Two days and counting! We’ve got the latest transfer news, team fitness updates and the futures of our front line all in one place for you today.
Sadio Mane’s agent chatting with Bayern
The rumours over our No10’s immediate future are not going to go away for a few days at least, after Mane himself said he would only speak about what’s next following the Champions League final.
As such, it’s no big shock to see a new update from the German media today: Bild claim Mane’s camp has been in touch with Bayern Munich, with the Bavarian side both persistent with phone calls and also meeting Bjorn Bezemer – his agent – in Mallorca.
Their report claims they’ll try and knock down the price from €50m to around €30m, which is quite a massive gap right now.
Just make sure you bang in the winner in Paris, Sadio, and then we’ll talk.
Harvey Elliott exclusive interview
TIA have spoken to LFC’s talented teenager Harvey Elliott, with the attacker detailing exactly how Fabio Carvalho will fit right in at Anfield and why fans should look forward to his arrival.
They played together at Fulham‘s academy, of course, and he’s expecting a quick transition to showing what he can do at the highest level.
Elsewhere, Elliott also spoke about Mohamed Salah‘s contract situation, his return from injury and the quest to keep improving in a wide-ranging chat at Kirkby.
Spine of the team
- Virgil van Dijk has acknowledged he needed a break to ensure he remains in peak physical condition, having sat out the very end of the Reds’ Premier League campaign
- Fabinho will be fit and raring to go after injury, says midfield partner Jordan Henderson – while the skipper also thinks his England squad omission will be a positive for both club and country
- Roberto Firmino has followed Salah rather than Mane with an update on his plans for next year: He wants to stay, has no plans to leave and is “very happy” at Anfield!
