Liverpool announces new leadership group and transfer targets

Liverpool FC Premier League Andoni Iraola club leadership transfer news

Following the departures of Mohamed Salah, Andy Robertson, and Ibrahima Konate, Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola has announced the club's leadership structure for the 2026-27 Premier League season. Virgil van Dijk remains the club captain, while Alisson Becker, Joe Gomez, and Dominik Szoboszlai have been named vice-captains.

Iraola noted that while Alisson is a vice-captain, he may not wear the armband frequently due to the practical limitations goalkeepers face when communicating with referees during matches.

In transfer news, Liverpool is reportedly interested in Palmeiras winger Allan Elias as a potential successor to Mohamed Salah. However, Manchester City has entered the race for the 22-year-old Brazilian, potentially complicating Liverpool's efforts to bolster their attacking options following the loss of Salah.
