Virgil van Dijk appeared to scoff at the idea of Cody Gakpo moving to Manchester United within the near future.

This comes courtesy of a tweet from Fabrizio Romano relaying the Dutchman’s comments to The Athletic.

The Liverpool-linked attacker – according to the transfer news guru who told Caught Offside that we’ve sent scouts to observe the 23-year-old during his time with PSV – would no doubt make a fine addition to any top side in Europe judging by the quality of his performances in Doha.

Our No.4’s comments on the matter would, at the very least, appear to suggest that Manchester United isn’t a genuine option for his international teammate, though the same can’t be said for Spanish giants Real Madrid.

That having been said, Van Dijk’s presence could play a role in swaying Gakpo toward an Anfield switch, should we desire it.

Given the midfield remains a clear priority, of course, it’s not a transfer that would be in our best interests as things currently stand.

Trent Alexander-Arnold joined the Beta Squad panel for a game of ‘guess the footballer’ and did not shirk an opportunity to showcase his talent on the turf.

The experts had to determine which individual out of lineup of five was a genuine professional footballer.

After asking one of the suspects to perform a crossbar challenge, the England international was encouraged to shake off his shoes and have a go himself – to which he duly obliged and succeeded, to the delight of his newfound colleagues.

Fabinho became the seventh Liverpool player to appear in this year’s World Cup when he was handed the start for Brazil in their final group game against Cameroon.

Coach Tite made a host of changes to his starting 11 as his side had already booked their place in the knockout rounds and this paved the way for our No.3 to make his debut on this stage.

Although it was set to be a disappointing evening for the 29-year-old as the African nation won the match 1-0, it would have been a day of immense pride for our midfielder.

Let’s hope it’s not his last chance to shine in Qatar for the player, although Jurgen Klopp and our supporters will be happy to see him rested ahead of the return of domestic football.

Darwin Nunez is loved by many Liverpool supporters after his positive start to life on Merseyside but one former Red has voiced a rather scathing criticism of the forward, following his World Cup performances.

Speaking about the accused stamp that occured during Uruguay’s game with Ghana, Ronnie Whelan spoke with Football Insider and said: “It’s disgraceful from Nunez, it’s dishonest and completely blatant – he is not even trying to hide what he is doing.

“I would like to see officials make an example of players who are caught red-handed cheating – and give them red cards. Going to 10 men and getting banned might make them think twice.

“You can see they are clearly willing to risk a yellow to give their team some kind of advantage.

“Nunez has a horrible side to him. He’s a brilliant player, although we haven’t seen them best of him at the World Cup, but he has a nasty edge to his game.

“Klopp and the Liverpool coaches are going to have a difficult time controlling him and stopping him getting stupid yellows and reds.

“He is out of order at times, and that petulance is a problem. I fully expect him to get a few red cards and multiple extended bans over the next few seasons.”

The incident in question is somewhat debated as to whether our No.27 was attempting to stamp on the foot of the opposition player, or if he was trying to scuff the penalty spot and affect the chances of Andre Ayew scoring his spot-kick.

Either way though, it’s certainly not the actions of a sportsman and so he can expect to receive some criticism whenever he acts in a way that will attract some critics.

There are many of our supporters who love the chaos that comes alongside the 23-year-old and, although it certainly needs controlling and focussing on the right things, this can give him the edge to be an even better player.

The former Benfica man did appear to only be trying to affect the chances of the opposition taking a penalty but these words from the former Irish international shows that this still can upset a lot of people.

The 61-year-old seems a little over the top in his criticism though and it’s odd to suggest that Jurgen Klopp can’t control the forward either, as questioning the German is something that most Liverpudlians don’t do.

Liverpool supporters have enjoyed watching the growing bond between Jude Bellingham, Jordan Henderson and Trent Alexander-Arnold from afar and one ex-Red has commented on how the youngster can learn from our skipper.

Writing for The Times, Adam Lallana said: ‘Every one of these England players has a super-strength and Henderson’s lies in his leadership. What has been interesting from afar is to see how Bellingham interacts with him on and off the pitch. I am sure that Bellingham will have been watching Henderson around the camp and on the field and picking up on the importance of that side of the game. He will look to add that to his make-up’.

The 19-year-old has a long list of suitors at the moment but our supporters are hoping that the increased time that he can spend with two of Jurgen Klopp’s most trusted lieutenants may help convince him on a move to Anfield.

England’s final group stage game against Wales saw our No.14 handed his first start of the tournament by Gareth Southgate and seeing as the Borussia Dortmund man was full of praise for him after the match, it’s clear that he enjoyed playing alongside him.

The Brighton and Hove Albion midfielder has a strong bond with our captain and is clearly someone who appreciates what he adds both on and off the pitch, if the Birmingham-born teenager can add this to his game too – he’ll be quite the player.

Let’s hope that the former Birmingham City teenager can learn these skills on Merseyside, following a glimpse at what he could become accustomed to in Qatar.

Liverpool supporters are always happy to see a world class player represent our club, as well as seeing a homegrown talent grace Anfield but in Steven Gerrard and Trent Alexander-Arnold – we have a combination of both.

Thanks to a video shared on the Champions League Instagram account, the passing of the two Scouse heroes was compared and it caught the attention of our former skipper.

Although he didn’t make a comment, the 42-year-old shared the video to his own Instagram stories, which shows that he was clearly impressed with what he saw.

It must be a special moment for our No.66 to see his hero share a video of the two of them together and let’s hope that he can go on to emulate even more achievements and landmarks reached by the Huyton-born midfielder.

Liverpool supporters may be a little selfish in enjoying the fact that Darwin Nunez is leaving Qatar following his elimination from the World Cup in the group stages.

Across Uruguay though, it’s a state of national mourning and outrage as they watched South Korea take their place in the knockout rounds and felt that VAR missed some contentious incidents in the game.

Because of this, our No.27 was walking in front of Edinson Cavani as he decided to topple the screen used by the referee to communicate with the VAR officials during the match.

It was quite a petulant show of disgust from the player but the lack of reaction from any of his teammates showed that they probably agreed with the motives behind his actions.

Jurgen Klopp is adored at Liverpool but given his obvious ties to Germany, many from his home nation have been calling for him to become the new manager of their national team.

Following the Germans being knocked out in the group stages in Qatar, Hansi Flick is facing calls to lose his job and amongst the favourites to replace him is our boss.

However, speaking with Sky Germany, the 55-year-old’s agent Marc Kosicke said: ‘This is a media topic, Jurgen has a contract at Liverpool until 2026 and he intends to fulfill it’.

There won’t have been many Liverpool supporters who would have expected the gaffer to leave the club but this level of reassurance is always good to hear.

So many Liverpool fans are eagerly watching England games in the hope that Jude Bellingham could soon be a Liverpool player and his bond with Trent Alexander-Arnold and Jordan Henderson seems to be growing stronger every day.

Speaking with England, our skipper compared his on-field intensity to the Borussia Dortmund man: “I can see that in Jude [Bellingham] and it’s incredible to see that from a 19-year-old. We’re cut from the same cloth in terms of how much we love football and dedicate our lives to the game. That helps me warm to him even more because of the maturity he has which is beyond his years”.

It’s clear that the 31-year-old feels a responsibility to look after some of the younger players in Gareth Southgate’s squad and so taking the 19-year-old under his wing may not necessarily relate to him moving to Anfield.

Whatever comes of this though, it’s great to see the leadership qualities that our skipper clearly possesses in huge amounts.

Liverpool have a host of current and former players at this year’s World Cup and one ex-Red scored for his nation in the final round of group stage games.

Xherdan Shaqiri put his side in a great position to book their place in the knockout rounds in Qatar and the 31-year-old will be hoping to add to his impressive tally of five goals in 11 games at the greatest stage in international football.

Liverpool seem to be interested in half the players in this year’s World Cup and now a new name has been added to the list of those who could possibly arrive at Anfield in the coming transfer windows.

As reported by Sky Sports Germany’s Florian Plettenberg: ‘News #Amrabat: Been told that many clubs from the Premier League observing him, especially #LFC (next to Bellingham & Caicedo). No negotiations now but he is open to leave #Fiorentina. Salary now around €3-4m + Boni. Price tag: More than €30m! Key player!’.

Sofyan Amrabat is currently part of a Moroccan squad that have impressed many in the competition and thus it would be no surprise to hear that many teams are interested in some of the best players from the nation.

The Fiorentina man has a year-and-a-half left on his current deal in Italy and has been deployed in central and defensive midfield this season, so therefore could be an interesting option to bolster the middle of the pitch.

With the possible departure of Naby Keita, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and James Milner at the end of the season – all eyes have been on marquee signings like Jude Bellingham but we need some others to also add to our ranks too.

We’ll have to wait and see if the 26-year-old ends up being our man but he’s certainly one to watch for the rest of the tournament in Qatar.

Uruguay had seemed set to go through to the Round of 16 as two goals scored by Giorgian de Arrascaeta put Diego Alonso’s in the driving seat in Group H.

As news filtered through of South Korea’s winning effort against Portugal, however, the mood quickly changed, leaving Luis Suarez anxious and close to tears on the bench.

It’s been a game of great quality and so it would be a massive shame to see both teams out of the Round of 16 should the score remain as it is.

Some fans online seemed to feel that the Uruguayan had aimed his effort at one of the opposition’s boots, though it was made clear in the half-time commentary the spot was the 23-year-old’s intended target as the £64m looked to make Andre Ayew’s task that much harder.

Diego Alonso’s men currently find themselves 2-0 up ahead of the second-half (at the time of writing).

Liverpool supporters have had the pleasure of witnessing some of the greatest players the world has ever seen and one man, whose name still echoes around Anfield today, has announced his retirement from the club – aged 75.

‘Steve Heighway on the wing, we had dreams and songs to sing’ is a familiar sound within the stadium and the man in focus in this line of ‘Fields of Anfield Road’, is ending his lengthy connection with the Reds.

After playing for the team between 1970 and 1981, winning a hugely impressive haul of trophies on the way, the Dublin-born midfielder returned to the club in 1989 to help run the academy.

Serving in this role until 2007, the former player helped nurture talents such as Steven Gerrard, Jamie Carragher and Michael Owen but was convinced to return to Kirkby in 2015.

Now, as confirmed on the club’s website: ‘Steve Heighway has announced his retirement from his coaching role with the Liverpool FC Academy at the age of 75’.

With a career working for Liverpool spanning nearly four decades, few can argue that the 75-year-old hasn’t given his all in helping the club in every way possible.

Even though he is stepping down though, the statement confirmed that he will still be attending games and helping whenever possible.

A true legend for the club on and off the pitch, enjoy your well earned retirement Steve!

In a similar vein to the ongoing updates around Liverpool’s ownership situation, it was, to a degree, inevitable that names would begin to start popping out of the woodwork the second Julian Ward’s upcoming departure was announced.

One of the first out of the hat was one Jurgen Klopp will be more than familiar with – former Borussia Dortmund visionary and failed Arsenal chief scout, Sven Mislintat.

The temptation for the current Reds boss will be to look back to the kind of outrageous signings his old colleague pulled off whilst scouting for the Signal Iduna Park-based outfit.

Could you blame the 55-year-old when looking at his success stories?

Robert Lewandowski, Shinji Kagawa, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Ilkay Gundogan and Mats Hummels.

It’s almost enough to make you forget all about Arsenal’s infamous swap deal for Henrikh Mkhitaryan that saw Alexis Sanchez go to Manchester United whilst in the last year of his contract at the Emirates (after the Gunners had rejected a £60m bid from Manchester City).

READ MORE: Jurgen Klopp’s agent now breaks silence on possible Liverpool exit amid Germany questions

Looking at that, quite frankly, insane collection of talent, some might be wondering why Liverpool’s decision-makers haven’t punched holes into their phones already in a bid to snap up the free agent.

Forget all about his misses – and believe us when we say there are quite a few – and forget about his hits.

With a potential takeover looming, Liverpool are reportedly reexamining how they operate across the club – including, critically, how they conduct transfers.

There have been suggestions, as a result, that we could move away from our model of sustainability and towards competing for higher calibre (and, consequently, higher value) targets.

A switch in approach would, one might reasonably imagine, be dependent on Fenway Sports Group handing over the keys to another party capable of financing such moves.

Whilst there is genuine interest in Liverpool, an offer has yet to materialise, which could work in Mislintat’s favour should FSG believe that a sale isn’t likely in the near future.

If a sale does get over the line, however, we need a sporting director who can reflect our potentially newfound flexibility in the market.

An ability to secure gems on the cheap that the club can grow won’t go amiss, but getting the big calls right – the ones that cost in the region of £60-100m (or beyond) – will be absolutely critical.

As a scout often tasked with finding the uncut gems the big dogs have failed to notice, we’re not absolutely confident that Sven Mislintat is the man who can fulfil that brief.

Jurgen Klopp has often been linked with the Germany job, though couldn’t take over from Joachim Low for obvious reasons.

An early exit from the World Cup could lead to Hansi Flick being given the boot, which would raise the possibility again, though it’s not one fans should hold out for judging by Florian Plettenberg’s latest tweet.

The Sky Sports journalist made it clear that the 55-year-old very much intends to honour his new contract with the Reds, which will keep him at the Anfield helm until the summer of 2026.

Luis Suarez and Uruguay are set to face Ghana once again in what is a rematch of their famous matchup in 2010, when our former striker handled the ball on the line and helped dump the final African nation out of the continent’s first World Cup tournament.

Speaking with the media ahead of the final group game in this year’s competition, the 35-year-old didn’t seem too apologetic: “I didn’t say sorry because I did the handball but Ghana’s player missed the penalty, not me.

“Maybe I would apologise if I tackled and injured a player but in this situation I took the red card, the referee gave a penalty and it’s not my fault because I didn’t miss the penalty.

“The player who missed it said he’d do the same. It’s not my responsibility to take the penalty.”

In fairness to the former Barcelona man, he isn’t to blame for Asamoah Gyan missing a penalty and then his side losing the shoot-out.

There will be plenty of focus on the forward during the game but he just did what he felt he had to do, in order for his team to win the game – it worked and now 12 years later the events are making headlines again.

Let’s hope that Darwin Nunez can be the man who steals the column inches, after he puts on a fine display in Qatar.
