Salah BOOST, Alisson's moment, Gordon TALKS - Liverpool FC news recap

Here’s our Liverpool FC news recap for Saturday, 29 June. The Reds saw a boost for Mohamed Salah and talks for Anthony Gordon.

Slot gets Salah wish

Arne Slot looks virtually certain to get positive news soon with Mo Salah looking very likely to be at Liverpool for the season kick-off.

The Liverpool Echo reports that Mohamed Salah is looking increasingly unlikely to be with Egypt for the Olympics later this year. The forward is certainly wanted by his country for the tournament but they require permission to call him up.

And it appears they won't get it. The Echo refers to a source with the Egyptian camp that says it's now '90% sure' that Salah won't be at the Olympics.

Alisson's brilliant save

Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker had social media talking after producing a brilliant moment for Brazil against Paraguay at Copa America 2024.

Alisson Becker has, somewhat bizarrely, come into criticism as a goalkeeper for Brazil. He's still their undisputed no.1 but there's a sense that he's just not good enough.

Owen issues Liverpool warning

Michael Owen has urged Liverpool to keep Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk at the club for as long as possible, warning that the Reds are merely a ‘decent’ team without the duo. 

The high-profile pair, along with Trent Alexander-Arnold, are out of contract at the end of next season with no progress so far on a potential new deal for either.

Salah, 32, has been a target for Saudi Arabian side Al-Ittihad for a year or so with the Anfield side fending off £150 million offer for the Egyptian king last summer.
