The almost perfect season of Liverpool continued on Tuesday evening with a victory over Lille, but the high flyers could still make additions to strengthen their position.
Seven wins in seven in Europe have ensured that they went on to the eighth finals of the Champions League, where they are guaranteed to be among the top two. In their own country, things go just as smoothly, with a six-point lead in the Premier League, even though they are faced with a fight to pass the Spurs and reach the Carabao Cup final.
A large part of the season the big questions related to the future of Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold. With regard to the additions, however, a fuss has arisen about a possible successor to Andy Robertson for the long term.
So far, Federico Chiesa is the only senior player who has joined this season, while Giorgi Mhaldashvili will follow in the summer, but could we see more things in the coming days? Here are the latest rules of Mirror Football from all over Anfield.
Liverpool-Jonger Alvin Ayman has signed his first professional contract with the club. The midfielder played twice in the Onder-18 Premier League this season, but has yet to make his debut in the first team.
The teenager, who qualifies for England and Egypt at an international level, came over from the Wolves Academy in the summer of 2024. He was sitting on the couch for the opening match of the Reds in the UEFA Youth League this season, a scoreless draw against AC Milan, when the players like Trey Nyoni and Rio Ngumoha got minutes.
However, it is not the large contract news that the Liverpool fans were looking for, since Alexander-Arnold, Salah and Van Dijk do not want to entrust their future to the club. Young goalkeeper Vitezslav Jaros is also walking his contract this summer and could move on to Anfield to Mamaardashvili.
The Italian manager Luciano Spalletti would like to see Federico Chiesa play more regular football and has suggested that a return to Serie A could be the solution. Chiesa has difficulty breaking through Liverpool since he came over from Juventus, and is associated with a loan to Napoli, among others.
Chiesa has 51 international matches for Italy, but has not taken action since the European Championships of 2024, and Spalletti indicated that he would like to see the 27-year-old in his home country. “Yes, I would be a strong in favor of being in care for Chiesa with regard to the level of our football, to reintegrate it,” he told Vivo Azzurro TV (via The Echo).
“Those who have the quality to look into the eyes and break the line for them to get to the next … There are not many. We hope that Chiesa can play with more continuity and that we can regularly seeing and playing. ”
Slavia Prague star El Hadji Malick Diouf emphasizes that he must ensure that the time is ripe for his next step, in the middle of the ties with Liverpool. The left back, which can also play on the left in midfield, has made an impression for the Czech Republic since he appeared from Tromsø in January 2024.
“I can see what is happening around me, but I am absolutely not distracted by it,” says Senegal international Diouf, according to reports in the Czech media (via Sport Witness). “I concentrate on myself, on Slavia, I have no reason to hurry. I told my uncle, my agent, the same. He knows everything.
“And I know that one day I will take the next step. That day is approaching, but I have to be convinced that it happens at the ideal moment, not to delay my development.
“I don't know if that is true (about Liverpool). Yes, it sounds nice, but would I play for Liverpool? Would I fit there? For me it is essential that I don't stop. It is difficult to get from the exchange bank. I have to play. “
