Here’s our Liverpool news recap for Saturday 22nd June with updates on Arne Slot, Adrien Rabiot, Nico Williams and Anthony Patterson.
Rabiot linked
Liverpool have been named as surprise suitors for Adrien Rabiot who is soon to be out-of-contract at Juventus.
The midfielder, who has started both of France’s games at Euro 2024, sees his contract with the Serie A giants expire at the end of the month and didn’t respond to the club’s offer of a two-year deal worth €7.5 million to €8m per annum before the jetting off to Germany to represent his country.
As a result, Rabiot’s future is very much up in the air and it is now reported that he will consider his options ahead of next season with Liverpool named among other Premier League sides as potentially interested in signing him on a free transfer.
Kelleher replacement eyed
Caoimhin Kelleher looks set to depart Anfield this summer in search of first-team football.
The 25-year-old has attracted the interest of Celtic as well as Premier League suitors like Wolves and Nottingham Forest with the Reds’ new transfer team of Richard Hughes and Michael Edwards hoping to net over £20 million for the talented goalkeeper.
In the event that Kelleher does leave, the Reds will need an adequate back-up in place and they’ve been linked with a move for Sunderland’s Anthony Patterson. Having said that, Manchester City are also said to be interested so a transfer battle may be on the horizon.
