Yan Bingtao, the winner of the 2021 Masters, was also prohibited until…

The rumour about Mohamed Salah joining the likes of Jordan Henderson, Sadio Mané, Roberto Firmino, and Fabinho in Saudi Arabia next summer have intensified. It’s no secret that the Saudi pro-league has been promising aging talent big payouts to join their sports washing ranks. The top European leagues were raided last summer, and it looks like that trend will continue on — especially after the announcement of Saudi Arabia hosting the 2034 Men’s World Cup. Salah being on their radar should come as no surprise. The 31-year-old is a huge draw worldwide, still in peak physical condition, and is hitting…
If there is one area where Liverpool probably still wants to strengthen, it’s in Jürgen Klopp’s defensive department. The emergence of Jarell Quansah has been a breath of fresh air this season, but looking ahead to the future, Klopp will probably want to add at least one more center-back to his roster. After all, Virgil van Dijk and Joël Matip are not getting any younger, and with the latter’s contract expiring in 2024, it would make sense to let him go at the end of the season. Matip’s form did dip towards the end of last season, and at 33 years old next year,…
