There are reportedly increasing fears that the Premier League could lose some of its star players due to non-footballing reasons.

Fans in the UK could face costs that could exceed £1‚350-a-year to watch football on television‚ after Paramount+ landing rights to Champions League matches saw another network enter the fray.

The news is a bitter blow for TNT Sports - formerly BT Sport - who have been the main UK broadcaster of the Champions League since the 2015-16 season.

Florian Wirtz's underwhelming start to life at Liverpool is being blamed on one of his team-mates in bizarre claims from the German media. Wirtz's big £116m summer move to the Premier League champions - then British transfer record before Alexander Isak joined from Newcastle - has been scrutinised with the playmaker struggling to adapt to life in England. And Sport Bild are attributing that down to Mohamed Salah own displays for the Reds this season.
Isak has been struggling for fitness since making a summer switch from Newcastle to Liverpool for a British record fee of £125million. After a limited pre-season‚ most of which was spent forcing the move to Anfield‚ the Swede has picked up a number of niggling injuries and has struggled to kickstart his career in Merseyside. He did‚ however‚ return to the bench for Liverpool's 3-0 defeat against Manchester City last weekend after around three weeks out - but Arne Slot did not call upon him to save a miserable evening at the Etihad.

Millions of messages were passed onto UK police after EncroChat was accessed by international law enforcement in 2020‚ and McNally was known as 'LuckyPanda.'
Robbie Fowler believes Liverpool's recruitment strategy during the summer transfer window is the main reason behind their catastrophic form of late. The reigning Premier League champions were swept aside by dominant Manchester City on Sunday‚ losing 3-0 after being put to the sword by goals from Erling Haaland‚ Nico Gonzalez and Jeremy Doku. Liverpool splashed out £446million in the summer on new signings‚ twice breaking the British transfer record to lure Bayer Leverkusen midfielder Florian Wirtz for £116m and later Newcastle striker Alexander Isak for £125m.
Konate's deal is up at the end of the season and there are no public signs of renewal talks progressing after they opened last November‚ with Real Madrid eager to sign him.

Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has weighed in on the country's political situation and given his views on several key topics of contention. Since retiring in 2013‚ Carragher‚ 47‚ has become a major pundit and voice around English and European football.

Arsene Wenger has shared fresh details behind Florian Wirtz's £116million move to Liverpool over the summer‚ claiming that one demand made by the German has led to the Reds 'destroying their midfield'. The Premier League champions won the race to sign Bayer Leverkusen's star midfielder during the summer window‚ setting a new British record transfer fee before breaking it again with the £125m signing of Alexander Isak on deadline day. Wirtz‚ who was also heavily pursued by Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich over the summer‚ has struggled to hit the ground running at Anfield so far‚ failing to register a single goal or assist from 10 matches in all competitions.

Football fans ran on to the pitch to protest against Gary Neville during Salford City's League Two clash with Oldham after his recent rant about the 'negative' use of the British flag.
