Lijnders’ Move to Manchester City
– Former Liverpool Assistant Manager: Pep Lijnders, Jürgen Klopp’s long-serving assistant, is set to join Pep Guardiola’s coaching staff at Manchester City. Lijnders was let go by Red Bull Salzburg at the end of last year and has now agreed to join City’s backroom team.
– Potential Role: Lijnders is expected to contribute to training ground preparation and matchday strategy, bringing his tactical expertise to Manchester City.

Potential Players Affected
– 19-Year-Old Liverpool Star: There’s speculation that a young Liverpool player might join Manchester City, potentially reuniting with Lijnders. However, no official announcements have been made about which player might make the move.
– Tino Livramento: Another player being eyed for a potential transfer is Tino Livramento, although it’s unclear if this is related to Lijnders’ move.
Liverpool’s Transfer News
– Alexander Isak Transfer: Liverpool is reportedly preparing a new bid for Newcastle’s Alexander Isak, with a potential fee of £130 million. The transfer saga continues, with Newcastle demanding a significant fee for the Swedish striker.
– Other Signings: Liverpool has been active in the transfer market, signing players like Florian Wirtz, Hugo Ekitike, and Milos Kerkez. The Reds are expected to make more signings before the transfer window closes ¹ ².
