Liverpool transfer news today: Fabrizio Romano Trent update, Salah LEAVING and landmark FIFA rule

Here’s all your latest Liverpool transfer news with updates on Trent Alexander-Arnold, Ederson, Branthwaite and more.

Fabrizio Romano update on Trent

With a mere eight months left on his current deal with Liverpool, Trent Alexander-Arnold has persistently been linked with Real Madrid – and Fabrizio Romano has the latest information.

It’s no secret that Alexander-Arnold is a key target for Real Madrid given their propensity for signing superstars on dwindling contracts, with Kylian Mbappe being the latest example in a long list.

Indeed, 25 years ago the same was true of Steve McManaman, and there are worrying parallels with the ongoing situation.

In his latest update on his YouTube channel, Fabrizio Romano said: “What I’m told is that today, Real Madrid are not negotiating with Alexander-Arnold – they are not discussing terms of a contract, salary, or project.”

Landmark FIFA decision revolutionises player transfers

Lassana Diarra

Following a long-running legal dispute with FIFA, former Chelsea and Arsenal player Lassana Diarra has won a landmark decision after his case was victorious in the European Court of Justice (ECJ).

The ECJ found that Diarra was right to challenge his wrongful contract termination at Lokomotiv Moscow in 2014 – a decision that could drastically revolutionise how transfers are conducted across Europe.

After leaving the Russian club, Diarra then agreed to join Belgian club Charleroi, although FIFA refused to issue the club with an International Transfer Certificate (ITC), which is an essential part of registering a newly signed player, so the move collapsed.

This tactic from FIFA, was today agreed to have been illegal – breaching the EU’s freedom of movement and competition law – a substantial victory for Diarra’s legal team, but a decision which will now result in significantly relaxed conditions surrounding player power in the transfer market.

Salah told former teammate Rudiger “I’m leaving”

Mo Salah’s contract has been one of the main talking points around the entirety of Liverpool this season.

The talismanic attacker – along with Trent Alexander-Arnold and Virgil van Dijk – has his contract expiring at the end of the season. And whilst fans would never want to see a club legend go, the current rumours are that Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF) is readying a monumental deal to secure his services.

Speaking on The Inside Scoop, current Real Madrid centre-back Antonio Rudiger weighed in on his experiences with Salah during their days together at AS Roma.

He revealed that Salah let him know that he would be off to Anfield, where he has taken his game to another level.

New Brazilian midfield target eager for move

Despite only being at the club for a number of months, Arne Slot has already made an impact and currently has Liverpool top of the Premier League.

Liverpool’s opportunity to get one over Man United and Everton

Liverpool are thriving under new head coach Arne Slot and the Reds now have the chance to get one over on two of their biggest rivals.

Despite opening the season with a remarkable amount of defensive stability, the Reds may be looking at ensuring their defensive strength continues long into the future with the addition of a new centre-back.

Recent reports suggest that Liverpool have reignited their interest in long-term target Jarrad Branthwaite and that they could make a move for the Everton star in January.

Branthwaite is widely regarded as one of Everton’s best players, and while it would wind the Toffees up to no end to see their star man playing for Liverpool, the 22-year-old has also been the subject of heavy interest from Manchester United.

Thomas Clark

I’m Thomas Clark, from the ever-sunny Scottsdale, Arizona. At 47, my life’s not your usual nine-to-five grind; I’m the voice behind the screen at FC Soccer News. My days are a mix of passion and professionalism as I weave words for the love of the game. University of Arizona’s where I honed my skills, but the real education came from the hours spent in local cafes, my eyes glued to my laptop, and my mind playing the field.

Soccer’s not just my beat—it’s the rhythm to my life. I analyze plays with a tactical mind and share insights that cut through the noise. Outside work, my appetite for adventure is as strong as a striker’s kick. The chef in me loves experimenting in the kitchen, and when the hiking trails call my name, I answer with boots laced tight. I’ve got music in my bones, and you’ll often find me lost in the melodies of a well-strummed guitar.

Away from the adrenaline of sports and the hum of daily life, my world orbits around my family. Dinner tables are our huddles, where laughter and stories bounce around like a well-played ball. Weekends are sacred—reserved for family bike rides and movie marathons, where I pass down my love for classics to my two bright kids. Parenthood’s more rewarding than any byline, and it’s taught me the true value of teamwork. My wife is my rock, my steady defender, offering unwavering support through every deadline and draft. Together, we’ve built a life that’s as dynamic as the games I cover—a blend of commitment, joy, and the unending chase of a story worth telling.
