Without a doubt, Arne Slot will try to bring some fresh faces to Anfield before the new Premier League season begins. Major players like Riccardo Calafiori and Anthony Gordon are still being strongly connected to Liverpool, but it’s questionable if new sporting director Richard Hughes will make the financial commitment.
Slot will want to hold onto his finest players even though adding players to the Reds roster is crucial. Next year marks the expiration of contracts for Trent Alexander Arnold, Mohamed Salah, and Virgil van Dijk.
Naturally, the three will be crucial to the new Liverpool head coach’s Merseyside project’s beginning. Having said that, the ECHO has examined the most recent rumours and rumours regarding transfers.
Howard offers Klopp a promise.
Tim Howard has offered to fly to Spain to speak with former Reds manager Jurgen Klopp about taking over as manager of the US national team because he thinks he can convince him to do so. The German stated before to the season’s conclusion that he had notified Liverpool of his intention to retire in November, giving the hierarchy ample opportunity to select the ideal successor in the summer.
The former Everton custodian stated in a Daily Mail column: “I will personally fly to Spain after the disappointing Copa America, after the United States lost to Uruguay and eliminated at the group stages. I really do.
“I understand that Klopp wants a vacation and that he has just been retired for a few weeks. But I believe I could entice him over here if we spent time together around his Spanish villa. Completely.
“There is no doubt about the money. My argument would be straightforward: he has a young set of players that are capable of playing front-foot, progressive football, just like his Liverpool teams. And he can attend the greatest World Cup in history in two years.”
The ECHO states: “Jurgen Klopp would make an excellent US head coach, but I don’t think he’s ready for that role at this point in his career. Before he goes global, I’d like to see him work on another domestic endeavour.”
Koeman describes the ideal Gakpo posture.
Ronaldo Koeman has provided guidance on how to maximise Cody Gakpo’s potential. After the Netherlands defeated Romania in the round of 16 of the 2024 European Cup, the former Everton manager claimed to reporters that the star player for Liverpool is a left winger. It comes amid rumours that England player Gordon could be of interest to the Reds.
“His position is on the left side because he is really dangerous when he gets one-on-one with the full-back,” Koeman stated, as quoted by the Express. He possesses his qualities both within and outside.
“He is powerful. This tournament, he’s playing at an extremely high level. I hope the rest of my team can reach his calibre because he has perhaps been our most crucial player thus far.”
According to the ECHO, Ronald Koeman has outlined the precise reasons why Cody Gakpo ought to stick to playing on the left wing going forward. Arne Slot will be hoping that the Liverpool star, who was outstanding at the Euros this summer, can continue his good play into the upcoming campaign. In essence, even in the event that a deal for Anthony Gordon falls through, the Reds manager may acquire a fresh left-winger for himself.”
