New friendly confirmed & Forest in £15m Neco talks – Latest Liverpool FC News

Another Liverpool friendly has been made official and Neco Williams looks to be edging closer to a £15 million exit. Here’s today’s news roundup.

 

Salzburg friendly official

After first being mentioned by the Times‘ Paul Joyce earlier this month, Liverpool have now made their pre-season friendly with Red Bull Salzburg official.

The match will be played in Austria on Wednesday, July 27, with kickoff set for 7pm (BST).

The Reds are now scheduled to play six matches before their Premier League campaign gets underway against Fulham on August 6.

July 4 – First day back at Kirkby
July 12Man United (Thailand), 2pm
July 15Crystal Palace (Singapore), 1.35pm
July 21 – RB Leipzig (Germany), 6.15pm

July 30Man City (Community Shield), 5pm
July 31 – Strasbourg (Anfield), 7.30pm
August 6Premier League starts – Fulham (A), 12.30pm

There may still be more pre-season matches to be confirmed, but that’s starting to look unlikely given what is already a packed schedule for the Reds.
