LIVERPOOL TRANSFER TARGET:

Gilberto Mora schooling Spain’s midfield at 16 years old… 🇲🇽

It is NOT normal to play with this level of composure, vision, and total authority at his age.

Long live Gilberto Mora’s football. Mexico has a superstar on their hands.

@DailyFootyTakes The composure on the ball is ridiculous.

[@DailyFootyTakes @DailyFootyTakes]

This is what Liverpool will be getting for £40m, HE'S CALLED THE MEXICAN YOUNG MESSI

SEE WHY LIVERPOOL ARE SERIOUSLY INTERESTED TO SIGN GILBERTO MORA

@DailyFootyTakes Bro is 17 breaking records while I'm still trying to fix my sleep schedule

[@DailyFootyTakes @DailyFootyTakes]

A 17 years old just put a Serie A starter on a poster. 🇲🇽

Gilberto Mora (17y 347d) sent Juventus center-back Jhon Lucumí to the turf with ONE touch before slotting it past Álvaro Montero to become Mexico’s youngest-ever goalscorer.

Mora is doing this to $30M defenders before he can legally drink in the US. Tijuana has a real one.

@DailyFootyTakes Mexico’s future is officially here.

🚨 BREAKING: Liverpool are preparing a £40 MILLION move to sign Mexican wonderkid Gilberto Mora! 🇲🇽

The 17 year old record breaker has been tearing up Liga MX with Tijuana, and the Reds are now pushing to secure his signature.

Massive signing for the future, or too high of a fee for a teenager? 👀

@DailyFootyTakes We just found our next decade's starting playmaker.

[@DailyFootyTakes @DailyFootyTakes]

Arne Slot jokingly warned everyone about Man City's 115 charges back in 2024, and now that the guilty verdict is in, people are digging it back up

"Maybe Mo knows more... so expects them not to be in the Premier League next season!"

Was Slot actually joking or did he know what was coming all along?

[Ref Watch @FCBwrld1]

@DailyFootyTakes Mo Salah and Arne Slot knew the script before the Premier League even finished reading it

[@DailyFootyTakes @DailyFootyTakes]

Jürgen Klopp speaks out after Manchester City are found GUILTY on 115 charges!

"I can only wait and see. I have big respect for Pep Guardiola and City... We fought hard on the pitch. I'm absolutely fine with what we achieved at Liverpool."

Class response, or should he be pushing for those titles?

[Ref Watch @FCBwrld1]

@DailyFootyTakes Klopp laughing off the question because he knows his 2019/20 Premier League title was won 100% fair and square

🚨 BREAKING: Real Madrid are reportedly planning their BIGGEST Liverpool raid yet targeting Virgil van Dijk as his contract approaches its end!

After landing Trent Alexander-Arnold in 2025 and Ibrahima Konaté in 2026, Los Blancos are now plotting to unite Van Dijk with Konaté in Madrid.

Is there ANY chance FSG lets Van Dijk leave for free? 👇

@DailyFootyTakes Perez really wakes up every morning, opens Liverpool’s squad list, and picks who he wants next

[@DailyFootyTakes @DailyFootyTakes]

🚨 BREAKING: Liverpool are stepping up interest in Everton defender Jarrad Branthwaite as a long term successor for Virgil van Dijk!

Scouts have reportedly been watching the £80M rated center back closely as the Reds do their "due diligence."

Crossing the Stanley Park divide... Would you sign Branthwaite for Anfield?

[Ref Watch @FCBwrld1]

@DailyFootyTakes I don't think this deal will go through

[@DailyFootyTakes @DailyFootyTakes]

🚨 BREAKING: Liverpool are plotting a SENSATIONAL move for Bayern Munich star Michael Olise to replace Mo Salah and it could trigger a huge player swap/domino effect!

Reports suggest Florian Wirtz could head to Bayern in return to unlock the deal.

Is Olise the ultimate Salah successor for Liverpool?

[Ref Watch @FCBwrld1]

@DailyFootyTakes Wirtz is quality, give him time to cook at Anfield!

[@DailyFootyTakes @DailyFootyTakes]

Now that the Premier League is done handling Manchester City’s 115 charges, it’s time to open up the archives on Manchester United

The FA needs to launch a full investigation into the Sir Alex Ferguson era immediately. We need retro VAR, log books, and stoppage time audits for every single match at Old Trafford from 1992 to 2013 ⏱️

“Fergie Time” wasn’t tactical brilliance, it was highway robbery in broad daylight! Strip those titles!

[Ref Watch @FCBwrld1]

@DailyFootyTakes Bro wants retro VAR for the 90s, I’m crying
