I would be taking him to the World Cup, and I don’t want to upset West Ham fans, but if they went down, then he would be my idea of somebody to replace Salah.”Today13:44 BSTLiverpool players' stance on SlotLiverpool's players remain behind Arne Slot, despite the club experiencing a terrible season which could yet see it miss out on Champions League qualification.Although many fans would like to see Slot replaced ahead of next season, The Athletic 's James Pearce reports that that is not an opinion that is shared by Liverpool's players.Pearce was asked in a question and answer session whether he thought Liverpool's players were still behind Slot, and he responded in firm fashion.Pearce called for "social media nonsense" to be forgotten and said that he had not heard anything to suggest that the players are not behind their manager.Read the full story here(Image: Getty Images)Today12:23 BSTLiverpool scraps plan for three successive years of ticket price risesLiverpool has confirmed a change in approach regarding ticket prices at Anfield following fan protests that urged owners Fenway Sports Group (FSG) to reconsider increases.The plan for three years of increases has been scrapped. Next season's prices will increase in line with inflation, followed by a price freeze for the 2027/28 campaign."In March, the club confirmed a ticket pricing plan in which general admission ticket price increases would be limited to inflation for three seasons, while including the continued freeze on junior and local tickets at £9 and the expansion of the young adult category to include supporters up to the age of 24," a statement posted on the official club website reads.Read the full story hereToday10:43 BSTMcConnell closing in on returnLiverpool youngster James McConnell could be included in a gameday squad before the end of the season, 15 months on from his last appearance for the first team.McConnell has not played for Liverpool since the Reds' shock FA Cup loss to Plymouth in February 2025.The 21-year-old midfielder signed a five-year contract at Anfield last summer before joining Ajax on a season-long loan, but that loan was cut short in February after just seven appearances for the Eredivisie club.Only two of those appearances came as a starter, with injury ultimately putting paid to his chances of enjoying a successful loan spell in Amsterdam.McConnell underwent surgery upon returning to Merseyside, but is now back fit and was called up to first-team training this week.McConnell recently made his return to match action, too, having figured for Liverpool's Under-21s in a Premier League 2 play-off against Crystal Palace last month.A host of first-team players were absent from first-team training on Wednesday, which made room for McConnell to make the step up.Mohamed Salah, Alexander Isak and Alisson were all absent from training, while Ibrahima Konate and Florian Wirtz worked away from the main group.

Longer-term absentees Hugo Ekitike, Conor Bradley, Wataru Endo and Giovanni Leoni were also not present.McConnell has trained with the first team on several occasions in recent weeks, but it seems at the moment that enough other players need to not train in order for there to be space for McConnell to step up to the main group.(Image: 2026 Liverpool FC)Today09:33 BSTAlisson agrees Juve personal termsAlisson has reportedly agreed personal terms with Juventus ahead of possibly joining the Turin club from Liverpool this summer.Speculation linking the Brazilian with a move to Serie A has intensified in recent weeks, and Italian journalist Nicolo Schira says that he has now agreed a contract worth €5 million ($5.9 million) per year.Although personal terms have apparently been agreed, Juve still faces the task of convincing Liverpool to let Alisson leave. The Brazilian is not agitating for a move away from Merseyside and will ultimately allow Liverpool to have the final say on whether he can leave.(Image: MI News/NurPhoto)Today08:12 BSTBowen latestGiven his age, Liverpool is unlikely to be in the market for Jarrod Bowen this summer – but even if the Reds were to move for the West Ham star, it sounds as though he is open to staying in East London anyway.Bowen has been touted as a possible replacement for Liverpool legend Mohamed Salah for several years now, having gone from strength to strength since joining the Hammers.talkSPORT reports that Bowen would be happy to stay at West Ham if the club managed to avoid relegation, but that he is likely to be a player in demand in the event of the Irons dropping into the Championship.Bowen turns 30 this year and is contracted to West Ham until 2030, though, essentially making him a non-starter as far as being a Liverpool target is concerned.The Reds will undoubtedly be in the market for a replacement for Salah, but they will almost certainly target a player who is much younger than Bowen.Today07:41 BSTWelcomeHello and welcome to today's Liverpool live blog.
