Liverpool Rumours 2

11 Jun 2026 09:31:09.
I've just read of Football 365 (Make of that source what you will) that Liverpool have given Leverkusen assurances they will not trigger Quansah's buy back clause, in exchange for future first dibs on Kennet Eichhorn, who has a release clause that activates when he's 19 in his new contract with them...

Seems really weird and probably not true, but thought it was worth sharing.

11 Jun 2026 10:20:36
If he has a release clause then having first dibs etc means nothing. Not sure the BB clause amount but if it's around £50m I'd buy back.

11 Jun 2026 10:32:23
I think that Quansah's buy back is something higher this window (guessing, but c£80m) and lower in the 2027 window (again guessing, but c£60m). I'd wait.

Who knows what sort of informal arrangement we may have with Leverkusen?? But that would be brilliant!!

11 Jun 2026 10:43:01
I read something like this yesterday. Something about a release clause that could only be triggered by us at a certain point in the near future, when he would be old enough to actually sign for us.

11 Jun 2026 10:45:35
I think Quansah would be a great fit if brought back- could have starting opportunity, and I see him more advanced than Jacquet or Leoni.

11 Jun 2026 11:04:04
Quansah is a liability and no point in bringing him back. A year in Germany doesn't change that. Although they are different positions, it is crazy that Quansah is in the England squad and not Trent.

11 Jun 2026 11:15:34
Quansah wouldn't be in the squad if Tuchel was seeing his ex girlfriend too, Kemlyn.

11 Jun 2026 11:18:15
Arnold has been largely crap for Madrid, Kemlyn. That's why he's sat in Madrid dreaming about that Balon D'or instead of being at the World Cup. If you're Tuchel, do you take along a player in poor form who can't defend, or take someone else? Arnold has no right to rely on his reputation alone. He's just not that good.

11 Jun 2026 11:20:37
Quansah was garbage, again, fans wanting an ex back.

11 Jun 2026 12:22:51
Arnold's brilliance was down to the system as much as to how good he is. Jurgen's genius (or Pep if you believe him) played a big part in his success, and now he just has his talent to fall back on - another big fish in a vast pond.

This is not the end for TAA. He will come good at some point.

11 Jun 2026 13:17:52
They're teasing you.

11 Jun 2026 14:34:45
A poor player in poor form who can't defend. Have you seen Djed Spence play? If he can go to the World Cup, then anyone can ;).

12 Jun 2026 06:20:02
Agree @Drac, it's entertaining when Djed gets his head down and goes off on one of his aimless solo runs.

12 Jun 2026 13:20:46
If Quansah was that good, he wouldn't be let go in the first place. Transfer rumours are all over the shop at the moment, and it is a possibility. But I don't see this happening.

11 Jun 2026 08:49:22
Being reported now that Liverpool have submitted an opening bid for Yan Diomande.

11 Jun 2026 09:19:24
Sorry McGoveb, this very well may be true, but the article that is reporting it now - Empire of the Kop - is referencing what they call a "reputable account on X".

Linked through, this "reputable account" is none other than our chicken shop employee, Mr Indykaila.



As I said, this may well be true - a broken clock is right twice a day - but I'd be nervous relying just on this source.

11 Jun 2026 11:38:01
To be fair to Indy, he has been far better in the last 12 months, even Ornstein credited him. I've seen many stories he broke first.

12 Jun 2026 06:21:21
@Zed, what was that about a broken clock. 😀😉

12 Jun 2026 09:11:11
Indy Kaila is no longer owned by the KFC guy. The account was bought out a few years back by one of those football websites where they click bait you into reading articles and just flood you with adverts.

12 Jun 2026 15:05:55
WDWiV, is there further news? Can only see the same old articles recycling news from the last couple of days?

10 Jun 2026 21:30:22
Can the Eds or any of the ITKS confirm if there is a clause in Trent's contract which says he can leave for free within 2 years but only to Liverpool,

10 Jun 2026 21:47:48
I'm not an ITK but I can categorically tell you that's nonsense.

10 Jun 2026 22:02:34
Trent is f***ed and it's not even 9 f****** months yet 😂.

10 Jun 2026 22:10:27
The re-sign every former LFC player fetish, bizarre!

10 Jun 2026 22:30:19
No.

Diddly out.

10 Jun 2026 22:40:03
He's injury prone and a knobhead. No thanks.

10 Jun 2026 22:54:24
Racey, are you or your source getting their info from clickbait sites? Serious question.

10 Jun 2026 23:15:05
No, I don't. The Trent question was just something that's been mentioned by an agent I know do thought I'd put it out there.

11 Jun 2026 00:18:44
Agent Phil Mckrackin..??? My agent's agent told me prime Ronaldinho was coming on a free... but if I'm wrong, it's my agent.

11 Jun 2026 00:31:50
Wouldn't know his contract, probably in Spanish.
Other than that, let him go anywhere else bar here.

11 Jun 2026 02:34:26
Agent Fat Kid from Bolton.

11 Jun 2026 05:37:15
Jeez, calm down, peeps.
Racey just asked a question...

11 Jun 2026 08:04:09
Nobody will know, but it would be a very strange clause to have in a contract at any level.

Don't like the way it all went with Trent leaving, but he was a great player for us.

11 Jun 2026 08:30:17
I don't see Real getting rid of both their right backs this summer. They didn't renew Carvajal's contract, and the only reason to get rid of Trent would be to free up wages, but would also mean a lot of work for just one position. They have bigger problems within their squad.

11 Jun 2026 10:11:53
This agent you know, Racey, must be an IKFA.

11 Jun 2026 10:40:11
Ed002 used to love a "clause" rumour 😆

11 Jun 2026 11:38:46
I am quite happy watching him challenge for the Ballon d'Or from here.

11 Jun 2026 13:08:56
Real only sign players for free, they don't let them go for free too.

11 Jun 2026 15:29:07
I wonder why LFC never looks into free signings? For e.g., Julian Brandt can be a good midfielder, probably better than Maca right now. Leon Goretzka, Fabinho (although getting old) can be a good option for backup in DM. Karim Adeyemi's contract is expiring too.

One of best things during Klopp's prime era was we always had good cover from non-starters when key players were injured, such as Ox on wing, Origi in attack, and Milner in midfield or defence, etc.

10 Jun 2026 20:51:19
Can the Eds or any ITK's confirm if we have reached an agreement to sign Diomandé for £85 mil? He's supposedly on route to complete a medical as we speak.

Thanks.

10 Jun 2026 22:02:57
Source, bro?

10 Jun 2026 22:03:10
According to who?

Ken.

10 Jun 2026 22:11:56
Copter tracker? ... . : )

10 Jun 2026 22:35:06
Not a reliable source, I'm afraid - I came across the information on Twitter/X.

Just thought I'd check to see if anyone here had heard something similar.

10 Jun 2026 22:50:42
It's amazing how many of these footballers are p***y-whipped.

11 Jun 2026 03:33:50
99% of football on Twitter is either fake to attract engagement or guess work to hopefully hit 1-2 things right per month and appear to be ITK.

Just ignore.

I only read the ITKs and Eds here or when interest/signings are confirmed on something like BBC. No point bothering with anything else.

11 Jun 2026 07:18:22
The only one with cred on X is rioferdy5. Whoever that is. He talks about complex geopolitics, I listen. He talks about nuclear theory, I listen.

10 Jun 2026 17:15:14
Addition for the Desperate Scouse Wives series?

I have a large client base business and today I have learnt that one of my clients is a cousin of a playing Liverpool first teamer.
Obviously intrigued by this, I asked if they knew any rumours? They offered up that Curtis Jones deal to Milan was almost done, except the change of management had given Curtis cold feet on the move. But he's getting quite a bit of pushback from his fiancé, who wants to live in the fashion capital Milan. She thinks it's the perfect place to help with her modelling and plans of opening her own fashion boutique there, we're already in motion. Curtis is caught between a rock and a hard place on what the right thing to do is.
The other rumour they offered up was TAA regretting his move and seeking a return to Liverpool.

Nice new contact but won't often see them, as it's a monthly arrangement for the client and our paths don't always cross each time.

Over and out.

10 Jun 2026 17:27:50
Arnold soiled his pants and now he can sit in them. Don't want that rat back.

10 Jun 2026 17:51:06
Love it, top rumour. Invite her for lunch.

10 Jun 2026 17:52:49
Love it, old-school rumour. Hope Curtis does what's best for him. The missus doesn't need to be in Milan, she wants to be in Milan. I hope he stays, Iraola could definitely improve him.

I doubt very much that Trent is genuinely looking for a move back.

10 Jun 2026 17:56:09
I think we all agree that we need to purchase a right back. With this in mind, would Trent be a viable option? Forget the circumstances around him leaving for Real. Is he good enough for Liverpool? Purely on a football basis.

10 Jun 2026 18:07:55
Of course he's good enough, Gaga, but I doubt the club are gonna pay the £50-60m Real would want after he went for a song. Personally, I wouldn't take him back. It's not the fact he fancied a new challenge, it's the way he went about it that doesn't sit with me.

10 Jun 2026 18:10:25
Curtis' fiance is a model? I wonder what attracted her to the millionaire footballer...?

10 Jun 2026 18:59:16
Gaga, if you want to pay £60m for somebody who intentionally ran down his contract to leave on a free, in his prime, you can do it out of your own pocket, mate.

10 Jun 2026 19:03:47
They've been together for eight years and he was hardly a millionaire at that age, was he?

10 Jun 2026 19:09:41
Chewy, we didn't pay a fee for him, and he gave us almost a decade of sublime football. He won't return as it would be so toxic, but we are shooting ourselves in the foot if we let him go to City or Chelsea.



He is possibly our best right back of all time. That cheeky corner vs Barcelona just sums him up to me. A proper scallywag, and always came across as a really nice lad.

10 Jun 2026 19:18:43
Doesn't matter to me that we didn't pay for him. I doubt a kid who came through at Madrid and became a global star at the club would not do that to them to get a move to us. Nor would it happen at any of the top sides. Was he not confident enough that they'd want him if they had to pay us the market value? Like duck he was, he knew the only way they wanted him is if he was free.

That's just my opinion. I know others think differently and I know other players will leave on frees like Ibou recently, but their tagline wasn't "this means more" for years.

10 Jun 2026 19:40:52
Is The Lid taken on the new role of "Banter Police"?

Seems to be shutting any banter down very promptly.

Smile mate, it's just a funny website.

10 Jun 2026 19:48:52
Couldn't care less, Monstersouness, it's the principle, mate. I don't like his attitude either, he's developed an arrogance he didn't have in the early years. I've no time for it. The success went to his head. He thinks he's better than he really is, and got far too big for his boots.

Can't even get into the England team now after saying he was leaving to further his career. It's just embarrassing for him. Serves him right. He can wallow on the bench in Madrid, with his Ballon d'Or.

10 Jun 2026 19:55:11
I wouldn't want Trent back, he's made his bed.

10 Jun 2026 20:08:55
If Arnold wants to return, we should take him back.
Who has never made a mistake in their life?
We should get both Trent and Nunez back.
Keep Curtis as he is a valuable player.

10 Jun 2026 20:18:12
If TAA wants to come back, he takes a wage cut and Madrid accept a £10m fee.

10 Jun 2026 20:51:33
Who ain't made no mistake? Not me, not now, not never. Capisce?!

10 Jun 2026 20:56:46
This isn't a playground, fellas, it's elite sport at the very highest level.

If Trent wants to come back and we can do a deal that suits all parties, it would be ridiculous to not do it just because 'he laid his bed and now he can lie in it'.

I don't blame Trent for wanting to try Madrid. The opportunity was there and he took it. At the end of the day, he's a young lad who's been brought up in the Northwest of England and wanted to try something new.

I don't think any of us could honestly say that we wouldn't do the same if we were lucky enough to be in his position. If you say you wouldn't be tempted, you're just lying to yourself.

I don't like the way it went down, but that's the game. He fulfilled his contract that we gave him and then moved on, as is his right. I really don't understand all the bitterness.

10 Jun 2026 20:57:15
There is just no evidence of Trent becoming arrogant. Judging him on his performances, he took a long time to get over being outjumped for the Real Madrid goal. His performance vs Man U was that of a player overawed by the occasion, which he knew might be his last.

He was far better defensively than we think.

Konate looked great with Trent at right back. As for Salah, how effective was he when Trent didn't play?

A great player. He and Robbo are the best fullback combo since the famous one of Brazil. Sorry, but he really was a legend - and needs a bit more love in my view.

10 Jun 2026 21:10:13
Arnold is a below average fullback with an above average right foot and an ego which far exceeds his talent. He's nowhere near the best right back in Europe, and, quite frankly, it would be a disgrace to pay Madrid a lot of money for an injury prone, soon to be 28 player who left on a free transfer after stringing the club along and insulting the supporters.

No, he can stay gone.

10 Jun 2026 21:11:43
Again I will ask the question. Leaving aside many supporters' opinions
on the circumstances around his exit. Is Trent good enough to play right-back for Liverpool? Forget your feelings towards him. Imagine you are Andoni, he is good enough. In my opinion he is. That's not to say he should return. If you think he is not good enough, why?

10 Jun 2026 21:15:08
Riosstepover - He strung fans along for 2 years, like he was trying to negotiate a new contract (essentially lying to us), and the whole time he was learning Spanish. He said his dream was to be captain of Liverpool. I fully understand the sense of betrayal, and I don't think he should be allowed to come running back to Liverpool and all is forgiven just coz it didn't work out in Spain.

If it goes well over there, he'd have no intention of coming back.

10 Jun 2026 21:25:13
I say it again, again. Madrid is a poo poo hole. No one in their right mind would go to the Spanish equivalent of Norfolk-on-concrete. Mutant wanna-be's. That's all, folks. Take him back, if the boss decides that! But he won't, because as talented as he is, he is tactically disruptive. Galatasaray beckons!

10 Jun 2026 21:40:49
@Vik, When you say TAA is a below average RB, are you including the Championship, League 1, League 2, and National League sides or are you talking about a couple of dozen RBs who play at the elite level?

10 Jun 2026 22:09:43
Ballon d'Or - Carte d'Or more like.

Thanks for all the fish, Trent, but I think you should 'Go for gold' somewhere else.

10 Jun 2026 22:35:07
You don't get bent out of shape when a rubbish player leaves. Never hold a grudge, life is too short. Ian Rush left and came back, granted in different circumstances. Everyone makes mistakes, everyone. I was gutted when he left, but would love to see him feeding Isac and Wirtz.

10 Jun 2026 22:35:45
Gaga, history and feelings aside, for £60m, absolutely not. There's a reason he's second choice to a 34yr old Carvajal. It's the same reason he'll probably end up playing backup to a 30 year old Dumfries too.

The fact of the matter is that Trent is a poor RB, but his passing made him a great asset to Klopp's system. We tailored his role to suit his skillset. He was never going to have success elsewhere unless his new manager understood that clearly.

You can't just put Trent into any team and expect him to operate as a standard RB, you'll be massively let down. Hence, he's been a flop at Real; they saw nothing but the highlight reel, they thought they were getting a world class RB, they had no idea he was incapable of tracking his man, or looking over his shoulder. We knew his shortcomings, and were willing to make that sacrifice because of what else he brought to the table. He won't be afforded that elsewhere.

11 Jun 2026 00:28:16
Did he string the club and the fans along for 2 years, Gman? Really? Do you know his inner thoughts?

Or is it possible that it really was a tough decision and he hadn't decided until the second half of last season?

We'll never know the answer to that question, but to present your theory that he knew and so had been learning Spanish for 2 years as if it is a fact is a bit disingenuous.

People got annoyed because a scouser who had come through the ranks and achieved what any one of us has always dreamed of achieving had decided to leave at the end of his contract.

They then booed him on the pitch and castigated him for doing an interview in Spanish. Gordon just did his first interview in Spain in Spanish too. Has he been learning for 2 years because he knew he was off to Barca?

It's all made up nonsense. None of us know what Trent was feeling or when he decided to leave. It's only bitterness that has fed this story of him stringing us along and reading Spanish for Dummies before he went to bed every night.

11 Jun 2026 00:40:18
Rush was sold. He didn't leave.
Trent's not wanted anymore, like Ibou. They pulled the wool of fans' eyes. Don't want him back ever.

11 Jun 2026 00:57:16
Does TAA make the squad better? Yes, end of. imo, why cut off your nose to spite face?

11 Jun 2026 03:55:44
@Chewy, same question Insdled, @Vik - "Trent is a poor RB", what criteria are you applying to rate a player as poor?

11 Jun 2026 06:02:51
I have to say, most Liv fans were disappointed and upset when Trent decided to leave and join RM. While I do respect his decision to try new pastures, I just felt that he could have done something to help the club recoup some money, more than what we got from RM.

I'm not totally against the idea of having him back, if there are legs in the rumours, but definitely not as a right back. If we'd use him as a midfielder, I think that would be good.



To be honest, one of the reasons why he was regarded as one of the best right backs in the world is not really about his defending capabilities, but rather his offensive play. The assists and goals that he contributed made him stand out in the world of right backs.

Many times, he was easily exposed by opposition teams and was seen as our weak link in defense. So, if we want him back as a right back, I would say no.

11 Jun 2026 06:12:35
The fact that nearly every team we played against targeted the right hand side of our defence should tell you everything you need to know about Trent and his ability to defend. For the last 2 years, he was shocking and was often just walking around the pitch while Konate tried to cover 2 positions.
Great right foot, but poor defender for me.

11 Jun 2026 06:34:12
If he's as poor as some people are claiming, why get so upset about him leaving, whatever the circumstances?

Just be honest, most people loved Trent and that's why it hurts so much that he left the way he did. If you're non plus about him as a player, then there's really no reason to feel such anger, is there?

People make mistakes, and, for some reason, when it comes to football, that goes out of the window.



I know he will not come back because he'd be far too expensive. Would undoubtably improve the team, though.

11 Jun 2026 08:11:33
Great rumour and fully makes sense. Thanks!!

Personally, I don't think Curtis is consistent enough, and don't think we would be looking to bring him to Liverpool if playing elsewhere. So let him go for the right fee.

Trent. The way he left the club will make it hard for a return, and, honestly, we need a good RB who can defend, that is not TAA.

11 Jun 2026 08:29:58
Jilted lover syndrome in full swing.
Some just can't let go.

11 Jun 2026 08:37:44
Chewy, how many managers do you want to work their magic on Curtis? He's an enigma and nearly 26, needs to be moved on.
How long do people keep saying he's going to step up a level?

10 Jun 2026 14:11:28
Romano has given the "here we go" for Kenny Squirrel to join Leverkusen for €9m.

10 Jun 2026 14:28:23
Is that the son of Sandy Cheeks from Bikini Bottom?

10 Jun 2026 14:45:48
You're barking up the wrong tree, with this one!

10 Jun 2026 14:55:33
Bayernspace says that there is a release clause for Liverpool that activates when he's 19.

10 Jun 2026 15:07:33
What the hell are we talking about?

10 Jun 2026 15:14:01
How old is 18 in squirrel years?

10 Jun 2026 15:17:54
We'll have to make sure we squirrel some money away for when he turns 19.

10 Jun 2026 15:18:58
88 Rigsby.

10 Jun 2026 15:49:55
German for squirrel, I believe.
Good one!

10 Jun 2026 15:52:55
Man of Todd

Kennet Eichorn translates to Kenny Squirell. 😀

10 Jun 2026 16:59:17
This is just nuts.

10 Jun 2026 17:06:13
Romano should have stayed in TJ Hooker.

10 Jun 2026 17:29:06
It's about time he made up his mind.
Kenny can't be sitting on the fence forever.
He kept it quiet about Leverkusen as well.
He must be a secret squirrel.

10 Jun 2026 17:55:04
Haha, thanks Liver_la, that is funny!

10 Jun 2026 19:44:23
What an interesting, long tail.

10 Jun 2026 20:46:29
Trent back on a loan deal with a formal apology to the fans? Any takers?

10 Jun 2026 21:47:49
A formal apology? Get over yourself. He's doing a job and trying to do what is best for him and his family.

10 Jun 2026 14:11:28
Romano has given the "here we go" for Kenny Squirrel to join Leverkusen for €9m.

10 Jun 2026 14:37:44
That's nuts.

10 Jun 2026 15:10:59
So he could still be a Red Squirell.

10 Jun 2026 13:39:03
Xavier Parker kiddy from Man City we have poached will sign next month.

10 Jun 2026 14:22:41
Apparently, Man City are fuming, as they see him as an elite talent. He's a 16-year-old AM likened to Eberechi Eze in style, and he has also captained England at U16s level. Some are saying this is as big of a coup as when we took Rio Ngumoha from Chelsea. Parker is allegedly a Liverpool fan and desperate to make the move.

10 Jun 2026 15:16:40
I believe Lady Penelope is fuming too.
She'll have to sell the pink Roller and get the bus.

10 Jun 2026 15:20:52
You're on fire today, Rigsby. You must be getting an extra touch off Miss Jones. 😉

10 Jun 2026 15:56:22
Love these kind of signings. With Parker, Eden, Abe and Rio, we would have some outstanding young English talents at the club. Doesn't seem right England heading off to the WC without a single LFC player in the ranks. Won't go out of my way to watch them now as much as I would have when Stevie or Trent was in the squad.

10 Jun 2026 17:32:06
Thanks, Barry.
Recently she said I can call her Ruth.
You might need to buy a hat, mate.

11 Jun 2026 00:49:41
Ooooooh, Miss Jones! 😂

10 Jun 2026 11:49:21
Hi all,

Liverpool have enquired again about Warren Zaire Emery recently.

He is hugely admired by Edwards. It’s believed that PSG plan on keeping him but if agent tittle tattle is true, the player may like the idea of the move.

10 Jun 2026 12:15:59
Think that would be a very good signing - I heard talk that he was one of a few, including Zabarnyi, offered to clubs as surplus - I would take them both if true. 🤞🏻

10 Jun 2026 12:33:29
Always liked the look of Zaire Emery. With the right coaching he could be the next midfield star from France...

And, born in Mar 2006, he would qualify as U21 for 26-27 and 27-28, so no need to worry about our non-HG spots.

10 Jun 2026 12:41:15
That would be some signing. It would surprise me if PSG let him go.

10 Jun 2026 12:49:05
Much prefer him to Barcola if we sent PSG money.

10 Jun 2026 12:57:31
Very good player who can play across all midfield positions, plus he also covered right back when Hakimi was out injured... Would love us to sign him but can't see PSG letting him go.

10 Jun 2026 13:24:29
Would be a nice signing but very little chance I think.

10 Jun 2026 13:37:02
Played 54 times for PSG this year. Doesn't seem like someone they want to move on.

10 Jun 2026 13:50:34
Dream MF signing. Get rid of Macca and go all out for this kid.

10 Jun 2026 13:56:36
Great player, but of what we need.
We need a DM.
What's our midfield 3 then? Szob, Emery and Wirtz?
No thanks.
