Three of Arne Slot‘s assistants have had their Liverpool departures officially confirmed, while Mo Salah‘s agent has shared a statement about the Egyptian’s “sensitive future plans.”
Mo Salah’s agent shares statement on player’s future
Despite having announced his Liverpool exit more 11 weeks ago, we are still none the wiser as to where Salah will be playing his football come the start of next season.
As you would expect, there have been rumours aplenty, with Juventus, Fenerbahce and the Saudi Pro League all linked with the 33-year-old.

However, Salah has remained tight-lipped when discussing his future. His agent, Ramy Abbas Issa, has now said:
“Mohamed is doing perfectly fine and neither he nor I prefer to discuss sensitive future plans with people not involved in them.
“Both he and I are very private about these things. Yes, people may ask and they may get a standard polite response but that’s about it.”
With Salah currently at the World Cup, we are unlikely to hear anything concrete about his next club until after Egypt have left North America.

• Rio Ngumoha scored what was described as a ‘breathtaking’ long-range goal for England in a behind-closed-doors 6-0 win over Miami United – wonder if Thomas Tuchel is regretting not having him in the squad?!
• PSG are “not entirely opposed to a sale” of French winger Bradley Barcola, say L’Equipe – it is widely reported that Liverpool are interested in the 23-year-old
• The *Liverpool Echo*‘s Paul Gorst wrote that young defender Amara Nallo is set for a loan move next season after dropping down the academy’s pecking order

Wataru Endo sadly won’t be in action for Japan due to injury, but there will still be seven Liverpool players representing their countries at the World Cup.
Sam Millne provides a complete guide to the tournament from a Liverpool supporter’s perspective:
“There are five key games to bookmark for the group stages, beginning on June 14 as Liverpool’s Dutch contingent face Japan.
“Their second game is also one to watch, as the Netherlands come up against Sweden and Isak on June 20. Kicking off three hours later will be Wirtz, as he faces the Ivory Coast with Germany in Toronto.
“The final round of group games will see Scotland face Brazil on June 24, while Japan vs. Sweden will also be of note to Reds on June 26.”

Liverpool FC: On this day
??? Exaltado na Europa.
De férias na Grécia, Philippe Coutinho parou o restaurante em que estava ao ser reconhecido e muito festejado por torcedores que cantaram “You’ll never walk alone” (Você nunca caminhará sozinho), música símbolo do Liverpool, onde Coutinho brilhou na… pic.twitter.com/Ht9UbEduqo

It was on June 12, 1992 that Philippe Coutinho was born in Rio de Janeiro.
Now 34 years old, Coutinho is without a club after leaving Vasco de Gama in February, where he spent eight months following his departure from Aston Villa.
Coutinho mightn’t be remembered particularly fondly due to the manner of his exit – though it worked out for Liverpool in the end – but he still holds a special place for the Reds.
The Brazilian was recently filmed singing You’ll Never Walk Alone while on holiday in Greece!
