With the football season paused, there are still plenty of stories to keep us occupied. One of the most talked-about topics is the potential departure of Liverpool forward Roberto Firmino, who has been linked to Real Madrid and Barcelona. Jorg Schmadtke has also recently been appointed as the club’s sporting director and has outlined his role. Meanwhile, RB Leipzig have made an offer for Fabio Carvalho, which was quickly dismissed by Liverpool.
The Anfield Road End’s development has taken a major step forward with half of the roof removed from the stand. James Milner topped the Premier League’s chart for distance covered per 90 minutes in 2022/23, with Firmino also in the top five.
Elsewhere, Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino has turned down the chance to extend Joao Felix’s stay at the club, with the forward set to return to Atletico Madrid. Marco Asensio could be set to join Aston Villa this summer and Arsenal’s hopes of signing Joao Cancelo have been given a boost after an asking price was set for the defender.
Finally, exclusive footage has been released of the new stand nearing its conclusion, featuring a view of how it looks from inside the stadium.
