The Champions League has often provided Liverpool with respite from their uneven domestic campaign, and Arne Slot's side once again delivered on the continental stage on matchday six with a hard-fought 1-0 win away to Inter Milan. That victory left the reigning Premier League champions level on points and goal difference with Atletico Madrid, although Liverpool currently sit outside the top eight due to an inferior goals-scored tally, with Real Madrid and Inter also locked on 12 points.

The Reds extended their unbeaten run to 12 matches with a 1-1 draw against the Clarets on Saturday, but given the circumstances-playing at Anfield against a Burnley side that's winless in their last 13 games-the result felt more like a missed opportunity than a point gained. Despite taking a 1-0 lead into halftime, outshooting Burnley 7-1 with shots on target and dominating possession (73-27%), Liverpool were ultimately undone by a lack of clinical finishing,

The Italian international has established himself as one of the best defenders in European football right now, and he could be an outstanding addition for Liverpool. The player is open to a transfer this year, and it will be interesting to see if Liverpool can get the deal done. Apart from Bastoni, Liverpool are looking at Nico Schlotterbeck as well. The Borussia Dortmund defender has been linked with an exit in recent months.

"I think some of the performances still have to be better. Within that, obviously, you've got [moments where] you throw it away, you've got a draw against Leeds at home, a draw against Sunderland at home - games that you are probably expected to win. But within that as well, you've got a draw at the Emirates, you've got a win at the San Siro - games that weren't easy. Obviously, 11 unbeaten is good. We kind of stopped the bad form, which is always pleasing. But we need to still lift our levels of performance, I think everyone knows that, and that's what we're working towards."

The Argentina international has shone during his time in La Liga after also impressing in a stint in the Premier League with Manchester City, even though he wasn't first choice there. Alvarez has gone on to score 40 goals in 83 games since moving to Atletico, and there has been talk of interest from Liverpool, as per Football Insider, and also from Chelsea, as per Fichajes.

Speculation surrounding Micky van de Ven's future at Tottenham has intensified after a sensational insider claim linked the defender with a dream move to Liverpool. According to a report from a trusted source on X, the Dutch international is pushing towards a summer exit, with Anfield identified as his preferred destination. The timing of the rumour has raised eyebrows, coming amid growing unrest at Spurs and a season that has begun to unravel both on and off the pitch.

Liverpool are reportedly prepared to break the British transfer record once again in an extraordinary attempt to sign Jude Bellingham, according to Spanish outlet Fichajes. The report claims the Reds are willing to pay an eye-watering 156 million to lure the England international away from Real Madrid, despite there being no indication that Los Blancos are open to any negotiations. Bellingham, who joined Real Madrid in 2023 and has since become one of the most influential midfielders in world football,

On paper, Jeremie Frimpong could slot into the role. Signed for his dynamism and versatility, Frimpong is a natural right-back. However, Slot's tactical adjustments during Mohamed Salah's AFCON absence have pushed Frimpong into an advanced role on the right wing. His pace and attacking instincts have been crucial in compensating for Salah's absence, making it unlikely Slot will sacrifice that attacking outlet by moving him back permanently.
