Discussions Confirmed As Liverpool 'Make Approach' For £101m-Rated Star

Arne Slot is diligently preparing for the 2024/25 season as pre-season begins at Liverpool. Despite the ongoing Euro 2024 and Copa America, with players like Cody Gakpo and Trent Alexander-Arnold still engaged in their 2023/24 campaigns, the Premier League season is just a month away. Players such as Harvey Elliott, Fabio Carvalho, and Jarell Quansah are already back at Melwood.
Goalkeeper Adrian has been confirmed as leaving the club, along with Thiago Alcantara and Joel Matip, while Calvin Ramsay has gone on loan to Wigan.
With work remaining for the first team squad, the next few weeks promise to be intriguing.

Liverpool Reject Offer
Liverpool have turned down a £4 million offer from Trabzonspor for defender Nat Phillips. The Turkish club sought to sign the 27-year-old, who was on loan at Celtic last season. However, the Reds are holding out for £8 million from the Super Lig side. Although Phillips is in the final year of his contract, Liverpool is in no hurry to sell him.

Reds Make Enquiry
Liverpool have approached Benfica regarding young star Joao Neves. The 19-year-old has attracted attention from Manchester United and has a release clause of £101.4 million. Neves' contract runs until 2028, but due to the interest, Benfica may offer him a new deal.

Liverpool In Talks For Coach
Preparations are ongoing at Liverpool's training ground, but Arne Slot's coaching team is not yet complete. Former Everton defender Johnny Heitinga hinted at talks with Liverpool. Speaking to De Telegraaf, he said, "I’m in talks with Liverpool. All I can say now is that I have been approached and that my agent Rob Jansen and I are in discussions.”

Adrian's Farewell Message
Goalkeeper Adrian's departure from Liverpool has been confirmed. Although his contract expired at the end of the month and he was offered a new deal, he decided to leave the club. Adrian shared a heartfelt message with supporters, saying, "Thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything you have given me during this beautiful and successful journey together.
“Now it’s time for me to share all these experiences I have learned. I will be grateful to you for life. You have been and always will be very special to me and to my family. As Bill Shankly said: ‘Liverpool Football Club exists to win trophies.’ I wish you all the best. Once red, always red!”
