Liverpool fans may be craving more incoming signings this week, but exit news has dominated Tuesday’s headlines.
Trio set for Liverpool loan exits
Apologies, but today’s main story isn’t about Federico Chiesa officially becoming a Red!
Instead, three different Liverpool youngsters – Stefan Bajcetic, Tyler Morton and Owen Beck – appear to be heading off on loan.
Bajcetic is set for a reunion with Pep Lijnders at RB Salzburg, with talks now reportedly at an “advanced stage.”
Then there’s Morton, who having shone on loan at Hull last season, has received a more glamorous offer from Xabi Alonso’s Bayer Leverkusen.
Finally, The Athletic‘s James Pearce reports that Beck has agreed to move to Championship side Blackburn, who Morton impressed at in 2022/23.
Bajcetic’s exit will raise the most eyebrows, considering a No. 6 hasn’t been signed, but it could still be best for his development following his injury problems.

Liverpool FC: On this day
Today’s ‘On This Day’ is a short trip down memory lane back to 2022, when Liverpool romped to a 9-0 victory at home to Bournemouth.
It remains the joint-biggest winning margin in Premier League history, along with United’s 9-0 win over Ipswich at Old Trafford in 1995.
Roberto Firmino and Luis Diaz scored twice at Anfield, and there were also goals for Harvey Elliott, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Virgil van Dijk and Fabio Carvalho, not to mention a Chris Mepham own goal.
A record-breaking 10-0 win at United on Sunday would be nice – we’re allowed to dream!
