  15. <description><p>Liverpool is said to be close to snapping up Dutch defender Jeremie Frimpong, having opted to trigger a release clause that exists in his contract with Bayer Leverkusen.</p><p>Upon tying up all the loose ends of the transfer, Frimpong will have to decide which jersey number he wishes to sport at Liverpool; his most likely pick is the number 30.</p> <p>The 24-year-old donned the number 30 during his spell at former club Celtic and throughout his time in Germany.[BREAK]Luckily for him, it's up for grabs at Anfield â\x80\x93 and has been collecting dust for nearly 10 years.</p> <p>Suso, the Spanish winger, was the last player to sport Liverpool's number 30, sliding into the jersey when he broke into the senior squad.[BREAK]<p> While Frimpong appears to be a shoo-in to claim the number, there's reportedly still some groundwork needed before he lands at Anfield, reports the Mirror.[BREAK]Speaking with German news outlet SPORT, Carro remarked: "Jeremie Frimpong has a long contract with us, he also has a release clause, but we are not aware of a move at the moment.</p> <p>"The rumors surprised me a bit when I started in the football business seven years ago.[BREAK]That's the general answer, I'm not talking about individuals."</p> <p>Frimpong might not be the only one making a switch to Anfield this summer; his teammate Florian Wirtz is also on Liverpool's radar, despite Manchester City eyeing him as a potential successor to Kevin De Bruyne.</p> <p>The German international could also don his preferred squad number at Liverpool[BREAK]His current number 27 at Bayer Leverkusen is up for grabs at Anfield after Darwin Nunez switched for the number nine jersey.</p> <p>Securing both Frimpong and Wirtz would come at a steep cost for Liverpool</description>

  28. <title>Arne Slot defiant over Federico Chiesa future as Liverpool boss explains what's next (Echo)</title>

  30. <description>Liverpool attacker Federico Chiesa has been linked with a move away from Anfield.(Image: Photo by Catherine Ivill - AMA/Getty Images)<p class="Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh">For a manager who has been keen to get a look at some of his players on the fringes since becoming Premier League champions, Arne Slot has continued to largely overlook the offerings of Federico Chiesa.</p><p class="Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh">Rarely does a social media post about the Reds' team news pass without plenty of debate around the omission of Chiesa and that was arguably never more prevalent than last week, when the Italian was left out of the squad entirely for the visit of Arsenal.</p><p class="Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh">Slot made six changes for the recent trip to Chelsea but Chiesa still found his nose pressed up to the glass, watching on as an onlooker for 82 minutes before he was belatedly sent on to rescue a game the champions lost 3-1.</p>READ MORE:Arne Slot makes Federico Chiesa position at Liverpool clear - 'Is he good enough?'READ MORE:Arne Slot makes Liverpool transfer declaration and confirms position on squad players - 'there's a reason'<p class="Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh">That's how it's generally been for the attacker since he traded Liverpool for Juventus in August of last year.[BREAK]Only twice has Chiesa completed 90 minutes, with the Champions League dead rubber against PSV in January followed by the dismal FA Cup exit at Plymouth Argyle the following month.</p><p class="Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh">Just 392 minutes across 13 appearances since his arrival paints the picture of a player who is very much down the pecking order for the Reds and while that much is no surprise given the wealth of options available to Slot, the troubling part for Chiesa is how little he's featured since the title was wrapped up last month.</p><p class="Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh">In 180 minutes played since, he has featured for just eight and the decision to leave him out of the squad for the visit of Arsenal has been interpreted as a head coach who sees no use for the only signing of his time so far.</p>Article continues below<p class="Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh">That might be harsh and Slot has argued that his omission speaks more to the embarrassment of riches he has in his forward department but Diogo Jota and Darwin Nunez have just 11 Premier League goals between them this term and neither have been anywhere top speed for some time now.</p><p class="Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh">Despite being overlooked, Slot has doubled down on his insistence that Chiesa's future does not lie away from Anfield, claiming that his use of the phrase "or another club" when discussing his player's credentials in his Friday press conference was a slip of the tongue.</p><p class="Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh">"No, that was lost in translation or I didn't say it in the way I meant it," Slot says.[BREAK]At the time, there seemed little need to rush the summer signing into anything that might have been too strenuous given he had no pre-season to call his own while Juve negotiated his exit.</p><p class="Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh">With Mohamed Salah in some of the best form of his career, Luis Diaz and Cody Gakpo enjoying fruitful periods and Nunez and Jota jockeying for position as the No.9, there was never any need to force Chiesa into something that might trigger a prolonged spell on the sidelines.</p><p class="Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh">But as we near the end of his first year on Merseyside, at no point has Chiesa threatened to move beyond his station of sixth choice forward.[BREAK]Featuring match reports, player spotlights, behind-the-scenes stories and iconic moments from a campaign to remember.</p><p class="Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh">Celebrate Liverpool's Premier League title win with the perfect souvenir by ordering a copy online today, just click here!</p><p class="Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh">A must-have 48-page keepsake for every Red.</p>Mohamed Salah of Liverpool celebrates scoring his team's fourth goal during the Premier League match between Liverpool FC and Tottenham Hotspur FC at Anfield on April 27, 2025 (Image: Liverpool FC/Liverpool FC via Getty Images)<p class="Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh">And you can also order a copy of Monday's Liverpool ECHO celebrating Liverpool's triumph direct to your home on our online store.</p>Liverpool ECHO front page.[BREAK]April 28, 2025<p class="Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh">Also available is the Liverpool FC CHAMP20NS: Premier League winners 24/25, with a double sided poster.</p><p class="Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh">Pre-order here: https://reachsportshop.com/special_edition/liverpool-fc-champ20ns-premier-league-winners-24-25/</p>Liverpool FC CHAMP20NS magazine<p class="Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh">"Does he have a future here?[BREAK]But yeah, pre-season gives them the chance to show themselves again."</p><p class="Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh">The former Fiorentina man was widely seen as a low-risk signing with a huge upside last year but couching as a £12m steal always came with the caveat that Liverpool would need to get him up to the sort of speed he was at four years ago for it to be considered something of a transfer masterstroke.</p><p class="Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh">Claims of interest from Napoli this week have been dismissed but a return to his homeland, where his reputation is at its highest, may be a move that suits all parties at this stage.</p><p class="Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh">Having joined the Reds after the season was already underway, Chiesa has been made to play catch-up from day one and he seems to be getting no closer to doing so.</p>Article continues below<p class="Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh">Slot, though, is preparing to give Chiesa another bite at the cherry this summer in a bid to prove he belongs with the new Premier League champions.</p></description>

  35. <description>Salah ended months of speculation in April when he agreed a new two-year contract having been set to leave on a free transfer in the summer.</p><p class="Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh">The Egyptian hadn't expected the Reds to be open to a new deal given the long-standing trend under owners Fenway Sports Group not to give lucrative contracts to players in their 30s.</p><p class="Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh">However, Salah, who will be 33 this summer, and Virgil van Dijk, who turns 34 before the start of the new campaign, have both thrashed out extensions to their Anfield careers.</p>READ MORE:Mohamed Salah speaks out on Trent Alexander-Arnold abuse - 'not how we act'READ MORE:I heard Arne Slot's honest answer and it said everything about where Liverpool focus now lies<p class="Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh">And when asked what percentage he thought there was of a new deal 12 months ago, Salah said: "Based on club history, 10%.</p><p class="Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh">"Because we know how the club - I'm not attacking them - just I know how they deal with players over 30 in the past, and I know how the situation will be, so I'd never expect that the club was going to be like 'okay, two years with the money, and all of us are happy'.[BREAK]So I didn't expect that I'm going to stay.</p><p class="Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh">"It's in my head, based on club philosophy, (that) I will not stay.[BREAK]I know how the club works, it's not something that is bad, it's just we see how they deal with a situation like this in the past.[BREAK]So, based on experience, you saw in the past, you just judge a situation."</p>Article continues below<p class="Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh">Salah added: "I think it took like six months for negotiations to start going really quick, and I think from January it's like, okay, now things are getting better and better.[BREAK]He was last week named Footballer of the Year, is a front-runner for the PFA Player of the Year award is expected to win the Premier League Golden Boot.</p><p class="Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh">The Egyptian is also among the favourites for the Ballon d'Or having previously never before finished higher than fifth despite racking up the records and trophies while with Liverpool.</p><p class="Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh">"It used to drive me crazy before, but some stuff is not in your hands, so you give up in that direction," said Salah.[BREAK]But I'm sure there's a good chance of winning it this year."</p><p class="Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh">Speaking to Sky Sports, Salah was also given the opportunity to pay tribute to Kevin De Bruyne, who will leave Manchester City at the end of the season after 10 years among the best players in the Premier League.</p><p class="Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh">"I want to tell him congratulations for your career here, he has done phenomenal at City and was great for the league," he said.</description>
