Oliver Glasner issues clear Liverpool transfer verdict before Wembley clash - 'Clearly'
Liverpool is set to start the 2025/26 season with the Community Shield against Crystal Palace, the 2025 FA Cup champions who upset Manchester City 1-0 in the final. Outside of finalizing a move for one last attacker — seemingly Alexander Isak from Newcastle — and some center-back cover, the Reds have likely finished their summer business. Ahead of Sunday's clash — a game where Virgil van Dijk and Alisson Becker will likely return — Palace manager Oliver Glasner said "you can clearly see a club's ambitions in the transfer market. And it seems that Liverpool FC isn't satisfied with just winning the English league; I think they want to win the Champions League." READ MORE: Liverpool handed double boost before Community Shield as Virgil van Dijk spotted READ MORE: Darwin Nunez showed his true colors with trophy remark as Liverpool transfer exit looms Meanwhile, his Eagles have spent more time trying to win an appeal wth UEFA to reclaim their spot in the 2025/26 Europa League taken from them due to joint ownership issues with Olympique Lyon. At the time of writing, Palace is set to the play in the Conference League. Who has Liverpool signed? The Reds took two players from Bayer Leverkusen in midfielder Florian Wirtz (€125.00m, $156 million) and wing-back Jeremie Frimpong (€40 million, $46.5 million). Liverpool secured striker Hugo Ekitike from Eintracht Frankfurt for €95 million ($110 million) and left-back Milos Kerkez from Bournemouth for €46.9 million ($55 million). Even reserve goalkeeper Armin Pesci was drafted from Paskas AFC for €1.8 million ($2 million). 'They've been playing at this level for years, so I have to say I was a bit surprised that they were so active, but of course it also shows their ambitions," Glasner added. "They obviously saw that we needed to add one or two things to the squad, and they made that very clear and explicit early on this summer.' His Palace side has been far more tepid in the market, having only inked fullback Borna Sosa from Ajax (for a bargin fee) and goalkeeper Walter Benetiz from PSV (free transfer). Glasner joined the Eagles in the second half of the 2024 season and boasts an impressive 45.54% win percentage with the club across 61 matches. In addition to leading Palace to their first trophy, the club's 53 points last season were their most ever in a Premier League season.

He was named both director of sport and manager at LASK while they played in the Austrian second tier and had them second in the first division within a few seasons. He led German powerhouse Wolfsburg to the Champions League in 2021 for the first time in a decade and then won the Europa League with Eintracht Frankfurt a season later. Glasner also weighed in on the 2025/26 title race. 'Four or five clubs have invested heavily again. If I take City, over €300 million in 2025, Liverpool similarly, I think Arsenal not far behind, Chelsea exactly the same, so you can see that they want to win the Premier League, they want to win the Champions League," he said.

Galaxy Tab S11 leak spills all the details, and it could be good news for US users
Earlier this year, we found evidence that Samsung was working on at least three Android tablets. These tablets would include two successors to the Galaxy Tab S10 and an S10 Lite model. Last month, a Samsung executive confirmed to Android Authority that the Galaxy Tab S11 series is on the way and that the release would follow 'our traditional cadence.' A new leak may have now revealed the specifications, launch window, and European prices. According to a report from Dealabs , the Galaxy Tab S11, S11 Ultra, and S10 Lite will have Wi-Fi and 5G models. The Galaxy Tab S11 series will reportedly be available in Gray and Silver. Meanwhile, the Galaxy Tab S10 Lite is said to have three color options: Gray, Silver, and Red. In addition to these details, the leak revealed the following specs for all three tablets: As mentioned earlier, we were told that the launch of the Galaxy Tab S11 would follow Samsung's traditional cadence. Last year, the company launched the Galaxy Tab S10 in September, meaning we should expect a release that month. When exactly in September is unknown, but Dealabs suggests that the launch should happen between September 4 and September 5. It's still unclear what the prices will be in the US, but this leak does give us the prices in Europe. Samsung Galaxy Tab S11 12 GB / 128 GB: Wi-Fi: €899 ($1,047) / Wi-Fi + 5G: €1,049 ($1,221) 12 GB / 256 GB: Wi-Fi: €959 ($1,116) / Wi-Fi + 5G: €1,109 ($1,291) 12 GB / 512 GB: Wi-Fi: €1,079 ($1,256) Samsung Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra 12 GB / 256 GB: Wi-Fi: €1,339 ($1,559) / Wi-Fi + 5G: €1,489 ($1,733) 12 GB / 512 GB: Wi-Fi: €1,459 ($1,698) / Wi-Fi + 5G: €1,609 ($1,872) 16 GB / 1 TB: Wi-Fi: €1,759 ($2,047) Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Lite 6 GB / 128 GB: Wi-Fi: €399 ($464) / Wi-Fi + 5G: €459 ($523) 8 GB / 256 GB: Wi-Fi: €469 ($546) / Wi-Fi + 5G: €529 ($616) The prices for the Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra appear to mirror the launch prices for last year's Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra. That bodes well for the US, as it could mean that Samsung has no plans to hike up prices. But we'll still have to wait for the official announcement to know for sure.
