In-progress transfer talks could result in the departure of a Liverpool youngster who was regarded highly enough to make his Champions League debut under Jürgen Klopp.
As negotiations with League One team Oxford United advance, Max Woltman, a forward in the Liverpool academy, is on the verge of leaving the organization.
The 2-1 Champions League victory over AC Milan at the San Siro in December 2021 marked the 19-year-old’s first-team debut under Jürgen Klopp.
He has been a member of Liverpool since he was seven years old.
Woltman, however, returned to Liverpool’s under-23s squad for the remainder of the season after a loan stint at Doncaster Rovers last term where he struggled for playing time.
Manager Liam Manning has taken notice of Woltman as he has been playing for Oxford in various friendlies over the summer. Woltman is not an immediate impact player for the team, according to Manning, who views him as a development project.
Manning said (via the ECHO) “We’re talking to Liverpool and exploring what that looks like. “It’s more of a development project than something that will immediately have an effect on the team,” the author said. I believe he is the kind of player who fits how we want to play, considering his personality, character, and some of the qualities he displayed in brief moments.
“We don’t have the next one coming up under that when you look at the competition in his position with Ruben Rodrigues and Billy Bodin. The main factor is how the deal is structured. Everything depends on how the deal ultimately turns out. ”.
Woltman has scored twice in 13 appearances for Barry Lewtas’ under-23 team since his return to Liverpool in January. He was, nonetheless, ineligible to take part in the UEFA Youth League games.
Oxford, which placed 19th in League One last season, is looking to add players to its roster in preparation for the 2023–24 season. It would gain a promising young talent for the future from the potential acquisition of Woltman.

Trent Alexander-Arnold has been named as Virgil van Dijk’s vice-captain by Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp.
In place of Jordan Henderson, Trent Alexander-Arnold has been named vice captain and Virgil van Dijk has been named the new Liverpool captain by Jurgen Klopp.
The Netherlands defender was brought in to fill Henderson’s shoes after the latter gave up the captaincy to join Saudi Arabia’s Al-Ettifaq after being lured to the region and signing a staggering £700,000-per-week contract.
Van Dijk joined the Reds from Southampton in 2018 and has since established himself as one of the team’s top performers during a successful period that has seen the team win its first Premier League championship and sixth Champions League trophy.
He will assume the captaincy, making him the first Reds defender to do so since Sami Hyypia gave it up in 2003.
Van Dijk said to Liverpoolfc . com in Singapore: “[It’s] a really proud day for me, for my wife, for my kids, and for my family.”. I struggle to put into words the unique feeling I’ve been experiencing.
But it’s something I’m really, really proud of. “Of course, I’m captain of Holland; that was already such a tremendous honor and a proud moment.”. I can’t right now describe what it’s like to also be the captain of Liverpool Football Club.
“It’s just something that makes me very proud, and I will do everything I can to make everyone happy and proud of me and the football club.”. ‘ .
Van Dijk has led the Netherlands since being named captain ahead of the 2022 World Cup, and Klopp has apparently been impressed enough to name him as Liverpool’s newest manager.
The 32-year-old has played a crucial role in the club’s recent success, but over the past two seasons, he has struggled with serious injuries at various points.
He missed 41 days of the previous season due to a hamstring injury, and he also missed nearly the entire 2020–21 campaign due to surgery for a cruciate ligament injury.
In the event that he is unable to participate in games during the upcoming season, vice-captain Alexander-Arnold will assume the captaincy.
The city is where the England international was born, and he has played a crucial role in Klopp’s efforts to help Liverpool win more trophies.
His place in Liverpool’s lineup was called into question following a disappointing campaign the previous year, during which the Reds struggled to find consistency and ultimately finished outside the Champions League spots.
After a late surge of impressive midfield displays, Alexander-Arnold recovered and is once more anticipated to start every game for Klopp in 2019.
