Liverpool reach agreement with Ajax over "one of the GREATEST talents in Europe"
Ajax reach agreement for Vitezslav Jaros
Jaros kept a clean sheet on that occasion but in truth a decisive breakthrough into the first team on Merseyside appears unlikely.
Although Caoimhin Kelleher is no longer standing in his way, Jaros has had to watch as both Giorgi Mamardashvili and Armin Pecsi come into the club this summer.

Accordingly the goalkeeper will have to strike out in search of first-team football next season and an agreement has now been reached over a loan deal to Heitinga's Ajax.
That's according to a new report in De Telegraaf, which claims the deal will be made official once Jaros completes a medical on either Tuesday or Wednesday this week.

Jaros: "One of the greatest goalkeeping talents in Europe"
Furthermore, the report states that Jaros 'is seen as one of the greatest goalkeeping talents in Europe.'
It will be a straight loan for the shot-stopper, who is also being tipped to sign an extension to a contract that currently expires in 2026.

It remains to be seen what the future holds for Jaros, who initially joined the Reds as a youth from Slavia Prague back in 2017.
He has since experienced loans at St Patrick's Athletic, Notts County, Stockport and Sturm Graz - where he won the Austrian league and cup double.

Morton looks to England to repair damaged confidence
Tyler Morton is repairing his confidence with the England Under-21s after the toughest season of his career. The Liverpool midfielder has helped the Young Lions reach the semi-finals of Euro 2025 after Saturday's 3-1 win over Spain. Advertisement Morton, though, will miss Wednesday's meeting with the Netherlands in Bratislava after collecting his second yellow card of the tournament. International success would come off the back of a frustrating campaign for the 22-year-old, who did not make a Premier League appearance as Liverpool won the title. He was restricted to just five appearances in cup competitions under Arne Slot. Morton said: "When you're not playing, your confidence gets shut down a little bit. So, it's nice to come back and play here and play with unbelievable footballers, unbelievable youngsters. "It's been the toughest season mentally for me. Obviously, I've coped with it very well because I've got good people around me, but it's been very tough. I think I've coped with it as well as I possibly could. Advertisement "I think when you're not playing as a footballer who's as hungry as I am, it does hurt. It's tough, especially when, in my opinion, I wanted to go out and I wanted to play and I wanted to go on loan and get my game time. "But having chatted with the manager, having to stay, it could have worked out a lot worse than it did. It probably could have worked out a lot better than it did." Under-21 and Liverpool team-mate Harvey Elliott made just two league starts last season - and has admitted he needs to consider his future at Anfield - while Jarell Quansah only started four league games. Liverpool opted to keep Morton after Middlesbrough had a bid rejected in February but he has kept an open mind about the campaign. Advertisement "Yes, the minutes have been very limited for all of us youngsters this year," he said. "But there's different playing styles with different managers. Yes, it's been a learning season. I think you've got to have these types of seasons where you're trying to learn."

Liverpool squad now BREAKS Premier League rules
Liverpool's squad now officially breaks Premier League rules. The club must act if they're to compete next season. Liverpool completed the signing of Florian Wirtz on Friday. It's the biggest arrival in the Reds' history, with a club-record £100m fee. Advertisement But it's also just the biggest in that this is arguably the first time that one of the world's most in-demand players signed for Liverpool. Pretty much every single club wanted Wirtz and it was fully expected that Bayern Munich would get him. Instead, Liverpool shocked everyone and completed a deal. We can't wait to see what he brings to the team but there is some work to do. Wirtz's arrival boosts the squad numbers, too, after a couple of sales. However, that's created a problem. Liverpool squad breaks Premier League rules As pointed out my Michael Reid on Twitter, Liverpool's current squad breaks Premier League homegrown rules. The Reds are only allowed 17 players developed outside of England and Wales in their 25-man squad of registered players. Advertisement But Wirtz, Frimpong, and the delayed arrival of Giorgi Mamardashvili gives Liverpool 18. They cannot register all of their non-homegrown players as things stand. In fact, even after selling (or simply not registering) one of them, the Reds will still be hamstrung by the rule. They won't be able to add any more, after all, and must look for homegrown talents. Looking at the list here, it's clear that Calvin Ramsay won't be a part of the first-team squad. So that's at least going to meet the limit. But the fact that Jarell Quansah is set to join Bayer Leverkusen leaves Liverpool a centre-back short. They won't be able to replace him with a non-homegrown player as things stand - hence the links to Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi. Now, Liverpool should move on other players this summer to help. Federio Chiesa, Darwin Nunez and Andy Robertson are all linked away. Luis Diaz could depart, too.

Florian Wirtz deal forces €80m forward to Saudi Arabia
Diaz tipped for Liverpool exit Although Wirtz is an attacking midfielder by trade, the player tends to drift left. That will lessen the need for an out-and-out wide man like Diaz. Combine the Wirtz deal with the arrival of Milos Kerkez - an attack-minded left-back - and you can see how Diaz might be squeezed out of Arne Slot's first-team plans. Advertisement And there's also Diaz's contract to consider. The Colombia international is out of contract in 2027, currently earning a reported £55k per week. Following his excellent campaign, Diaz might feel like he's entitled to a bumper pay rise. So far however, sporting director Richard Hughes has refused to sanction it. With Diaz's terms ticking down, it means Liverpool might well be tempted to cash in if a decent offer arrives. It's clear that Barcelona won't come up with the requisite amount - said to be €80m - which leaves Saudi Arabian sides in the equation. © IMAGO Liverpool back away from Diaz talks Al-Nassr are reportedly keen on Diaz and it's likely that the player ends up in the Saudi Pro League as soon as this summer. That's according to a new report from TBR Football - which suggests Liverpool have WALKED AWAY from Diaz's contract talks. Advertisement 'Liverpool have backed away from contract talks with Diaz,' the report reads. 'The Colombian will move to Saudi Arabia.' Of the left-wing position: "Wirtz will end up playing there," the report reads. They've got Gakpo as well." Trent Alexander-Arnold and Caoimhin Kelleher have already departed while Jarell Quansah is soon expected to go.
