On that note, let’s take a look at the latest Liverpool news and rumours as on August 14, 2021.
Atletico Madrid yet to receive an offer for Saul Niguez
Saul Niguez has been linked with a move to Liverpool, but Mundo Deportivo have claimed that the Reds have not made a bid for him yet. Saul has also attracted interest from Barcelona and Manchester United, but is set to feature in Atletico Madrid’s first game of the season.
The midfielder’s proposed move to Barcelona collapsed earlier in the summer, which has handed Liverpool a boost. However, Liverpool have not made an approach for him, as Jurgen Klopp is happy with the club’s midfield options.
Jurgen Klopp not worried about Jordan Henderson’s Liverpool future
Jordan Henderson’s contract situation has been the subject of speculation over the last few weeks. The England international’s current deal runs until 2023, but his representatives want the club to offer him a better contract.
Reports claim Henderson might move should the club not offer him a long-term deal due to his age and injury record. Klopp, however, has said that he isn’t too worried about the situation and that the club will handle it.
Ben Davies set to join Sheffield United
Sheffield United are set to sign Ben Davies on a season-long loan deal. The Blades were desperate to add more squad depth as manager Slavisa Jokanovic made it clear they needed more bodies.
Davies’ return to the Championship will happen after he failed to make his competitive debut for Liverpool.
The former Preston man was signed by Liverpool in January this year as a backup. He has further fallen below the pecking order following the return of Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez and Joel Matip from injuries.
