Liverpool tour plans in full, pre-season dates, and when Arne Slot may be presented

Arne Slot took over as Liverpool’s head coach on June 1, and pre-season activities are already underway. More appointments are needed in the coming weeks.

Liverpool has moved on from Jurgen Klopp to Arne Slot. While we have yet to hear from the Dutchman during his time at Anfield, the Reds are busy behind the scenes preparing for pre-season.

The European Championship and Copa America will cause disruptions as players return from international competition. Trent Alexander-Arnold and Alexis MacAllister, for example, will return late for preseason, with their countries expected to advance in the tournaments in which they compete.

The first of the Liverpool players will return in around a month. Curtis Jones and Jarell Quansah, who are anticipated to be left out of England’s European Championship squad, could be among those to make an immediate impact under their new manager.

The remaining players’ return dates will be virtually entirely determined by when their respective countries are eliminated from the tournaments in which they are competing. After that, they will have a break before rejoining the group, but with a new manager to impress, they will be eager to get started.

According to The Athletic, Slot’s introduction was ‘always planned’ to take place closer to the start of pre-season rather than when he arrived. That makes sense given that Slot currently has no players to work with; any work done now will focus on preparation for the future season and beyond.

During preseason in the United States, the Reds will face Real Betis, Manchester United, and Arsenal. It remains to be seen whether more friendly will be scheduled, although there are only about four weeks between the conclusion of the European Championship and Copa America and the start of the new Premier League season.

Liverpool.com says: Slot’s arrival, once he gets to work with his new players, will be quite exciting. As he stamps his own mark on things, there will be new methods of playing to adapt to, as well as a new pecking order in some places.

The Dutchman will need to incorporate some of Klopp’s ideas, but he must also be himself. His football technique is similar, but he will need to let his personality shine through.

More news…….

Following the announcement of Manchester United’s transfer statement, Liverpool is “leading race for £102 million” midfielder.

Joao Neves, a midfielder for Benfica, is reportedly being linked to Liverpool in a mega-money transfer.

According to reports, Liverpool will have competition this summer from Chelsea, Manchester United, and Bayern Munich in the fight for Benfica midfield player Joao Neves.

The 19-year-old midfielder’s breakout season, which saw him play in 55 games across all competitions, has been linked to a big-money move away from the Estadio da Luz.

Shortly after Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s minority ownership was disclosed in January, Neves was linked to a move to United; however, Benfica denied rumours that the Portugal international was in talks to move to Old Trafford.

O Jogo, however, claims that Neves will be the focus of an enormous financial bidding battle involving some of the best teams in Europe. The Reds, United, Chelsea, Arsenal, Bayern Munich, and Paris Saint-Germain are all rumoured to be interested in signing the 19-year-old. Liverpool and the other three Premier League teams are allegedly “leading the race” for the midfield player, though.

According to the article, if Neves were to leave Benfica this summer, the team would require any potential bidders to fulfil his £102.3 million release clause.

When asked in February about his future at Benfica, Neves responded, “Will you be staying at Benfica next year? Nothing about the upcoming season is guaranteed. Right now, I would like to remain at Benfica, but we shall see—you never know. His current deal with Benfica expires in 2028.
