✍️ Liverpool close to appointing Etienne Reijnen as an assistant to Arne Slot, a move that will cease - for the time being - speculation about his future.
Reijnen, says Slot, is “some I rate very highly”

I have witnessed this club go from doubters to believers, and from believers to champions. It took hard work and I always did everything I could to help the club get there. Nothing makes me prouder than that.
Us crumbling to yet another defeat this season was very painful and not what our fans deserve. I want to see Liverpool go back to being the heavy metal attacking team that opponents fear and back to being a team that wins trophies. That is the football I know how to play and that is the identity that needs to be recovered and kept for good. It cannot be negotiable and everyone that joins this club should adapt to it.
Winning some games here and there is not what Liverpool should be about. All teams win games.
Liverpool will always be a club that means a great deal to me and to my family. I want to see it succeed for long after I have moved on.
As I’ve always said, qualifying to next season’s Champions League is the bare minimum and I will do everything I can to make that happen.
🚨 Arne Slot on being denied a penalty:
“There was an obvious moment in the first half where we didn't go to the floor, which I understand because every time we go to the floor we never get a penalty.
"Those are the margins, I see other teams going down in situations like that but we don't do that. We've gone down when fouls were made multiple times this season and not got a penalty.
"In general we do speak about it and other players going down easily to get free kicks or other moments but this is who we are.
"Against West Ham Lucas Paqueta tried everything possible to get a second yellow and Alisson, who plays with him on the national team, tried to help him not get a yellow. In the end he got the second yellow in that game.
"If other fans or people look into it you will find moments where we went down and didn't get anything. In the end it is who we are."

Can we just skip to 2nd Sept already. This is becoming very irritating at this point now. All our signings and good work over shadowed by this one very specific transfer saga.
Really feel for Iska and Wissa as well. They’ve waited all this while for this to work out.
🚨𝗡𝗘𝗪 - @David_Ornstein via Sky Sports: Liverpool aren’t currently pushing hard on the Isak deal, believing their £110m offer was close to their limit. They’ve previously shown openness to going up to £120m, so there’s some flexibility but likely not much beyond that.
Newcastle remain firm, valuing Isak at around £150m and insisting they don’t plan to sell this summer. Whether they hold that stance or shift before the deadline remains to be seen.
There’s no strong sense of new bids coming imminently. Liverpool may wait to see if Newcastle make the next move, especially after their recent big spending.
It’s clear Isak wants the Liverpool move and expects it to happen and across the industry, belief is quietly growing that a deal could still be done.
🚨 EXCLUSIVE: Arsenal working to sign Piero Hincapie from Bayer Leverkusen - subject to player exits. 23yo defender told #Bayer04 of wish to leave + prioritising #AFC above others. Efforts ongoing to make fee more realistic than €60m clause @TheAthleticFC https://t.co/3DU5Gfjqsf
This is getting very dirty now. Too much negativity to be surrounded around.
Liverpool should just stay away from this now. Let Isak and Newcastle sort this out this transfer window.
