Liverpool FC news: Details of mega-deal REVEALED as deadline is days away

Here's all your Liverpool FC news for Saturday December 28.

Move over Mo - Liverpool's newest undroppable player

What has been so refreshing as a Liverpool fan this season is the players we know who have undeniable talent stepping up.

Last season, the likes of Ryan Gravenberch and Dominik Szoboszlai were showing hints of their greatness but not in a consistent format.

But Arne Slot has unlocked something. A confidence which exudes from almost every team member. Liverpool play with no fear. There is a clear message of urgency and fight which Slot has enrolled and the players have picked up this call and ran with it.

One player, however, has exceeded everyone's expectations recently through his vital contributions at big moments.

Liverpool match Real Madrid in deal to make millions

For the last five years, Liverpool have brandished the iconic Nike tick on their sportswear.

However, rumours have been circulating over the last few months that the club is set to reunite with Adidas for the 2025/26 season onwards.

Across two separate spells, spanning 17 seasons, Adidas has produced a number of iconic shirts that extremely successful teams have worn and the sports brand's return to Merseyside could make a huge financial difference to the club.

Previous reports suggested that Liverpool would receive more than they do from the current Nike deal - £30m per year and a 20% royalty on all net merchandise sales apart from footwear - however, new details have now been reported.

Liverpool contract crisis explained with nightmare deadline just days away

Here's what you need to know about the situation around Mo Salah, Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold. Liverpool are walking into a nightmare.

Liverpool had three major contracts to sort last summer. All three of Mo Salah, Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold were entering the final years of their contracts.

None of them have signed new deals yet and that's a problem, especially given that those three are arguably the most important players in the team. All three, though, can depart on a free transfer after this season if they wish.

But the 'deadline' is even sooner than that. It's just days away, in fact, with the trio able to talk to non-English clubs from January 1st - or 'Wednesday', if you'd prefer.

Liverpool's rejected Nike kit you were never supposed to see

Liverpool’s kits have been a bit of a story this season, not least because of the announced new deal with Adidas set to start from next season.

As a result, Nike have appeared to try and make the most out of their final season with the Reds, creating some stunning pieces of merchandise such as the Anthem jackets that the players are seen donning pre-game.

The reunion with the German fashion brand turned a few heads back to Liverpool kits of old, anticipating kits as good as those of yesteryear. Rumours that an alternative kit of the classic ‘sea green’ could see a reappearance was an eye-catcher.

But a different old kit has emerged that is sure to capture headlines.

FSG's unreal $10bn win earned on Liverpool's back

Liverpool are the ones propping up John Henry and co. FSG are certainly doing alright.

FSG, then New England Sports Investments, bought Liverpool back in 2010. They'd already had sporting success, buying the Boston Red Sox and ending their historic 'curse' to win baseball's World Series.

So how have they done at Liverpool? It's up for debate. On the face of it, things have been brilliant. A UEFA Champions League title, a Premier League title, regular cup finals, an incredible team, and some unbelievable signings. But there's also a sense that it could have been more.

All we can say for sure is that FSG have run Liverpool 'efficiently' - even if that's sometimes at the fans' expense. After all, 'winning' isn't actually at the top of their list. FSG are an investment firm and turning Liverpool into a valuable, profitable asset is of far more interest to John Henry and co.

It's a mentality that doesn't necessarily bring incredible success (as, we should add, the Red Sox can also attest to) but it does bring them money. A lot of money.
