Summer could bring renewal to Liverpool’s midfield.

Arne Slot has been reliant on the same cast of midfield options for the last two seasons - and it’s clear change is coming. Curtis Jones and Wataru Endo are both out of contract in 2027 and Richard Hughes may well listen to offers.

Then there are contract deals to be sorted out for the other senior midfielders - Ryan Gravenberch, Dominik Szoboszlai and Alexis Mac Allister.

The clock is ticking - all three are out of contract in 2028 - and the off-season could see one or more moved on if no new contract is agreed.

We could see the Premier League champions move for a midfielder - and a long-standing target could be revisited.

Liverpool like Andre of Wolves

The Anfield side were heavily linked with a move for Andre before the then-Fluminense midfielder transferred to Wolves in 2024. But in January links re-emerged - suggesting that the soon-to-be-relegated side were prepared to listen to offers.

And Andre’s match-winning performance against Arne Slot’s side on Tuesday night may have been enough to win over any recruiters inside the club who might not have been sold on the idea of signing him.

The 24-year-old inflicted huge damage on Liverpool’s Champions League hopes - striking in the last minute to secure a 2-1 win for the Premier League basement boys. But the 13-cap Brazil international did much more besides in a man-of-the-match display.

Andre passes Liverpool audition

Andre was the best midfielder on show - even up against Liverpool’s star-studded trio of Gravenberch, Mac Allister and Szoboszlai.

Across 90+ minutes he completed 43 of 45 passes attempted - including 14 of 14 in the opposition half. He had a total of 67 touches - carrying the ball 13 times and making four progressive carries.

In the engine room he made nine defensive contributions - including winning three of five attempted tackles, making two interceptions.

The Wolves No7 also made one clearance and blocked one shot in a performance that featured 11 recoveries.

The midfielder went into 10 ground duels - winning seven - and gave away only one foul while drawing two. Into the bargain, Andre was not even dribbled past once.

Report – Inter Milan Plan To Intensify Talks With Tottenham Hotspur Goalkepeer In Coming Weeks

Serie A giants Inter Milan are reportedly looking to intensify talks with Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario in the coming weeks.

According to FCInterNews, the Nerazzurri are keen to sign the 29-year-old as a long-term replacement for Yann Sommer.

Furthermore, Inter had hoped to land the former Empoli shot-stopper in 2023, only for Spurs to swoop in and steal him away.

Vicario has reportedly grown frustrated with Tottenham’s disastrous results in the Premier League.

Indeed, Igor Tudor’s men are languishing in the division’s lower reaches, sitting just a point clear of 18th-placed West Ham United.

Therefore, the Italian goalkeeper could fancy a return to Serie A in the summer, with Inter eager to lure him to Milan.

Jefté desvela el increíble gesto que tuvo Vinicius: "Se transforma, no es lo que se ve en las cámaras"

No hay partido ni campo de fútbol en el mundo del que Vinicius Jr. no salga abucheado. A veces, incluso, del suyo propio. Y es que son muchos los que creen que el brasileño es demasiado arrogante y que su actitud sobre el campo perjudica en gran medida a la imagen del Real Madrid.

Report – Inter Milan Receive Major Fitness Boost Ahead Of Milan Derby: French Striker Recovers From Calf Injury

Inter Milan striker Ange-Yoan Bonny has reportedly recovered from the upcoming Serie A clash against AC Milan.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport via FCInterNews, Cristian Chivu expects the Frenchman to resume training tomorrow.

Ange-Yoan Bonny suffered a minor fitness issue in a 2-0 home win over Genoa last weekend.

Therefore, Chivu was unable to call upon the 22-year-old for Tuesday’s dull 0-0 draw against Como in the Coppa Italia.

However, the former Parma starlet will be available for Sunday’s mouth-watering showdown at San Siro.

Bonny Recovers for AC Milan vs Inter Serie A Derby

With Lautaro Martinez still working on his recovery, Chivu finds himself strapped for options in attack.

Indeed, Marcus Thuram has been out of form in 2026, while Francesco Pio Esposito has only scored four times in 25 league games.

Meanwhile, despite often starting on the bench, Bonny has tallied five goals and four assists in 22 Serie A outings.
