Liverpool transfer news today: SELL Trent urges Reds great, Benfica star WATCHED, Jota sale DISCUSSED
Here’s all the latest Liverpool transfer news to catch up on today Sunday October 13 as Jota reveals Portugal plans and Liverpool target ex-Man Utd star.
Ben Doak stat forces Liverpool rethink
The Reds have sent numerous youngsters out on loan for the current campaign to allow them to gain vital playing time.
One player who has got off to a flying start this season is Ben Doak. The Scottish teenager is currently on loan at Middlesborough after an injury-plagued 2023/24 saw him get very little game time.
Michael Carrick has put faith in the 18-year-old who has made five appearances scoring one goal and starting each of the last three games.
Doak has created 3.36 chances per 90 for his Boro teammates in the Championship this season – the highest figure of any player with more than five appearances.
Simon Jordan claims target is ‘too flash’ for Liverpool

With the potential departures of Mo Salah, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Virgil van Dijk, transfer rumours have been rife around Liverpool so far this season.
There is a clear preference to keep, re-sign and develop talent rather than just throw money around and see what works at the club.
And speaking recently on his Up Front podcast, former Crystal Palace owner Simon Jordan has voiced this sentiment.
In discussing Tottenham midfielder James Maddison, Jordan said, “Maddison, I think he’s a great player, but he’s a bit flash for cash, I think he’s a great Tottenham player, but I don’t see Liverpool buying Maddison.”

Liverpool legend urges club to sell Trent Alexander-Arnold
Trent-Alexander-Arnold’s contract situation is at the forefront of everyone’s minds.
At 26, the Scouse talent is one of a kind and if negotiations aren’t successful by January 1 then clubs will be formally allowed to approach him about his future.
The majority of fans and pundits feel it would be reckless if Liverpool failed to tie Trent down on a long-term contract.
However former Liverpool player Steve Nicol has claimed that the club should be open to the possibility of letting the right-back leave in January if the right offer came in.
Speaking to ESPN, he said: “If you think Trent is going to go and Real Madrid become desperate and give Liverpool a daft offer then they should probably take it.”

Liverpool set to rub Man Utd’s face in transfer failure
Arne Slot Liverpool Erik ten Hag Manchester United
It’s been years since Manchester United were truly competitors for Liverpool.
Whilst Liverpool galloped to three Champions League finals, a Premier League and multiple title races, Manchester United toiled with endless squad churn and demands that it should be better ‘because it’s Manchester United’.
One of the names on the long list of United failures is Alvaro Carreras, the left-back who was only ever loaned out, failing to make an appearance in a Man Utd shirt, before he made a permanent move to Benfica.
But now, Spanish outlet Diario AS is reporting that Liverpool are eyeing up Carreras as a potential Andy Robertson replacement.

Jota speaks out over Portuguese league return
Liverpool have always been on the hunt to find their clinical edge in attack and when Diogo Jota is on the pitch it seems they have found their answer.
Starting the season in good fitness, the Portuguese striker has notched four goals and two assists so far this season, across 623 minutes of football, spread over nine games in all competitions.
Speaking ahead of Portugal’s UEFA Nations League game against Poland, as reported by Maisfutebol, Jota revealed he is comfortable at the club and has no ambitions of leaving anytime soon. However, he does intend to return to his homeland one day.
He said: “Returning to Portugal to win the league? It doesn’t make much sense at this stage, but I wouldn’t rule it out in the future.”

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.
