From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

Liverpool have been handed a huge boost in their pursuit of a new winger. The Reds still have conversations to have with Mohamed Salah soon after his return from AFCON, with Egypt now into the last four. The Egyptian is reportedly unhappy with his role under manager Arne Slot this season. But with focus for now being switched elsewhere, FSG have identified a potential young candidate who wants to become a Liverpool player and is willing to snub other advances from some of Europe's biggest clubs.

According to a report from Fichajes, Liverpool have identified Roony Bardghji as a key target and are prepared to submit an offer worth around €50 million to prise him away from the Blaugrana. The reported interest comes at a crucial moment for both clubs, as Liverpool are actively planning for life after Mohamed Salah, with the Egyptian forward widely expected to leave next summer.

The Italian club have already filled their non-EU player slots for the current season, meaning a January move would be impossible even if all parties were willing. Instead, the Giallorossi are said to be exploring the financial and sporting feasibility of a summer deal that could see the 33-year-old return to Serie A, where he previously impressed during spells with Fiorentina and Roma earlier in his career.

- Liverpool are keen on signing Real Madrid midfielder Eduardo Camavinga, according to TEAMtalk. The Reds are long-term admirers of the 23-year-old, but it is reported that Los Blancos won't consider parting ways with him during the January transfer window. Camavinga has made 16 appearances across all competitions this season, though 10 of those have been from the bench, and remains contracted at the Bernabeu until the summer of 2029.

As the January 2026 transfer window approaches, one of its most intriguing stories is close to conclusion: Antoine Semenyo, Bournemouth's explosive winger, looks set to join Manchester City. For Liverpool, who were strongly linked earlier in the season, the question looms large-did they miss a golden opportunity to strengthen their attack, or was stepping away the right decision? The reigning Premier League champions were said to have made contact with a view of a potential transfer in November and gone quiet afterwards, opening the door for others to swoop in and take advantage of such a player being available on the winter market.
