DEAL WITH £63K-A-WEEK STAR AT ANFIELD IS ‘COMPLETED’ BY LIVERPOOL

According to transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano, who spoke exclusively to GIVEMESPORT, Liverpool goalkeeper Adrian is expected to remain at Anfield for one additional year.
Although he has only appeared twice in the past two seasons, the uncapped Spanish international appears to have committed his near future to the Reds.
Caoimhin Kelleher is reportedly prepared to leave Liverpool in pursuit of consistent playing time, despite the fact that Liverpool do not want to lose him.
Adrian might be able to take advantage of this by playing more frequently in the future, especially in cup games.
Since transferring for free from West Ham United in 2019, Adrian has acted as Alisson Becker’s backup. Despite not playing as frequently as he would have liked, Adrian has won numerous awards, including the Premier League, FA Cup, and Carabao Cup.
Adrian asserted on Twitter after Liverpool’s final game of the 2022–23 season against Southampton that “great lessons” had been learned and that they will soon be back to their best.
Adrian may have an opportunity to prove his value despite being the oldest player at the club after Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp praised his third-choice goalie as “incredible.”
Adrian, according to Romano, will play for Liverpool for one more season, and a club announcement is just around the corner.
What part will Adrian play for Liverpool in the upcoming season?
Alisson, one of the few Liverpool players who can walk tall after a turbulent 2022–23 season, will undoubtedly continue to be Jurgen Klopp’s first-choice goalkeeper.
In contrast to Kelleher, who has appeared a total of seven times in both the Premier League and the Carabao Cup, Liverpool’s 36-year-old goalkeeper has played zero games in the Premier League this year.
The former West Ham player’s final match for the team was in Liverpool’s 3-1 victory against Manchester City in the Community Shield in July of last year, although he has since been left out of the lineup.
The Spaniard was the German tactician’s third choice during the previous campaign, but he will look to move up the list once Kelleher leaves.
If Kelleher does decide to leave for greener pastures, Liverpool will be compelled to sign a new backup goalkeeper to step in when necessary, therefore the upcoming season will likely be more of the same for the £63,000 per week earning.

Bayern Munich want $118m Liverpool transfer ‘target’ as Chelsea warning ignored
Liverpool rivals roundup: Bayern Munich could be close to making a big offer for a Liverpool-linked player, while a Chelsea warning has emerged from a former manager.
With Liverpool’s season now over, all attention is focused on what is expected to be a very busy transfer window.
With new sporting director Jörg Schmadtke at the helm, the Reds will sign a string of signings this summer after a disappointing season on all fronts.
The midfielder will undoubtedly be Jurgen Klopp’s priority and transfer plans already seem to be taking shape. Alexis Mac Allister could be the first new face at Anfield (via 90 Minutes).
It won’t be the only position we aspire to, however, as defensive reinforcements are also needed, while other players could be eliminated following the departures of Roberto Firmino, James Milner, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Naby Keïta.
But Liverpool won’t be the only club wanting to be busy during the transfer window. Many of the Reds’ rivals will be aiming to make an impression in the transfer market and could even challenge Klopp for some of his goals.
Here, Liverpool.com scans other top teams in the Premier League and across Europe to see news from other clubs.
Bayern Munich is preparing a 118 million dollar offer for Rice
Bayern Munich are set to make a huge offer for Declan Rice this summer, according to the Mirror. There is much speculation surrounding Rice’s future as the transfer window approaches and several reports have linked him with a move to Arsenal.
However, new Bundesliga champions Bayern could put a big wrench in the Gunners’ works. According to the report, Thomas Tuchel’s side are ready to make a $118m (£95m/€110m) bid to land the West Ham star and beat the England international’s rival from the start.
In April, Sky Sports reported that Rice was an option Liverpool were considering, but such a price was certainly out of reach.
Liverpool.com says: It would be a surprise if Rice moved to Munich. All the latest reports on his future seem to indicate that he is ready to join Arsenal.
Rice could have been a welcome addition to Liverpool this summer, although with offers in excess of $100m on the cards, he is unlikely to fit into the plans of several midfield signings. Potter warned Chelsea about star being ‘too expensive’.
Former Chelsea manager Graham Potter warned the club’s board they were “making too many signings” and insisted Enzo Fernández was “too expensive”, according to The Guardian.
Potter was sacked as Chelsea manager after just 31 games, despite the club spending more than $746m (£600m/€695m) on signings under owner Todd Boehly.
The Blues had a disastrous season, finishing 12th in the Premier League, and The Guardian suggests their former manager sought to raise concerns with the club’s board after being left with a bloated squad, including $133m (£107m / €124m) January signing of Fernandez.
Liverpool.com says: If Potter had indeed warned the Chelsea board about the signings they were making, perhaps they should have listened to him.
If Liverpool fans think their season was bad, it was nothing compared to the Blues’ season.
Mauricio Pochettino is now tasked with picking up the pieces of Chelsea’s disastrous season, and Boehly and company may have to listen to what the Argentinian has to say to them this summer.
