Liverpool told to do ‘everything they can’ to sign £63m star from Chelsea
Liverpool have been urged to prioritize the signing of Marc Cucurella from Chelsea this summer as the club looks to bring in a new left-back ahead of the upcoming season.
With Arne Slot preparing for life after Andy Robertson, speculation continues to build around who will take over the role on the left side of defense.

Robertson, a key figure in Liverpool’s recent success, has been a standout performer over the last eight years, featuring in more than 300 matches and playing a crucial role in Premier League and Champions League victories.
However, the Scottish international has seen a decline in form over the past two seasons, and at 31 years of age, the club is now planning for the future.
Reports have suggested that Liverpool are eyeing Bournemouth’s Milos Kerkez as a potential replacement.
The Hungarian left-back has impressed throughout the current campaign, helping Bournemouth stay in contention for European qualification. His performances have not gone unnoticed, with a reported £50 million release clause in his contract drawing attention from top clubs.
Despite the growing interest in Kerkez, former Liverpool defender Glen Johnson has cast doubt on the idea that he is the ideal fit for the Reds.
Instead, Johnson believes Liverpool should turn their full attention to Marc Cucurella, insisting the Chelsea defender would be a far better option.
He stated that Cucurella has what it takes to slot seamlessly into Liverpool’s squad and match the intensity and mentality expected at Anfield.
Cucurella, who joined Chelsea from Brighton in a deal worth over £60 million in 2022, initially raised eyebrows with his price tag.
However, the 26-year-old has become a vital player for both club and country, making 45 appearances this season and playing a significant role in Spain’s triumph at last summer’s European Championship.
Johnson emphasized the importance of Liverpool making the right choice at left-back this summer, noting that Cucurella has stood out as one of the Premier League’s best in that position.
He highlighted the defender’s standout performance against Liverpool not long ago, describing him as a relentless presence on the pitch who defends solidly, excels in possession, and contributes going forward with goals and assists.
While Johnson admits that prising Cucurella away from Chelsea might be challenging, he remains confident that a deal could be done for the right price, as every player has a value.
He also expressed concern that Liverpool might be overlooking a top-tier talent in their pursuit of alternatives.
In addition to strengthening the left-back position, Liverpool are also expected to target reinforcements in midfield and up front as the club aims to mount a strong title defense next season.
With a 15-point lead over domestic rivals this term, the focus is now on building a squad capable of sustaining success under new leadership.

‘We want him’ – Club chief confirms he wants to sign Man Utd outcast in permanent transfer
Andre Onana could remain in Turkey beyond his loan spell, with Trabzonspor keen to secure him on a permanent deal.
The 30-year-old moved to Trabzonspor after falling out of favour at Manchester United, who brought in Senne Lammens last summer. Since then, Lammens has established himself as the club’s first-choice keeper, paving the way for Onana’s temporary switch.
In Turkey, however, Onana has rediscovered his form and quickly become a key figure. He recently grabbed attention with a standout performance in the Turkish Cup, saving three consecutive penalties to help his side overcome Samsunspor and reach the semi-finals.
The moment sparked widespread reactions online, especially from United supporters recalling their earlier penalty shootout defeat to Grimsby Town, where Onana managed just one save.
Trabzonspor president Ertugrul Dogan has openly expressed the club’s desire to keep the goalkeeper. He indicated that while Onana has his own career plans, the club would be eager to make the move permanent if the circumstances align, leaving the final decision in the player’s hands.
Back in England, United are expected to consider selling Onana, particularly with Lammens now firmly established as their number one. The club will likely aim to recover a significant portion of the £47.5 million they paid to sign him from Inter Milan in 2023, with two years still remaining on his contract.
Beyond his cup heroics, Onana has been a consistent presence in the league, starting every match for Trabzonspor and playing a vital role in their push for the title. His performances have earned strong praise in Turkey, with the club currently sitting third in the table, just six points behind leaders Galatasaray.

Man City place Arsenal ‘bottles’ for sale outside Etihad Stadium before 2025/26 Premier League decider
Manchester City appear to have kicked off the psychological battle ahead of their Premier League showdown with Arsenal.
In the build-up to the match, bottles branded with the Arsenal logo were reportedly being sold outside the stadium, priced cheaply and seemingly intended as a tongue-in-cheek way for home fans to mock the visiting supporters.
The stunt draws inspiration from a recent viral moment at Stamford Bridge, where a City fan was seen jokingly “drinking Arsenal tears” during their emphatic 3-0 win over Chelsea—a clip that quickly spread across social media.
With tensions already high given the importance of the fixture, the gesture adds another layer to the rivalry between the two sides. Arsenal, meanwhile, will be focused on responding where it matters most—on the pitch—as they aim to silence critics and deliver a strong result in what could be a defining game in the title race.

Bruno Fernandes responds to Manchester United star’s dig at Chelsea flop Alejandro Garnacho
Alejandro Garnacho faced criticism from his former Manchester United teammates following Chelsea’s latest Premier League setback.
A first-half goal from Matheus Cunha secured a narrow but important win for United, strengthening the position of Michael Carrick’s side in the race for Champions League qualification. Chelsea, meanwhile, continue to struggle, with the defeat marking their fourth consecutive league loss without finding the net.
Pressure is mounting on head coach Liam Rosenior, who only took charge a few months ago after replacing Enzo Maresca. While the club has not publicly wavered in its support, questions are beginning to emerge over several players, including Garnacho, whose performances have failed to meet expectations since his £40 million move from Old Trafford.
Reports suggest Chelsea could be open to offers for the 21-year-old after a difficult start to life at Stamford Bridge. He had an early opportunity to impress against his former side after coming on for the injured Estevao, but once again struggled to make an impact, finding it hard to break through a United defence that was missing several first-choice centre-backs.

Garnacho also received a hostile reception from United supporters during the match, and the reaction appeared to carry over beyond the pitch. After the game, Luke Shaw shared an image on social media showing himself standing over Garnacho following a challenge. Bruno Fernandes responded with a playful but pointed comment, while former teammate Alex Telles also joined in with reactions.
Chelsea’s broader struggles are becoming increasingly concerning. They now sit four points behind Liverpool in the race for fifth place, despite having played an extra game. The current run—four straight league defeats without scoring—is their worst in nearly three decades, with an even longer drought not seen since 1912.

Across all competitions, the form is equally worrying, with six losses in their last seven matches and 16 goals conceded during that stretch. A significant portion of their recent goals have come in a single outing against Port Vale, highlighting their lack of consistency in front of goal.
After the match, Rosenior admitted uncertainty about what failing to qualify for the Champions League could mean for his future. He acknowledged the result was difficult to take, especially given that Chelsea created numerous chances but failed to convert them. He pointed out that United capitalised on a limited opportunity, while his side were unable to make their attacking pressure count.
Despite the frustration, Rosenior emphasized the need for continued effort and improvement, insisting that the team must find a way to turn their form around before the situation worsens further.
