Let me get this out of the way first: I’m not a Liverpool supporter. In fact, most of the time, I’m actively hoping they slip up. But something changed during that international match against Andorra—something, or rather someone, made me sit up, blink twice, and ask myself how this player isn’t already wearing Liverpool red.
Because if Liverpool are genuinely committed to ending Manchester City’s stranglehold on English football, reclaiming the Premier League, and mounting a real challenge in Europe, there’s only one move to make: sign this player. Immediately. No dithering. No second thoughts.
The Andorra Masterclass That Shocked Everyone
Some performances are good. Some are impressive. But this? This was a footballing proclamation. A midfield clinic that had people muttering under their breath, “Is this real?”
The ball clung to him every time he received it. Tight space? No problem. Opposition pressure? He looked bored by it. His passing was scalpel-sharp. His awareness was so far beyond anyone else’s that it felt unfair. He controlled the ball, the pace, the rhythm—everything—with effortless brilliance.
And it wasn’t just tempo-setting. He dictated the entire match. He moved like a younger, sharper, hungrier Modrić—except multiplied. At times it genuinely felt like there were several of him on the pitch, such was his influence, his mobility, and his total command of every attacking sequence.
It was absurd. In the best possible way.
Why Liverpool Must Move Quickly
Let’s be blunt: if Liverpool don’t go for him now, someone else will—and they’ll pay for their hesitation. Real Madrid, Bayern, Arsenal—these clubs won’t need an invitation.
For Liverpool, though, he isn’t a luxury purchase. He fills the one gap the squad still has.
Yes, the arrivals of Mac Allister and Szoboszlai have revitalized the midfield. But they still lack that type of player—the one who can slow the game, accelerate it, spray impossible passes with casual confidence, and bring the composure needed to quiet the Etihad on a freezing February night.
He is exactly that.
Slot’s Liverpool has legs, intensity, wide threats, and goals from midfield. What they’re missing is the conductor. The mind. The player who blends artistry with ruthlessness.
The Price of Missing Out: Kiss the Treble Goodbye
If Liverpool are serious about battling for the league, the Champions League, and domestic competitions in the same season, they can’t afford to sit back and wait. His value is rising by the day, and after what he did against Andorra, the whole football world is paying attention.
Hesitate, and it won’t just cost them a title. It could cost them an entire era of potential. Let City or PSG swoop in, and this could become a decade-long “what if?”
But sign him now—and even as someone who isn’t a Liverpool fan—I can say with certainty: the rest of Europe suddenly has a problem on its hands.
Bottom Line: He’s the One
This isn’t hype or emotion talking. This is simple logic. When a player emerges with the intelligence of Xavi, the poise of Modrić, and the flair of Zidane, you don’t wait around.
If Liverpool secure him this summer, the balance of power in the Premier League shifts instantly. And if you’re supporting a rival club? You might want to start worrying.
