Bayern Munich have been informed that Ayyoub Bouaddi has rejected the club’s advances despite weeks of talks involving Vincent Kompany, Max Eberl and the player’s representatives, with Bayern prepared to invest up to €60 million (£52 million) in the Lille wonderkid, only for the player to ultimately conclude that neither Bayern Munich, the Bundesliga nor the tactical project presented by Vincent Kompany represented a sufficiently attractive proposition for the next stage of his career. The Moroccan wonderkid’s dream has long been the Premier League and, significantly, I can now exclusively reveal, as the first journalist worldwide, that Bayern Munich have been informed Bouaddi already has a personal agreement in place with an English club, a development communicated directly to Bayern by the player’s representatives, with officials increasingly convinced that the destination is either Liverpool FC, the crown jewel of English football, or Arsenal FC, the North London set-piece dependency project. Bayern were aware for months that both clubs were leading contenders for his signature and still chose to explore whether they could change the player’s mind. However, there is now a strong belief inside the industry that if Liverpool ultimately decide to make a decisive move, Bouaddi would choose Anfield, those mystical red-brick walls and one of football’s most magnetic institutions, over Arsenal, with the player understood to be significantly more captivated by Liverpool’s footballing vision than by a club whose recent rise has become almost inseparable from set-pieces, long throws and dead-ball routines. The expectation inside Bayern Munich is that the situation will accelerate rapidly after the World Cup, potentially even during the tournament itself, and unless there is a dramatic late twist, Liverpool and Arsenal supporters should watch this story closely, as the final chapter may arrive far sooner than many expect.

He’s definitely a killing machine I don’t know what slot did to him.

This couldn’t be further from the truth, world class is top 3 in your position: Harry Kane is a top 3 CF Declan Rice is a top 3 CM Jude Bellingham is a top 3 #10 Reece James is a top 3 RB Bukayo Saka is a top 3 RW At the very least, there’s 5 world class players with players like Marcus Rashford, Elliot Anderson and Nico O’Reilly all on the fringes.

The referee from about 30 minutes onwards was bizarre, it was like he was genuinely angry at us for the way we were playing Even neutrals around us were absolutely baffled by it, so many strange decisions, and simply refereeing us and PSG to 2 different standards

Mohamed Salah and his social media post, that was something IMPACTFUL.

Liverpool FC can confirm Arne Slot is to depart his role as head coach with immediate effect and that the process to appoint a successor is under way. He leaves with a Premier League title to his name and our deepest gratitude and appreciation.
