'There would be no shortage of takers for Jones' published at 15:40 BST 17 June

Over on our live page our chief football writer Phil McNulty has been taking your questions.
Lynne: Should Liverpool sell Curtis Jones?
Phil McNulty: There seems to be mixed opinions among Liverpool fans about Curtis Jones, but he does appear to be highly-rated by Arne Slot and England head coach Thomas Tuchel.
There is going to be some tough competition at Liverpool next season, especially once Florian Wirtz comes into the equation, so Jones will want plenty of game time with the World Cup coming up next summer.
This could be a big factor. I would be reluctant to sell, but Liverpool will want to recoup some of their lavish spending and there would be no shortage of takers should Jones come on the market.
The same will apply to Harvey Elliott, who has already hinted that he cannot afford to be sitting on the sidelines with a World Cup coming up.
Robertson: Defensively consistent but attack has taken a hitpublished at 12:53 BST 17 June

Liverpool's Andy Robertson has been linked with a move to Spain's Atletico Madrid, with Bournemouth's Milos Kerkez set to come in to take his place in the squad.
Robertson, 31, has won six major trophies on Merseyside and has the second highest tally of assists for a defender in the competition (60), only behind former Red Trent Alexander-Arnold (64).
However, after registering one assist last season, it can be suggested that it is the right time to move the Scotsman on.
Across the past three Premier League seasons Robertson's general attacking output has declined, with just the seven big chances created during Liverpool's title winning campaign in 2024-25, compared to double digit seasons in the two prior.
One of Liverpool's biggest problems last term was their ineffectiveness from corners, with 73% of them going into the box being given away to the opposition, and it can perhaps be explained by Robertson's big drop in corner accuracy.
Although, it can be argued that a defender's first port of call is defence and stats-wise he has generally stayed consistent in that area, with the 2023-24 season being a standout in tackles, duels and stopping attackers from getting through.
Will pull of Liverpool keep Robertson at Anfield?published at 12:53 BST 17 June
12:53 BST 17 June
Robertson has had a very successful stint on Merseyside since joining from Hull City in 2017, and has a year left on his deal.
He has won everything, adding a second league title last season as Arne Slot's side comfortably claimed the Premier League. Robertson was still a big part of that, starting 33 of 38 games.
And though some fans might be ready to move on, at 31 the defender is willing to fight for his place.
"I'm not getting any younger - I can't change my age - but I still believe I've got a lot to give," Robertson told BBC Sport Scotland while on international duty last week.
"I still believe I have a hell of a lot to give for however many years I can keep going.
"My body feels good at the minute. I can't tell you how I'll feel at 33 or 34, but I can tell you, at 31, I feel excellent."
With his family settled in the city and his place as a club legend seemingly assured, moving away would be a big change.
Plus Robertson will probably have taken note of the acrimony around Trent Alexander-Arnold's recent exit for Real Madrid.
Those situations are not directly comparable given Alexander-Arnold is a local boy and academy product, who at 26 potentially has his peak years in front of him, and it was his departure on a free transfer that particularly rankled with many.
Nonetheless, whether Robertson is first choice or not at Liverpool next season, the club will have a big pull - especially given they would arguably want him to stay and compete with Kerkez for a starting berth across a long season on several fronts.
Sell Nunez, buy Alvarez - fans on transferspublished at 12:52 BST 17 June

As the transfer window is now open again until 1 September, we asked for you to tell us one player you want to bring to Liverpool and one player you want the club to sell.
Here are some of your comments:
Billy: I think we should sell Darwin and break the bank again for a world class striker like Julian Alvarez.
Ken: Sell Robertson. Sadly he is no longer the best fit for our ambitious plans. I would buy Alexander Isak - he is a classic number nine.
Ian: The obvious player to sell is Nunez because he has been an expensive flop and instead of searching through all the overpriced foreign strikers why don't Liverpool snap up Ollie Watkins from Aston Villa, he would be a perfect fit.
Jim: Sell Alisson. Mamardashvili is good enough for a team that won't often require a last line of defence. Cash in now, get the Saudi money. Buy Branthwaite. Liverpool's central defenders are always on the edge of injuries that rule them out. This is where the Saudi money gets reinvested in a top player to feature for the next five years.
Richard: Sorry Darwin, you haven't evolved into the player we all hoped you would. Nunez out, Julian Alvarez in!
Huw: Sell Jota - not scoring enough and is missing easy chances too often. Buy Jorrel Hato. Great talent who has a good future. Would love to see him play for us.

'Everything about him screams success'published at 12:46 BST 16 June

In Florian Wirtz, Liverpool have got "as close to a guarantee as you can get" that a player will be a success in the Premier League, says BBC Sport senior football correspondent Sami Mokbel.
It was reported on Friday that the Reds have agreed a £116m deal to sign Germany attacking midfielder Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen, with the initial £100m fee a club record.
The 22-year-old made his debut for Leverkusen at the age of 17, scoring 57 goals in 197 games for the club, and helped them win the Bundesliga for the first time in 2024.
"He seems to have everything to cope with the rigors of European football," Mokbel told BBC Radio Merseyside.
"He might be quite short, but he looks strong, his touch is beautiful, he is great in transition, he takes the ball on the half turn, everything about him screams success - he will be a success in English football.
"There is never a guarantee with these things, you are spending a lot of money but there is never a cast-iron guarantee that a player from abroad with adapt to Premier League football.
"What I think Liverpool have got with Florian Wirtz is as close to a guarantee as you can get that a player will adapt to play in England and be a success. I think he is that good."
Wirtz is already one of the Bundesliga's top performers at the age of 22, largely operating as a number 10 - a dynamic playmaker blessed with pace, awareness and the ability to make clever decisions at high speed.
He was the most effective dribbler of all Bundesliga players last season, both in terms of volume and accuracy while carrying the ball.
Twenty-three of his 31 Bundesliga appearances in 2024-25 came in an attacking midfield/number 10 berth, although he does tend to drift towards the left wing.
"His best position, and the position that has been earmarked him for him in talks with Arne Slot, is that number 10 central role," German football expert Raphael Honigstein told BBC Radio 5 Live.
"In a slightly reshuffled Liverpool, more Dutch and more 'Arne Slot' team.
"He will be the fulcrum in attack. A player who can pick up spaces between the lines, has an eye for the killer ball but never loses sight of the goal. He can score goals himself and is very tenacious.
"A very modern number 10 and a player a lot of clubs wanted."
Would Atletico appeal to Robertson?published at 09:22 BST 16 June

If Milos Kerkez does join and bumps Andy Robertson down the pecking order, a switch to another Premier League club cannot be ruled out.
However, with Atletico prioritising him as their left-back target this summer, a move outside of the UK for the first time is on the table.
Robertson was asked about the benefits of playing abroad while on international duty last week, in reference to Scotland team-mates Billy Gilmour and Scott McTominay, who won Serie A in their first season at Napoli.
"When these players play abroad they see a different way of playing and lifestyle," he said. "That can only help.
"Young lads coming through might now be thinking 'I want to go and try that'. That's credit to those lads stepping out of their comfort zone."
It will not have escaped Robertson's notice just how much of a hero McTominay now is in Naples after leading them to the Scudetto, while being named the league's best player.
No move guarantees success, but with Serie A and La Liga often described as a slightly slower pace week-to-week than the Premier League, a move abroad at 31 might give Robertson more years at the top.

'He won't believe how adored he will be' - Aldridge on Wirtzpublished at 09:05 BST 14 June

Former Liverpool striker John Aldridge thinks new signing Florian Wirtz is a "special talent" and the German's "flexibility" will be a huge asset to Arne Slot's side.
"We've known for some time what a prospect he is. And he's shown he's well adept in the Bundesliga and he's got massive potential to do the same in the Premier League. It's a bit tougher but he's a special talent," he told BBC Radio 5 Live.
"He's a bit flamboyant and can get himself out of tricky situations but he's very game as well and he doesn't shy away from any tackles. He's very creative and he's got an eye for a goal, which are all the trademarks of exactly what we [Liverpool] need to make us a better team.
"It gives the manager options because he is very flexible. He can play in a few positions and he can actually play as a centre-forward, like a Roberto Firmino type. He could play there at a push but I don't think we've actually bought him for that - the flexibility he will give us in midfield will be excellent."
The 22-year-old helped Bayer Leverkusen secure the Bundesliga title in 2024 and go a full domestic season unbeaten.
Liverpool themselves won a record-equalling 20th top-flight title last season, and Aldridge believes the addition of Wirtz is one with a view to maintaining success.
"I wouldn't see him as Mo Salah's replacement. I just think it's to make us better for next year and go on to retain the title because it's always hard," Aldridge said.
"You've got to give Manchester City credit for doing it in the last few years. To be fair to Arne [Slot] he's won it with another man's tools, with Jurgen's tools. It was just [Federico] Chiesa who came in and he didn't play an awful lot so the manager can go out now and get the type of players that fit the bill.
"You want to get off to a good start don't you? Even if he doesn't, it will certainly happen for a player of his ilk. The crowd will love him and once he starts creating and scoring goals like Salah, he won't believe how adored he will be."
Your biggest and most exciting Liverpool signingspublished at 09:05 BST 14 June

Ahead of Florian Wirtz's imminent arrival at Anfield, we have been asking you about other historic Liverpool transfers.
Here are some of the signings you said you were most excited for:
Mark: Paul Ince. All through the 90's, the conventional wisdom was that Evans' talented yet fragile team simply needed some experience and bite in midfield. However, the barren years continued.
Cal: Robbie Keane goes under the radar a bit but he should have been a quality signing! Alberto Aquilani was another who had a big hype and expectation to replace Alonso (but again didn't work out).
James: Concerningly, hype and excitement doesn't always lead to a lengthy and successful relationship - Nicolas Anelka, Fernando Morientes and Jari Litmanen come to mind. All three showed moments of brilliance (particularly the latter), but none fulfilled their promise.
And as for whether Wirtz is the biggest signing in Liverpool's history, you said:
Paul: I'm sorry but you will be very hard pressed to find a greater signing in any club's history than a Mr Kenny Dalglish in August 1977 from Celtic.
Tim: Virgil was our biggest signing. The team built around him and is growing.
Graham: Simple - Keegan, Toshack and King Kenny. Florian has targets all there in front of him.
Suarez 'so happy for Liverpool' after title winpublished at 20:13 BST 13 June

Luis Suarez came close to firing Liverpool to the Premier League title but the side under Brendan Rodgers could not get the job done.
Remember the Uruguayan's tears after the 3-3 draw at Crystal Palace?
Now 38 years old, the striker is plying his trade alongside Lionel Messi at Inter Miami as they gear up for Saturday's opening game of the Club World Cup against Al Ahly (kick-off Sunday 01:00 BST).
Suarez spoke to the media in the build-up to the game and paid tribute to his former side for their triumph last season.
"I'm so happy for Liverpool," he said. "They did really well the last few years. To win the Premier League after a few years is so nice for them."
Meanwhile, Suarez also spoke about compatriot Darwin Nunez who has struggled to fire at Anfield since joining for £64m from Benfica in 2022.
Despite winning the title, Nunez scored only five league goals in 30 games and his future at the club is not assured.
"Every time, I try to help him but his decision is for himself," said Suarez. "He knows what he wants from football and what he wants for his future and his family."
On Friday, Arne Slot's side agreed a club-record £116m deal to sign Florian Wirtz and Suarez added the Germany attacking midfielder has done "really well" at Bayer Leverkusen.
'Money, excitement, prestige' - is Wirtz 'biggest signing in Liverpool's history'?published at 16:35 BST 13 June

Securing Florian Wirtz on the back of winning the Premier League? It doesn't get any bigger.
This is probably the biggest signing in Liverpool's history. The money, the excitement, the prestige.
I was incredibly excited for the Thiago Alcantara signing, right after he was man of the match in the Champions League final for Bayern Munich. But in truth, he was past his best due to injuries and there was a reason the Germans were allowing him an exit. What a beautiful footballer to watch, though.
Fernando Torres was a big name when we bought him, but not as recognised as Wirtz on the big stage. Torres made a name for himself at Liverpool, while Wirtz is already a two-time Bundesliga Player of the Year.
Other recent greats like Luis Suarez, Mo Salah and Sadio Mane were highly rated before their arrivals, but not superstars - and were purchased at normal prices.
At £100m, potentially reaching £116m, the Wirtz deal is mega-money. It is the kind of money I never thought Liverpool would spend under FSG's tenure, if I'm honest.
But it shows that when the right player is available, they will press the button. They broke records at the time when they signed Alisson and Virgil van Dijk, remember. And if Wirtz has half the impact those two have had, it will be money will spent, too.
Liverpool's spine now looks jaw-dropping. Alisson in net, Virg and Ibou Konate at centre-back. Young Player of the Year Ryan Gravenberch with World Cup winner Alexis Mac Allister in midfield, and Wirtz in the number 10 role.
The question now is with Darwin Nunez's future at the club uncertain, will the Reds go big again on a centre-forward? I think they just might.
So, do you think Wirtz is the biggest signing in Liverpool's history? And what does it say about the club's current pulling power?
Wirtz the dribble king...published at 15:58 BST 13 June

Florian Wirtz has been one of the Bundesliga's most creative players in recent season, having racked up 44 goal contributions across the last two campaigns.
One reason for such a high output from midfield could be down to his 49.7% dribble success rate, which made him the most effective dribbler of all Bundesliga players in 2024-25, both in terms of volume and accuracy while carrying the ball.
Across the league, the data for the most dribbles attempted/completed reads:
Florian Wirtz - 165/82
Jamie Gittens - 160/77
Michael Olise - 143/72
Jamal Musiala - 135/72
The 31-cap Germany international was influential in Leverkusen's undefeated run to a historic first Bundesliga title in 2023-24, creating an unrivalled 70 chances from open play.
'Add quality from a position of strength' - McNultypublished at 13:08 BST 13 June

Liverpool's decision to spend £100m - and potentially £116m - on Florian Wirtz after being crowned champions is following the methods that served them well in the glory days of old.
The great Anfield figures of the past always insisted the way to sustain success was to add quality from a position of strength rather than chase expensive arrivals to cure weaknesses.
And Liverpool's position could not be much stronger after winning their 20th title.
It is also a vindication of the policy of keeping their powder dry financially last summer, when many supporters wanted Liverpool to go into the markets, especially after a deal for Real Sociedad's Martin Zubimendi collapsed.
Liverpool won the Premier League in Arne Slot's first season and now have the resources and pull to sign one of Europe's most sought after young stars.
It's got us thinking... which signing during the Premier League era has got Reds fans most excited?
We're not pretending this is a definitive list - you will have your own views - but we've come up with eight names, including Wirtz as we're assuming this deal gets over the line, that had the fanbase buzzing when Liverpool moved for them.
This isn't based on what they actually went on to achieve at Anfield, just the feeling when they arrived. And it's just a bit of fun.
So have a look through the list - which is in chronological order (with some honourable mentions at the end) - then you've got the chance to order them yourself as well as get in touch with your own thoughts.

Stan Collymore broke the British transfer record when Liverpool signed him for £8.5m in 1995. He scored 35 goals across two seasons at Anfield, forming a potent strike partnership with Robbie Fowler. In his first season, he scored five goals in Liverpool's FA Cup run, which ultimately ended in defeat by Manchester United in the final.
Collymore on joining Liverpool: "I didn't want to look back at my career and say I hadn't achieved as much as I might have done. That's one of the reasons I came here. I want to win things and I do believe I can do that sooner rather than later with Liverpool."
Harry Kewell turned down a move to arch rivals Manchester United and signed for Liverpool from Leeds United in 2003. Injuries hindered the Australian from reaching his full potential on Merseyside, but the winger still managed to win a Champions League and FA Cup in his five seasons at Anfield. He scored 16 goals in 139 appearances for the Reds.
Reds boss Gerrard Houlier on signing Kewell: "We had spoken about bringing in players who would have the fans on the edge of their seats and I can't think of a better description for the qualities that Harry will bring to Anfield."
Robbie Fowler's romantic return to Liverpool in 2006 saw him score 12 goals across a second coming that lasted one and a half seasons. Reds fans inside Anfield made it abundantly clear about how excited they were for Fowler's return, displaying a sign that read "Fowler. God. 11. Welcome back to heaven" at his first game back against Birmingham City.
Fowler, who had left Anfield for Leeds in 2001, said on his return: "Leaving was probably one of my biggest regrets I have had in football. I'm chuffed to bits. I mean, I can't really believe it's happened again, so I'm ecstatic to be honest."
Fernando Torres signed from Atletico Madrid for a then club record £20m in 2007. 'El Nino' won the club's player of the year in his debut campaign, and scored an impressive 81 goals in 142 outings for the Reds before breaking the British transfer record with a £50m move to rivals Chelsea in 2011.
Abraham Garcia, who coached Fernando Torres at junior level: "He'll probably become world famous. Directness, pace, power, excellent in the air and the mindset of a born winner make Fernando an extraordinary player."

Joe Cole joined on a free transfer from Chelsea in the summer of 2010 making him Roy Hodgson's first signing at the club. There was lots of buzz after Liverpool landed the 28-year-old England star ahead of Arsenal and Tottenham, but his Premier League debut lasted just 45 minutes before he was sent off for a poor challenge against the Gunners, and it didn't get much better from there. Cole was sent out on loan and then eventually sold in January 2013, after making just 26 appearances and scoring three goals for the Reds.
Steven Gerrard on Cole: "Messi can do some amazing things - but anything he can do, Joe can do as well, if not better."
Virgil van Dijk joined in January 2018 from Southampton and remains Liverpool's most expensive transfer at £75m. He reached back-to-back Champions League finals in his first one and a half seasons, winning it at the second time of asking. The Dutch colossus has since added two Premier League titles, an FA Cup, two League Cups and the Club World Cup to his cabinet and took the captain's armband in 2023.
David Moss, the talent scout who brought Van Dijk to Celtic, said : "I used to say to Premier League clubs: 'Van Dijk is a man playing in a playground against kids, he stands out so much. He's 6ft 4in, can ping it from one end of the field to the other, can head it, scores goals, is quick … he's got everything.' And they'd still go and buy someone else. I'd despair."
Thiago Alcantara left Bayern Munich for a £20m move to Liverpool in 2020 for what ended up being a patchy, injury-ridden spell. In four years on Merseyside, the Barcelona academy graduate made 98 appearances, scored three goals and won one FA Cup.
Former Bayern manager Hansi Flick said: "Thiago is an extraordinary player and was very important for us. It was very emotional as we said goodbye. I can only congratulate Liverpool as they got a great player and especially a great person."
As for likely £114m recruit Wirtz, he has come back from an anterior cruciate ligament injury suffered in 2022 to become a key part of Leverkusen's domestic double under former Red Xabi Alonso in 2023-24. With 23 goal contributions that campaign, he was named the Bundesliga's player of the season.
Alonso said: "Why is Messi so good? Because he knows how and when to play simple passes. Messi says: 'You're in a better position? Here, there you have the ball!' It's not always about making the most brilliant move, but the best and smartest. Florian can do that. That's why he's so good."
Honourable mentions:
Now as we said, this is by no means a scientific list and there were other names who could have made the eight - including (but not limited to) Karl-Heinz-Riedle, Markus Babbel, Luis Suarez, Naby Keita, Alisson, Darwin Nunez... and yes, even El-Hadji-Diouf, who arrived with huge hype after the 2002 World Cup.
'A no-brainer for Liverpool to bring in this level of talent'published at 08:38 BST 13 June

Hungarian football expert Bence Bocsak says Liverpool see new signing Armin Pecsi as a "potential future number one goalkeeper".
Pecsi, a nominee for the 2025 Golden Boy award, made 30 appearances for Puskas Akademia last season as they finished second in the Hungarian top flight, before the 20-year-old's move to Anfield was confirmed last week.
"You only have to look at the Golden Boy nominations to see how big a prospect he is," Bocsak told BBC Radio Merseyside's Chris Coughlin.
"It's a no-brainer for Liverpool if you can bring in this level of talent. When you look at his stats, he's prevented 14.33 goals during the whole of last season - remarkable statistics for a goalkeeper. If you can bring him in for this amount of money, it is a really good deal for Liverpool.
"He's still only 20 years old. Everyone I've spoken to about him has spoken really highly of his character and mentality."
Despite the departure of Reds number two goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher this summer, Valencia's Giorgi Mamardashvili will join the club in July to compete for the number one shirt with established first choice Alisson.
"It will be a big change going from being first choice at one of the biggest clubs in Hungary to probably being third choice at Liverpool and playing for the under-21s, but I think it is a challenge he's very much prepared for," Bocsak added.
"Mentally he knows he's in it for the long term - it is a big picture move for him. I think £1.5m in this modern era is nothing for any player, let alone a 20-year-old who is this highly rated.
"Liverpool have done really well because there were some other big clubs sniffing about. There were a lot of big European clubs interested but Pecsi chose Liverpool because he really liked what they sold him and, from what I understand, they do see him as a potential future number one goalkeeper."

'It is frightening for teams around them'published at 14:47 BST 12 June

Signing Florian Wirtz for such a large fee I feel would mark a sea change for Liverpool.
Fans would argue that they rarely invest big money into signings and even the Mohamed Salah contract situation came down to salary. It is stark if you think how long that and Virgil van Dijk's deal took to resolve - it was an issue of finances.
With Trent Alexander-Arnold going, if they had lost all three, that would have been most of the spine of the team gone, so it is great that they are showing the ambition after winning the league to really kick on and establish themselves as a side to compete for the title year on year.
After they they won the title five years ago, they did not really push on from that. They did not really show the ambition they probably should have in order to carry on winning or at least competing up there every year.
It looks like there has been a shift in their approach to it.
Losing Alexander-Arnold and what he brings creatively to the side - with his passes, the way he plays and his goals - is still a concern, but in Wirtz they are bringing in a quality player.
There will be big pressure as a player when you come in with such a big price tag and an expectation to settle in straight away, but the players around him will be buzzing to see him come in and their experience will help him.
We said when Jurgen Klopp left that he left a very good team. They were well established as a collective and now it is about how you stick those pieces in together.
It might look a little bit different next season, but the Liverpool side appear stronger than ever and it is frightening for teams around them.
Fans should be excited by this shift at the club and in the ambition they are showing again.
