Arne Slot's stance on 8 players leaving Liverpool once Hugo Ekitike transfer is completed
Liverpool's summer spend is set to hit almost £300m but now Arne Slot's squad is expected to be trimmed with several fringe figures near exits Liverpool are acclimatising in Asia ahead of their first pre-season friendly against AC Milan on Saturday while their latest sensational transfer nears completion as Hugo Ekitike jets into London for a medical ahead of a £79m move. That will take their summer spend to date to almost the £300m mark as the Anfield club look to build a squad capable of retaining the Premier League title but it also means Arne Slot is now expected to bid farewell to a number of players before the campaign gets underway. Luiz Diaz's future remains perhaps most intriguing. Bayern Munich have already a bid of about £60m rejected and the Colombia forward would like to explore an opportunity elsewhere. And while Liverpool 's stance is that he is not for sale, with Diaz continuing to train with the first team as normal, they are bracing for an improved bid from the Bundesliga champions. The club are open to offers for misfit Darwin Nunez, however, after two seasons in which he failed to live up to his £85m fee. Atletico Madrid appear to have quietened their interest with Liverpool keen to hold out for £70m but there remains the potential of a big money switch to Saudi Arabia for the Uruguay international England Under-21 midfielder Harvey Elliott, who won player of the tournament at last month's Euros, is another who could depart if the right offer is made having found it difficult to earn sustained minutes last season. He spoke candidly during the title winning campaign for his desire to play more often and had asked Slot what he needed to do to get a greater look in. And, according to a report from the Athletic, several other youngsters could be playing elsewhere this season. They say defensive midfielder Tyler Morton, 22, has interest from Premier League sides, while Ben Doak, Luca Stephenson and James McConnell could all be in line for season-long loan moves.

Ferguson not ruling out return to management
Barry Ferguson would "never rule out going back into management" and says he has already had "a few offers" since his spell as Rangers' interim head coach came to an end this 47-year-old former Rangers and Scotland captain took charge after Philippe Clement was sacked in February but was replaced with Russell Martin after a US-based takeover of the Scottish Premiership club.A 40% win rate in his 15 games in charge - 24% worse than the Belgian - did not help his cause, but Ferguson "thought we done pretty well" after he and assistants Neil McCann and Billy Dodds led their side to the Europa League quarter-finals."I'd never rule out going back into management," Ferguson told Go Radio in his first interview since his spell in charge ended. "I've had a few offers from Scotland, down south and abroad, but I just felt they weren't right. I'll take a bit of time out and get back to doing what I was doing previously."Ferguson will return to his club ambassador role at Ibrox but feels that "overall, I can look myself in the mirror" after his stint in the managerial hotseat."It was kind of bumpy at times," he said. "I knew that was going to be the case. When I took over, the players were very low and had suffered some difficult results."So it was about me coming in and trying to lift them with the staff I brought in alongside me."Ferguson says he "loved every minute" of his time at the helm and was just "thankful for the opportunity" he thought would never come despite his previous spells managing Clyde, Kelty Hearts and Alloa Athletic."There were results at Ibrox, the ones that stick out - Motherwell and Hibs - they were really disappointing," he said. "We had some brilliant times and some difficult times. "I had a brilliant three months, but that's finished with. My life is back to being nice and quiet again, which I'm quite happy with."Ferguson admitted that picking McCann, Dodds and former goalkeeper Allan McGregor as his backroom team led to "some feisty moments".However, he added: "I could have picked a number of people, but I wanted to go with people who would really challenge me as a staff. I like getting challenged."Certainly the staff that I picked gave me a few challenges."
