tried to force a move with a transfer request, but Liverpool stood firm, rejecting multiple bids.
 When the transfer window reopened in January 2018, Barcelona&rsquo;s &euro;160 million bid was accepted - making Coutinho the third most expensive transfer in history. But the record-breaking move quickly turned sour as Coutinho struggled to adapt to life in Spain. His first six months were decent, with 9 goals and 7 assists in 22 appearances, but he was far from the game-changer fans expected.
 The 2018-19 season was even worse. Barcelona&rsquo;s system didn&rsquo;t suit him, and despite his technical skills, he failed to replicate his form from Liverpool. His confidence dropped, and the enormous price tag began to weigh on him. As the season dragged on, fans grew frustrated, and Coutinho was often benched.
 In the summer of 2019, Barcelona loaned Coutinho to Bayern Munich in an attempt to revitalize his career. Ironically, while on loan, Coutinho rediscovered his form, playing a crucial role in Bayern&rsquo;s historic treble-winning season. His time in Germany was capped off by a jaw-dropping moment of footballing fate - when Bayern thrashed Barcelona 8-2 in the Champions League quarter-final. Coutinho came off the bench to score twice and provide an assist against the very club that sent him out on loan - all within seven minutes of play.
 Despite his resurgence at Bayern, Barcelona couldn&rsquo;t find a buyer willing to match his price. When he returned to the Camp Nou, his fortunes didn&rsquo;t improve. Injuries kept him sidelined for much of the 2020-21 season, and when he did play, he looked like a shadow of his former self. Over his Barcelona career, Coutinho made 106 appearances, scored 25 goals, and provided 14 assists - nowhere near the level expected for a player of his price.
 In January 2022, Coutinho was sent on loan to Aston Villa, reuniting with former Liverpool teammate Steven Gerrard, who was the manager at Villa Park. A few months later, Villa made the deal permanent for a reported &euro;20 million - a massive drop from his original &euro;160 million transfer fee. But his fortunes didn&rsquo;t change much, and his Villa stint was marred by inconsistency and injuries. Last season, Coutinho was loaned out to Qatari side Al-Duhail and this campaign, he&rsquo;s out on loan at his boyhood club Vasco Da Gama.
 In the end, Coutinho&rsquo;s move to Barcelona will be remembered as one of the biggest flops in football history. While he showed flashes of brilliance at Bayern and Villa, his time at the Camp Nou was marked by inconsistency, injuries, and a failure to live up to astronomical expectations.

The BBC claimed that the deal is worth up to &pound;9.4 million (10.9 million euros).

Feyenoord's Arne Slot to be next Liverpool head coach

The BBC claimed that the deal is worth up to £9.4 million (10.9 million euros).

The BBC claimed that the deal is worth up to &pound;9.4 million (10.9 million euros).

Liverpool reached an agreement with Feyenoord on Friday for Arne Slot to succeed Jurgen Klopp as manager, British media reported.
The Press Association said that a compensation package for the 45-year-old, who had two years left on his contract, has now been agreed.
The BBC claimed that the deal is worth up to &pound;9.4 million (10.9 million euros).
Slot had said Thursday that he was "confident" of landing the Anfield job.
"I would like to go to Liverpool. Now I'm waiting to see whether the clubs reach an agreement. I'm very confident in that," he told reporters.
Slot moved to Feyenoord in 2021 after impressing in his first managerial role at AZ Alkmaar.
He led the Dutch giants to the inaugural Europa Conference League final at the end of his first season, in which they narrowly lost 1-0 to Jose Mourinho's Roma.
Slot then delivered just a second league title in 24 years to De Kuip last season before penning a new three-year deal.
Klopp will step down at the end of this season after a nine-year reign which brought the Champions League title in 2019 and Premier League trophy a year later.
"I like the way his team plays football. If he is the one, I like that he wants it," Klopp told reporters on Friday when asked to highlight Slot's qualities.
"I don't know him, but some people who know him say he's a good guy. I like that a lot. So good coach, good guy. Looking forward for the club, if he is the solution, if he is the man, I'm more than happy.
"It's the best job in the world, best club in the world. Great job, great team, fantastic people. A really interesting job."

Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah could be out for a month with injury – says agent

Mohamed Salah's muscle injury is "more serious than first thought" and could keep the Liverpool forward out of action for nearly a month, according to his agent.

Posting to his personal account on X (formerly Twitter), the agent wrote: "Mohamed's injury is more serious than first thought and he will be out for 21-28 days, and not two games.

Mohamed Salah's muscle injury is "more serious than first thought" and could keep the Liverpool forward out of action for nearly a month, according to his agent.
On Sunday, Liverpool announced that the 31-year-old would be returning from the Ivory Coast, where he was representing Egypt in the Africa Cup of Nations, to undergo treatment with the aim of returning to play for his nation if they progressed to the knockout stages of the competition.
That optimistic plan, at least according to Ramy Abbas Issa, now looks to have suffered a significant setback.
Posting to his personal account on X (formerly Twitter), the agent wrote: "Mohamed's injury is more serious than first thought and he will be out for 21-28 days, and not two games.
"His best chance at participating in the current Africa Cup of Nations is by undergoing intensive rehabilitation in the UK and rejoining the team as soon as he is fit."

Colombia's government said that the National Liberation Army, known as ELN, was responsible for the weekend kidnapping of the parents of Liverpool and Colombian national football team striker Luis D&iacute;az.
The peace delegation of the government, which is currently in negotiations with ELN, said in a statement it was &ldquo;officially aware&rdquo; that the kidnapping had been &ldquo;perpetrated by a unit that belongs to ELN.&rdquo;
Colombia's ombudsman called on members of the guerrilla group with whom the government is engaged in peace talks on Thursday.
"Honour your word and show that you genuinely want to renounce hostilities and, in particular, any action that affects the civilian population." said ombudsman Carlos Camargo during a broadcast message.
D&iacute;az'a parents were kidnapped by armed men on motorcycles on Saturday at a gas station in the small town of Barrancas.
The footballer's mother, Cilenis Marulanda, was rescued within hours by police who set up roadblocks around the town of 40,000 people, which is near Colombia&rsquo;s border with Venezuela.
D&iacute;az's father remained missing, which triggered special forces to search for him in a mountain range that straddles both countries and is covered by cloud forest.
Police also offered a $48,000 reward for information leading to Diaz&rsquo;s father.
D&iacute;az is one of the most talented players on Colombia&rsquo;s national team and plays for Liverpool in the English Premier League, which he joined last year in a deal worth $67 million.

Al Duhail described the Brazil international as a "great asset" after confirming his arrival.

Former Liverpool star Philippe Coutinho joins Qatari team Al Duhail

After spells with some of European soccer's biggest clubs, Philippe Coutinho joined Qatari team Al Duhail on a season-long loan from Aston Villa.

Al Duhail described the Brazil international as a "great asset" after confirming his arrival.

After spells with some of European soccer's biggest clubs, Philippe Coutinho joined Qatari team Al Duhail on a season-long loan from Aston Villa on Friday.
The former Liverpool, Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Inter Milan playmaker's move comes after a slew of the sport's biggest stars have been lured to Saudi Arabia's lucrative league.
Al Duhail described the Brazil international as a "great asset" after confirming his arrival.
The 31-year-old Coutinho was a record signing for Barcelona when joining the Catalan club in a deal worth up to 160 million euros (then USD 192 million) in 2018.
But his time at the Nou Camp did not go to plan as injury problems saw him fail to live up to expectations and led to loans at Bayern and Villa. He joined Villa in a permanent deal last year, but did not appear to be part of manager Unai Emery's plans this season after making just two substitute appearances.
He made 43 appearances for Villa and scored six goals.
Coutinho joined Liverpool from Inter in 2013 and the money earned from his move to Barcelona played a big part in Jurgen Klopp's rebuild that saw the Merseyside club win the Champions League and the Premier League in the following years.
Al Duhail won the Qatar league last season and hopes Coutinho's arrival will boost its chances of triumphing in the Asian Champions League.
Qatar hosted the men's World Cup last year, but since then it has been Saudi Arabia that has established itself as a powerhouse of world soccer.
Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar, Karim Benzema and Sadio Mane have been among the marquee names to head to the Saudi league, which spent over $1 billion dollars on signings during the last transfer window.

The signing comes after Liverpool missed out on another defensive midfielder, Mois&eacute;s Caicedo, who opted for Chelsea instead.

The signing comes after Liverpool missed out on another defensive midfielder, Mois&eacute;s Caicedo, who opted for Chelsea instead.

&nbsp;Liverpool signed Japan midfielder Wataru Endo from German club Stuttgart on Friday.
The 30-year-old Endo was in the last year of his contract at Stuttgart, where he was the captain. Endo played in all four of Japan's games at the World Cup last year.
&ldquo;He was always on my list, just usually we don't sign players of this age group," Liverpool manager J&uuml;rgen Klopp said. "He is obviously a top fit and we will have a lot of fun with him. I'm really sure he can help us immediately, which is super-cool because the season already started.&rdquo; The signing comes after Liverpool missed out on another defensive midfielder, Mois&eacute;s Caicedo, who opted for Chelsea instead.
Endo is a defensive midfielder who can also play in the center of defense. He had been at Stuttgart since 2020 and scored five goals in 33 Bundesliga games last season as the club narrowly avoided relegation.&nbsp;

<h2>Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson bid goodbye to the fans after spending 12 years with the Reds.</h2>

After a remarkable 12-year stint at Liverpool, Jordan Henderson officially announced his departure from the Merseyside club, hinting at an imminent move to Saudi Arabia.
The 33-year-old midfielder is reportedly on the verge of joining Al-Ettifaq, with Liverpool agreeing to a transfer deal valued at $15.5 million for their former Premier League and Champions League-winning captain.
Taking to his Instagram account, Henderson shared a heartfelt farewell video with the fans, expressing that being named the captain of Liverpool Football Club was one of the greatest honours of his life.
During his tenure at Liverpool, Henderson achieved every major club honour, including the Champions League title in 2019 and the Premier League title the following year. The latter ended Liverpool's 30-year-long wait to reclaim the English title.
Should the move to Al-Ettifaq materialize, Henderson will have the opportunity to reunite with Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard, who recently assumed the role of manager for the Saudi Pro League team.

<h2>Steven Gerrard, who was sacked by Aston Villa last season, will now compete in the Saudi Pro League.</h2>

Saudi Arabia has made another significant signing in the world of football as Liverpool icon Steven Gerrard was announced as the new manager of Al-Ettifaq on Monday.
The renowned former England captain is the latest star to be enticed to the oil-rich kingdom as part of its ongoing ambitious recruitment drive.
Having previously managed Scottish club Rangers and Premier League side Aston Villa after retiring as a player, Gerrard follows in the footsteps of another Liverpool great, Robbie Fowler, who was appointed by Al-Qadisiyah last week.
Al-Ettifaq expressed their excitement on Twitter, stating, "Here is the source of the legends. We're thrilled to announce Steven Gerrard as our new head coach."
Gerrard's managerial career took an unexpected turn after being sacked by Villa last season, with the club narrowly avoiding relegation from the Premier League.
This move marks a fresh start for Gerrard, who had shown promising potential as a coach, leading Rangers to the Scottish league title in 2021 and ending Celtic's nine-year championship dominance.
Before joining Villa, he had been earmarked as a potential future manager of Liverpool and a successor to Jurgen Klopp.
As Al-Ettifaq competes in the lucrative Saudi Pro League, they are yet to secure a major player signing during the current offseason, which has witnessed the arrival of notable names like Karim Benzema and N'Golo Kante, along with several stars from Europe's top leagues. Cristiano Ronaldo also made his move to the country, signing with Al-Nassr in January.
During his playing career, Gerrard achieved remarkable success, winning numerous prestigious club trophies, including the Champions League with Liverpool in 2005. Although he garnered an impressive collection of seven more major cups, he was unable to lift the coveted Premier League title.

<h2>Manchester United's 4-1 victory against Chelsea on Thursday meant that Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool will not play in the Champions League next season.</h2>

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp on Friday said that failing to qualify for next season&rsquo;s Champions League will not have a dramatic impact on his squad, as they had already &ldquo;drawn a line under&rdquo; this season.
Both Newcastle United and Manchester United gained the points they needed to secure their own qualification during the week, meaning Liverpool will have to settle for a place in the Europa League.
It was ultimately confirmed that "The Reds" will not be playing in next year&rsquo;s Champions League on Thursday evening after Manchester United beat Chelsea 4-1.
Earlier, Liverpool forward Mohd Salah also took to his social media to express his disappointment and apologised to the fans for a below-par season from the Merseyside club.
It will be the first time Klopp's men will not play in Europe&rsquo;s premier club competition since 2017/18.

Liverpool utterly failed to pull any miracle as Real Madrid chucked out the struggling English team to return to the Champions League quarterfinal with a 1-0 win in the second leg at the Santiago Bernabeu. The reigning champions who entered the game with a 5-2 advantage dominated Jurgen Klopp's men throughout who have had a bitterly disappointing season.&nbsp; With a 78th-minute strike, Karim Benzema sealed a distinctly expected result as the Spanish club will now aim to lift the trophy for the 15th time. Meanwhile, Napoli handed Eintracht Frankfurt a 3-0 loss in the second leg to advance to the next round with a 5-0 aggregate at Diego Armando Maradona Stadium. While Victor Osimhen found the net twice, Piotr Zelinski too scored from the penalty spot for Luciano Spalletti to help the Italian side reach the Champions League quarterfinals for the first time in its history.

Arsenal strengthen their top spot with a 5-point lead as the Gunners thrashed grappling Everton 4-0 at Emirates Stadium.&nbsp;

Arsenal bolstered their lead on the top spot with 5 more points as the Gunners thrashed grappling Everton 4-0 at Emirates Stadium.&nbsp; Mikel Arteta's men struggled to break the deadlock until Bukayo Saka got the opener in the 40th minute. The hosts then capitalised on the lead as Gabriel Martinelli scored in the first-half stoppage time. The Brazilian again found the net in the 80th minute just before captain Martin Odegaard struck from close range in the 71st minute as Arsenal registered their 3rd successive win at the Premier League. Meanwhile, Virgil Van Dijk and Mohd Salah with a goal each guided Liverpool to a 2-0 win over a tough-looking Wolverhampton Wanderers. The win helped the Reds make it to the 6th spot in the EPL table, 6 points away from the Top 4 of the premier League.&nbsp;

Haaland who scored in the 29th minute following Julian Alvarez's 15th-minute goal made it 27 for the season in the English Premier League.

EPL Round-up: Haaland breaks scoring record, City keeps pace with Arsenal 

Arsenal overcome their blip, Manchester City's Erling Haaland breaks Sergio Aguero's record, and Liverpool held for a goalless draw.

Here's the English Premier League round-up

Haaland who scored in the 29th minute following Julian Alvarez's 15th-minute goal made it 27 for the season in the English Premier League.

Erling Haaland has already taken one of Sergio Aguero's scoring records for Manchester City.
At this rate, surely more will fall.
With one of City's goals in a routine 4-1 win at Bournemouth on Saturday, Haaland made it 27 for the season in the English Premier League. That's more than any player has scored in a single campaign for City since the league started in 1992.
Aguero had the previous highest total of 26 in 2014-15, part of his record all-time haul of 260 for City in all competitions.
The scary thing about Haaland is that he still has 13 matches remaining in the league. He is closing in on Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah's record haul of 32 in a 38-game season as well as the 34 of Andy Cole and Alan Shearer &mdash; achieved back when there were 42 games per season.
Haaland won't score many easier goals than his finish from three meters at Vitality Stadium that helped City ease to a win to keep on the shoulder of Arsenal in the title race.
Arsenal earlier won at Leicester 1-0, a result that was more resounding than the scoreline suggested.
Arsenal stayed two points clear of second-placed City with a game to spare.
There was more movement at the bottom of the standings, with victories for Leeds and West Ham lifting both teams out of the relegation zone and dropping Everton and Bournemouth into it.
EASY FOR ARSENAL Arsenal looks to have gotten over its blip.
Since collecting one point from a three-game stretch that let City back into the title race, Arsenal has gained back-to-back wins on the road with manager Mikel Arteta saying the team has gone back to basics.
Gabriel Martinelli scored the 46th-minute winner at King Power Stadium, poking in a finish after running onto Leandro Trossard's pass. Trossard and Bukayo Saka had goals disallowed either side of Martinelli's strike.
It built on the 4-2 win at Aston Villa last week.
&ldquo;Sometimes the wave is created very far from the beach," Arteta said. &ldquo;Then it's too late to avoid what is going to happen. We had to improve on those things and today we've done that really well.&rdquo; EASIER FOR CITY Haaland scored either side of Julian Alvarez and Phil Foden, with an own-goal by Chris Mepham wrapping up the scoring for City against Bournemouth.
It is six consecutive matches without a clean sheet for Pep Guardiola's team, however, after Jefferson Lerma's 83rd-minute strike for the hosts.
LIVERPOOL HELD After conceding five goals to Real Madrid in the Champions League in midweek, Liverpool at least tightened up at the back in a 0-0 draw at Crystal Palace.
Jurgen Klopp's team was short of attacking inspiration, however, with Darwin Nunez out injured. Mohamed Salah curled a shot against the crossbar in a game of few real chances at Selhurst Park.
Liverpool moved up one place to seventh and is six points off the Champions League qualification positions with a game in hand.
WINNING START Javi Gracia launched his Leeds reign with a 1-0 win over Southampton in a match between teams who started as the bottom two.
Junior Firpo scored in the 77th minute to secure Leeds' first win since Dec. 26. Leeds jumped two places and out of the relegation zone, leaving Southampton rooted to last place and four points adrift of safety.
Bournemouth is in next-to-last place and on the same number of points as Everton, which was beaten at home by Aston Villa 2-0 thanks to goals by Ollie Watkins &mdash; who has scored in five straight games &mdash; and Emi Buendia.
West Ham started the day in third-to-last place but swept past Nottingham Forest with a 4-0 thrashing.
All of the goals came in the final 20 minutes, with Danny Ings scoring twice before Declan Rice and Michail Antonio added others.&nbsp;

The Reigning European Champions were 2-0 down within the first 14 minutes as Darwin Nunez and Mohd Salah found the net for Jurgen Klopp's team in the 2nd and 14th minutes.

However, Vinicius Junior struck twice in the 21st and 36th minutes to level the game. Eder Militao with his header in the 47th minute and Karim Benzema's brace piled more miseries on the hosts who suffered their biggest-ever Champions League defeat and are now on the brink of elimination.&nbsp; Meanwhile, Victor Osimhen and Giovanni De Lorenzo struck as Napoli defeated Eintracht Frankfurt 2-0 in their round-of-16 game in Frankfurt.&nbsp;

Heavily criticized European Super League back with 80-team competition

According to the organisers, they have consulted with nearly 50 European clubs since October last year and developed 10 principles that will help in creating the new league.

After receiving massive backlash from the football fraternity back in April 2021, the European Super League is back with another idea of an 80-team multi-divisional competition.
"The foundations of European football are in danger of collapsing," the League's Chief Executive Reichart told German newspaper Die Welt.
"It's time for a change. It is the clubs that bear the entrepreneurial risk in football.
"But when important decisions are at stake, they are too often forced to sit idly by on the sidelines as the sporting and financial foundations crumble around them." He further added.
According to the organisers, the ESL will be an open competition with up to 80 teams. Each team will play a minimum of 14 matches per season while they continue to play in their domestic competitions.
Big European clubs were previously the founding members, but Manchester United, Manchester City, Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham backed out following widespread condemnation. Real Madrid, Barcelona and Juventus, however, are still hoping for the ESL to become a reality.
Both FIFA and UEFA had stood up against the idea of the breakaway league and also warned the clubs with possible sanctions if they took part in it.
