Liverpool approached to sign for 2022 only to leave after Klopp finds replacement
Liverpool are considering dropping Calvin Ramsay this summer after interest in him emerged from the league, reportedly.

Ramsay joined Liverpool last year in a £4.2m transfer from Aberdeen. However, due to some injury concerns, he is yet to make his Premier League debut. The full-back will now examine what he needs to do to get his development back on track.

Liverpool have Ramsay under contract until 2027. But now there are indications he could spend next season on loan.

In fact, the Liverpool Echo have revealed that Preston North End are looking to sign Ramsay on a season-long loan in the Championship.

Preston boss Ryan Lowe was born in Liverpool and now hopes he can bring the Reds on board for Ramsay next season. In return, he could follow in the footsteps of Sepp van den Berg, on loan from Liverpool to Preston between February 2021 and June 2022.

According to the report, Liverpool are yet to decide whether Ramsay will be loaned out or not. The club know they must ensure Ramsay has more playing time next season. He may still be within his under-21 lineup or in a new temporary home.

If the latter option is preferred, Preston – who finished 12th in the league this season – will be hoping to take advantage of it.
Liverpool find new cover for Alexander-Arnold

And in turn, Liverpool already have an idea of ​​how to fill the gap at right-back. It is clear that Trent Alexander-Arnold remains their main option there, even in the new hybrid midfield role he is adapting to. But they will still need further coverage, especially after allowing James Milner to leave for free.

According to the Echo, Liverpool’s solution could once again come from their academy. Conor Bradley returns to Liverpool in pre-season following a productive loan spell at Bolton Wanderers.

Bradley himself is only 19, just like Ramsay. However, he might have the chance to show Jurgen Klopp what he can contribute. Bolton gave Bradley 53 appearances in the 2022-23 season including winning the EFL Trophy. Before that, he earned his first five senior caps for Liverpool.

The amount of playing time he gets in League One shows the benefits a spell in the EFL can have for player development. Therefore, Ramsay may be considering moving to the second tier with Preston.

Only time will tell if that will be his only option this summer and whether or not Liverpool will give the green light to the temporary transfer.

Considering that Arthur Melo has disappeared without a trace and Fabio Carvalho also wants to leave, the fact that a third player added by Liverpool last summer may also leave – albeit temporarily – does not reflect any image of the transfer job of Last year. The summer at Anfield reflected the best lights.

But Ramsay might be able to salvage something by learning his trade better in the English Second Division game. Now it’s up to Liverpool to decide what to do with him.
