Hamann Tips Liverpool To Consider Isak Sale To Barcelona In 2026

Alexander Isak
December 2025

Dietmar Hamann believes Liverpool may consider selling record signing Alexander Isak to Barcelona in summer 2026 if his underwhelming form persists, with the £125m striker managing just two goals in 15 appearances after arriving in a blockbuster 2025 window alongside Florian Wirtz. Hamann suggests Isak’s future will depend on Hugo Ekitike’s development and how Liverpool’s attack settles, arguing that the Swede’s proven quality at Newcastle ensures strong interest from Europe’s elite, while Wirtz’s long-term role under Arne Slot will also be scrutinised if big bids arrive.

Fifteen year old attacker Kai Morrall is set to leave Liverpool for free to join Leeds’ academy, ending an eight year spell at Kirkby in search of a clearer pathway to first team football after mutually agreeing to part ways with the Reds. The Ireland youth international, who joined Liverpool at under nine level and can play wide or centrally, chose Leeds after concluding his development would be better served elsewhere. Because the exit was mutually agreed, Leeds avoid compensation while gaining a highly rated attacker for their youth setup.

Mohamed Salah’s extended applause for Liverpool fans after the win over Brighton has been read by body-language expert Darren Stanton as a likely “swan song”, with the analyst suggesting the occasion looked and felt like a farewell even without any official announcement on the forward’s future. Restored to the squad after clear-the-air talks, Salah took a slow lap of Anfield post-match, clapping supporters as banners hailed his achievements. Stanton highlighted apparent tears, micro-expressions of sadness and the timing before AFCON as signs Salah internally recognises he may never again walk out there as a Liverpool player.

Mohamed Salah returned from his self inflicted exile to play 70 minutes off the bench against Brighton, setting up Hugo Ekitike’s second goal as Liverpool won 2-0 and climbed to sixth in the table before losing him to Africa Cup of Nations duty. Slot named him on the bench after their public rift, then turned to him when Joe Gomez went off injured, later describing Salah as a constant threat and insisting private talks will stay in house while accepting he now departs with other attackers still missing.

Salah is expected to rejoin Liverpool’s matchday squad against Brighton after clear the air talks with Arne Slot, ending a brief exile triggered by his “thrown under the bus” remarks and giving him one last chance to play before departing for AFCON duty. After being benched three straight league games and omitted from the Inter trip, Salah held discussions involving Slot and club representatives. Slot confirmed talks would shape selection, wants him to stay, and now looks ready to reintegrate the forward amid poor recent results and fan unrest.

In a tense pre-Brighton press conference, Arne Slot repeatedly refused to elaborate on Mohamed Salah’s future, confirming only that he will sit down with the unsettled forward on December 12 after the Egyptian accused Liverpool of “throwing him under the bus”. Slot laughed off repeated attempts to pin him down on what Salah must do to be reintegrated, insisting his focus is Brighton and leaving selection hints vague, as the club’s decision to omit Salah from the Inter trip continues to fuel division and exit talk.

Daniel Munoz
December 2025

Crystal Palace wing-back Daniel Munoz has attracted serious interest from Barcelona and Liverpool after emerging as one of the Premier League’s most aggressive right-sided threats, prompting public advice from Colombian great Camilo Zuniga on his next move. Zuniga argues Munoz’s high-intensity running and vertical style are better suited to England than Spain’s slower, possession-heavy game, urging him to stay in the Premier League, where Liverpool need a Trent Alexander-Arnold successor and Palace already eye Sacha Boey as a possible replacement.

Villa and Liverpool weigh Harvey Elliott recall as stalled loan triggers January dilemma

Harvey Elliott
December 2025

Harvey Elliott’s season-long loan at Aston Villa has stalled badly, with the midfielder limited to a single Premier League start and excluded from the last seven league matchday squads, putting pressure on Liverpool to consider recalling him before a purchase clause activates. A £35m mandatory buy clause kicks in at 10 appearances, but Emery’s selections and Villa’s strong form have squeezed Elliott out, prompting frank talks between coach, player and both clubs as they search for a solution that guarantees him regular minutes, at Villa Park or elsewhere.
