Arne Slot leaves Luis Diaz out of AC Milan friendly due to ongoing speculation
Liverpool head coach Arne Slot left Luis Diaz out of their 4-2 friendly defeat to AC Milan in Hong Kong due to ongoing speculation about his future. Bayern Munich are understood to have reopened dialogue with the Premier League champions, having had an initial offer of 67.5million euros (£59m) dismissed last week. Liverpool have maintained they do not want to sell the forward – who has also attracted interest from Barcelona – and the Bundesliga champions' bid was way below their own valuation of 100m euro (£87m) for an elite forward in the global market. Diaz turns 29 in January and has two years left on his current deal but has not yet had an offer of a new contract. 'In Lucho's (Diaz's) situation, there's a lot of rumours around him lately and I cannot go into that,' said Slot. 'He's training really well with us but we have decided for now not to play him yet. 'I'm used to talking to most of my players on a regular basis. I cannot comment much more about that.' Asked whether Diaz wanted to leave, Slot added: 'That is not the person to ask, me.' Striker Darwin Nunez, whose own future appears to lie away from Anfield, and midfielder Wataru Endo missed the game with minor fitness issues. Club-record signing Florian Wirtz made his first start as a false nine, with latest signing Hugo Ekitike left out of the squad, having only arrived on Thursday after completing his arrival in a £79m deal on Wednesday. Slot played two different starting XIs in each half, with midfielder Ryan Gravenberch and left-back Kostas Tsimikas both required to fill a centre-back role after Joe Gomez returned home for treatment on an Achilles injury. 'We thought it was better to assess it back in England and for him to work on him to come back to the team, probably in more ideal circumstances for him,' added Slot, who denied Gomez's absence left him dangerously-short in the position after selling Jarrell Quansah to Bayer Leverkusen. 'I don't think we have a concern at centre-back. I think Ryan (Gravenberch) showed today that he can play in that position. He did it last season as well. 'Although we all know we favour him as a number six, Wata (Endo) can play there. Joe Gomez only has a minor injury, he has been good for us last season as well. 'We have enough options left but it's true that Jarell Quansah left and we haven't replaced him yet.' Dominik Szoboszlai and Cody Gakpo scored the goals for Liverpool, who paid tribute to forward Diogo Jota and his brother Andre Silva after their deaths in a car crash earlier this month. Players wore shirts bearing a logo with the Portugal international's name and number and a heart, and Sir Kenny Dalglish laid a wreath in front of supporters who held up a DJ 20 mosaic.

Gabby Logan's huge net worth, new job with BBC, rugby ace son and sport star husband
Gabby Logan is set to host the BBC's coverage of the Women's Euro 2025 final between England and Spain on Sunday, but what do we know about the legendary sports presenter away from the screens? Gabby Logan is set to provide coverage for the highly anticipated Women's Euro 2025 final between England and Spain on Sunday. The Lionesses stamped their ticket to St. Jakob-Park in heroic fashion on Tuesday with a last-minute 2-1 win over Italy. Barbara Bonansea opened the scoring for Le Azzurre before a Michelle Agyemang strike sent the game to extra time. Chloe Kelly later netted a rebound from her missed spot kick to win the tie for England. Spain, meanwhile, stamped their own place in Sunday's final with a 1-0 win over Germany on Wednesday. Logan will host coverage of the fixture between England and Spain for the BBC, as the Lionesses look to defend their crown from three years ago. But what do we know about the legendary host both on and off screen? Here, Mirror Football breaks it down... Gabby Logan's substantial net worth Since launching her broadcasting career in 1992, Logan has held some prestigious positions and covered many flagship events for several broadcasters. She teamed up with Sky Sports in 1996, at a time when the industry was dominated by males, quickly becoming a recognisable face of British TV. She was selected as the host of Sport Relief in 2004 and joined the BBC permanently. In the years since, the 52-year-old has hosted her own morning show on BBC Radio 5 Live, worked on Final Score, Inside Sport, the Invictus Games, MOTD Six Nations, and The One Show, and has also had the privilege of covering the 2022 World Cup and 2024 Olympics in Paris. As a result of her professional endeavours, Logan is estimated to have racked up a significant fortune of around £4million, making her the highest female earner in the world of sports journalism. As per Sportcasting via SPORTbible, Logan also ranked seventh in a list of Britain's highest-earning sports presenters and pundits last year, with a salary of £210,000. A new role with the BBC As Gary Lineker announced that 2024/25 would be his final Premier League season at the helm of Match of the Day, the BBC was quick to rethink the set-up of their flagship football highlights show. And as a result, top chiefs decided not to replace Lineker, who had held tenure since 1999, with just one fresh face, but with three. For 2025/26, Logan will join Mark Chapman and Kelly Cates to front the programme, a move that she believes will give the show a completely different edge. Speaking about her new role, she said: "I think what's interesting is that although we're sharing the role, we won't actually be working together on Match of the Day. "It's really great to share it because we bring different experiences and different interests within the game. We bring different ways of broadcasting and that will mean our pundits are kept on their toes and share different kinds of analysis." It is reported that Logan, Chapman and Cates will split presenting duties on Match of the Day, MOTD 2 and MOTD: Champions League. It is the first time in history that three presenters will share the role. A sporting husband and a rugby star son Away from the screens, Logan has been married to rugby union star Kenny Logan since 2001, with the two striking up a romance after meeting in a bar in Chelsea. During his career as a winger, Kenny won three English Premierships with Wasps RFC and a Scottish Premiership title with Stirling County. He also represented his nation of Scotland on 70 occasions, racking up 220 points before retiring in 2004. The two welcomed twins with one another in 2005 in the form of Reuben and Lois. And Reuben has ultimately gone on to follow in his father's footsteps in rugby union as a career choice, with the 19-year-old kicking off his career as a flanker with Wasps at academy level in 2023. A move to Northampton Saints ensued the same year, where he remains to this day, although he spent last season on loan with Cambridge. However, it appears as though the Scotland U20 star will be on the move once more ahead of 2025/26, with Sale Sharks announcing the acquisition of the talent back in April. Speaking about the move, he said: "This is a great opportunity for me to play with and learn from some fantastic coaches and players – like the Curry brothers – who play in my position."
