BEAUTIFUL GAME!
Liverpool linked with TWO Real Madrid stars
Liverpool are being linked with moves for two Real Madrid players, and superstar winger Vinicius Junior is one of them, with reports from Spain claiming he is unhappy at the Bernabeu.
The Reds are no strangers to doing business with the LaLiga giants, with the most recent example being Trent Alexander-Arnold’s switch to Madrid last summer.
liverpool are not planning to make any mega-money additions this month after spending close to £450million last window, but they are still doing their due diligence on exciting targets.
Madrid duo Vinicius Junior and midfielder Eduardo Camavinga are both on their radar , per reports, and speculation is rife that they could both be on the move.
Meanwhile, the Reds have been urged to sign a vital Tottenham star as an alternative to March Guehi, who is set to join Manchester City.
Liverpool links with Vinicius Jr ramp up
Vinicius Jr is undoubtedly one of the world’s best players on his day, but he has struggled to find consistent form this season.
The Reds, meanwhile, are still prioritising a new winger signing in 2026, with Mo Salah’s future beyond this term still uncertain.
Our transfer insider, Graeme Bailey, reported on December 22 that Liverpool are among the clubs keen on a deal for Vinicius Jr.
The Brazilian is under contract at Madrid until 2027, but talks over an extension have been put on hold because of his unhappiness under Xabi Alonso, who was sacked last week and replaced by Alvaro Arbeloa.
Things have not improved for Vinicius Jr, either. Spanish outlets have reported how, during the El Clasico a week ago, he was booed by sections of Madrid’s supporters.
Real Madrid Player Ratings vs. Levante: Bernabeu Jeers Inspire Flawless Finish
The Spanish giants extended their La Liga winning streak to four matches.
Real Madrid secured the first win of the Álvaro Arbeloa era on Saturday afternoon, defeating Levante 2–0 in the manager’s first La Liga match
on the touchline.
The game was anything but perfect for Los Blancos, who put together a shockingly poor first half. With deafening whistles practically shaking the Bernabéu, the team had little choice but to come out of the tunnel with a renewed purpose, led by a spectacular
substitute performance from Arda Güler.
The midfielder kickstarted the play that won his side a penalty, one that Kylian Mbappé buried in the 58th minute. Güler’s elite service from the corner flag then was finished off by Raúl Asencio less than 10 minutes later.
The 2–0 win left plenty to be desired from Real Madrid, but the most important thing for the Spanish giants is that they returned to winning ways and collected a much-needed three points to keep the pressure on Barcelona atop the La Liga standings.
Allegri: ‘Milan focus on top four, Fullkrug impact off the bench’
Max Allegri welcomes Niclas Fullkrug’s impact on Milan, scoring the winner off the bench against Lecce, and continues to focus on a top four finish rather than the Scudetto.
The Rossoneri had dropped so many points against the smaller clubs this season, including recent back-to-back draws with Genoa and Fiorentina.
It looked for a while as if they’d run into another brick wall at San Siro with a series of incredible Wladimiro Falcone saves, but battering ram
Niclas Fullkrug came off the bench and three minutes later scored the winner with a glancing header on Alexis Saelemaekers’ cross.
This was the sixth goal from a substitute in Serie A this season, more than any other team.
