The late, legendary goalkeeper Ray Clemence joined the Reds on this day in 1967 ❤️
He went on to make 665 appearances for the club, winning five league titles and three European Cups - a true legend of the Kop 👏
[🚨] NEW: With negotiations over Bradley Barcola’s contract extension dragging on, PSG are not entirely closed to the idea of a sale.
Barcola would like to play more regularly in the biggest matches, something Paris are not prepared to guarantee.
Luis Enrique and Bradley are expected to discuss the matter, with the coach keen to keep his winger.
Barcola will not force a move or enter into a dispute with PSG.
Nothing is expected to genuinely progress before the end of the World Cup.
For a departure to happen, all the necessary conditions would need to be met, which is not currently the case.

We understand that Liverpool Football Club has officially submitted a bid for Yan Diomande.
We should see mainstream media picking up on this news in the coming days.
Keep an eye out for updates, as this transfer saga is just getting started.
[🟢] NEW: There are clubs looking at the situation of Alexis Mac Allister. In case of good proposal for the club, for the player, the Mac Allister situation could develop during the summer window. 👀
It’s not guaranteed but it could be a topic.

🚨Update on Adam Wharton, Lamine Camara, Sangare, Alex Scott and Warren Zaire Emery.
Camara and Sangare have been monitored throughout the season. Liverpool held talks with Camara to understand a price, now whether they proceed is the question. Sangare is also loved and could be a bigger priority than Camara.
Wharton deal currently being shelved as price is too high and a change of manager could shift the focus of targets.
Alex Scott also on the list. Liverpool feel they could get a deal done for around £60m.
Liverpool have loved Zaire Emery for a while now but a deal still feels very far fetched.
These transfers should accelerate after the World Cup.
Joshua Abe. I think Liverpool are looking to give him around 10-15 first team appearances including pre-season friendlies. The talk is he rejected around 50k a week offered by Man City. A pathway at Liverpool was massive for the player. #LFC
🚨Liverpool pushing hard to land young talent Xavier Parker. Manchester City are understood to be furious losing such an elite talent like Xavier, Rio Ngumoha's pathway looking more fruitful to all talents across Europe. Deal is edging very close to agreement.

🚨 Bayer Leverkusen win race for Kennet Eichhorn. Massive interest from Germany + England but 16yo Hertha Berlin midfielder selected #Bayer04 after pursuit led by Simon Rolfes & Kim Falkenberg. Release clause to be activated @TheAthleticFC post @Plettigoal https://t.co/oAaMvVDIwt
🚨⭐️𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚 - @TheSecretScout_: Liverpool and Xavier Parker representatives have begun contract negotiations. Both parties want the move. Parker is a Liverpool fan.
Expected to leave Man City at the end of this month when his contract ends and join Liverpool 💣
Thanks to the outstanding relationship between Liverpool and Bayer Leverkusen, a relationship I have consistently highlighted throughout the Florian Wirtz negotiations, an agreement has now been reached between all parties involved regarding the future of Kennet Eichhorn, exactly as anticipated and reported yesterday.
I reported yesterday that Liverpool’s objective was never in doubt and that the club would continue exploring alternative structures should legal, regulatory and contractual complexities make the original pathway more difficult, and that has now proven to be the case. The agreed solution will see Eichhorn join Bayer Leverkusen permanently on paper rather than through the initially discussed loan structure, allowing all parties to navigate the relevant considerations while preserving Liverpool’s long-term objective of eventually bringing the player to Anfield.
Central to the agreement is a future release clause mechanism specifically designed to protect Liverpool’s long-term position, with the club securing contractual assurances that provide a clear and realistic pathway to complete the transfer at a later stage despite Eichhorn becoming a Bayer Leverkusen player in the meantime. The release clause will only become active once the player reaches the age of nineteen, at which point Liverpool will be able to trigger the agreed mechanism should they wish to proceed, a provision those familiar with the structure describe as the most important aspect of the entire agreement, ensuring the club retain a clear route towards a player they continue to value exceptionally highly.
From Liverpool’s perspective, the outcome is viewed extremely positively, because rather than abandoning the pursuit due to difficulties surrounding the signing-on fees and compensation structures being sought by the player’s camp, the club have effectively secured a delayed pathway towards the same objective they have pursued from the outset. Bayer Leverkusen, meanwhile, receive one of Germany’s most highly regarded young talents and, as I can now exclusively reveal, also received important assurances regarding Jarell Quansah as part of the broader relationship between the two clubs, with Liverpool agreeing that they do not intend to activate the buy-back clause currently included in the defender’s contract, further highlighting the strength of the relationship between the two clubs. Everything about this outcome reflects the trust established between Liverpool and Bayer Leverkusen over recent years, with all parties leaving discussions satisfied and Eichhorn retaining every opportunity to fulfil his long-term dream of one day playing at Anfield.
