Several Liverpool players face an uncertain future this summer, including the oldest member of Arne Slot’s current squad.
This week, Liverpool confirmed that they have offered a new deal to Adrian, although it remains unclear whether the 37-year-old goalkeeper will accept the offer and stay for another year.
According to Mundo Deportivo, Adrian has been in talks with Real Betis in Spain about a possible return to his homeland. The veteran goalkeeper is reportedly keen on a second spell in Seville, so much so that he has put contract negotiations with Liverpool on hold.
Adrian’s last appearance for Liverpool was in the Community Shield against Manchester City nearly two years ago, so it came as a surprise to many supporters that he was offered a new contract. His previous deal expired at the end of the 2023/24 season.
The decision to offer Adrian a new contract may have been influenced by ongoing uncertainties over the futures of Liverpool’s other goalkeepers. Caoimhin Kelleher’s future remains unclear, and there have been reports of Saudi transfer interest in Alisson Becker. These factors likely prompted Liverpool’s hierarchy to consider retaining Adrian to avoid a potential goalkeeping shortage as they head into the new season.
As the summer transfer window progresses, Liverpool fans will be keenly watching to see how the situation with Adrian and the rest of the goalkeeping squad unfolds.
