England and Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard has disclosed why Brazilian Philippe Coutinho is now under pressure to join Spanish La Liga giant FC Barcelona.

But Reds owner, Fenway Sports Group, FSG, have insisted the 25-year-old attacker will not be sold. Notwithstanding FSG's stance on this transfer saga, the Brazilian has issued a transfer request.

Club Chief Admits: Yes, We Are In Talks With Chelsea For This Deal
Christian Heidel, Schalke’s sporting director, has revealed that his side are currently discussing with Chelsea for the possibility of re-signing Baba Rahman on loan from the London club. Rahman spent last season on loan at the Bundesliga club after he was not able to impress Antonio Conte during last year's pre-season campaign. He returned to the club after picking up an injury, and this ended his loan spell prematurely. Although some thinks the Ghanaian defender is an ideal fit for Conte’s system at Stamford Bridge, the player does not appear to be in the manager's plans. And while the African star continues his recovery, the premier league champions are still keen on bringing in a new wing-back before the end of this summer transfer window. And if he … [Read more...]

Boss reveals Liverpool are likely to make more signings before August 31
With the summer transfer window set to close on the 31st of August, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is looking to strengthen his squad with more quality signings in the coming weeks.

And speaking to newsmen after the season opening match, Jurgen Klopp admitted the Reds were pursuing transfer deals, but stressed that signing a fresh defender may not solve his team’s set-piece … [Read more...]
