The 28-person squad has been confirmed by Liverpool FC for their preseason tour of the USA

The 28 players that will be heading to the United States for Liverpool’s preseason tour have already been revealed. The tour begins on Saturday against Real Betis.

For the first time since 2019, the Reds will be visiting the US this summer, and Arne Slot, who took over for Jurgen Klopp, will be leading a new-look squad.

After working with his players for little over a week, Slot will go on a three-city tour, starting on Tuesday in Pittsburgh.

A number of important players are still missing since they are competing in summer international tournaments, but Liverpool has confirmed which players will be travelling to the United States.

The following players are still on post-season leave: Alisson, Virgil van Dijk, Ibrahima Konate, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Joe Gomez, Alexis Mac Allister, Ryan Gravenberch, Cody Gakpo, Diogo Jota, Darwin Nunez, and Luis Diaz.

Nonetheless, other players have been to the US this week, including Wataru Endo, Harvey Elliott, Andy Robertson, Mohamed Salah, Dominik Szoboszlai, and Curtis Jones.

Because there aren’t many well-known names, Slot works with a larger number of people, to which a variety of young people and outsiders join.

Those that have made the cut include Amara Nallo, Trey Nyoni, Luke Chambers, and Ben Doak.

Other first-team regulars who are travelling are Jarell Quansah, Kostas Tsimikas, Conor Bradley, Stefan Bajcetic, James McConnell, and Kaide Gordon.

Jota and Alisson are anticipated to reunite with the team in the US at a later time.

Liverpool plans to waive their traditional wage structure in order to sign Rio Ngumoha, a teenage player from Chelsea.

After Ngumoha and Chelsea’s contract negotiations broke down, Liverpool is nearing a deal to sign the highly-regarded young player from their Premier League opponents.

The 15-year-old’s West London contract ends this summer, and the Reds are willing to pay above the academy level in order to recruit him.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Liverpool and the England youth international are close to reaching an agreement, which would be a major win for the Merseysiders’ academy system.

Ngumoha, who was born in 2008, participated in 2023–24 as a member of the Chelsea first team after training with them earlier this year. He rose to become Chelsea’s under-21 team’s third-youngest player of the century.

The winger, who has been compared to Jamal Musiala, scored in the championship game to win the Premier League U16 Nationals “Player of the Tournament” award in October 2023. In April, he also scored in the u-17 Premier League Cup Final with a fantastic solo performance
