Liverpool confirm pre season fixtures and date as The Reds confirm two games in Germany as part of 2023 pre-season...

Jurgen Klopp will need to regroup and refresh for next campaign to once again get the club to compete for major honours.

But to do that, Liverpool will need a mixture of a properly prepared pre-season and shrewd recruitment.

They will face fellow Premier League side Leicester City before taking on European heavyweights Bayern Munich.

July 19: Karlsruher SC vs Liverpool – Wildparkstadion, Karlsruhe, Germany

July 30: Liverpool vs Leicester – The National Stadium, Kallang, Singapore

August 2: Liverpool vs Bayern Munich – The National Stadium, Kallang, Singapore

Klopp’s need for a midfield rebuild is well documented, with the Anfield outfit targeting the No.6 and No.8 positions for several years.

Liverpool have ended their interest in Jude Bellingham, but Brighton star Alexis Mac Allister is among the new targets.

Liverpool are well stocked for firepower in attack but another central defender is an option following their struggles at the back last term.

They could also be in the market for a new backup goalkeeper for Alisson but that will only depend on any potential exits this summer.

The Merseysiders had a number of players out of contract the end of last season, with five players now having left on free transfers.

Roberto Firmino remains the most high profile of the outgoings, with Naby Keita, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and James Milner all exiting as well.

Liverpool did have an option to make Arthur Melo’s loan deal permanent however he has returned to Juventus.

The club may also face bids for number two goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher and out-of-favour defender Nathaniel Phillips.

Rhys Williams is another centre-back Liverpool will entertain offers for after his loan spell at Blackpool was cut short in January.

The Reds have quite a straight forward summer in terms of new contracts, with all four mentioned above now released.

Adrian is in talks over a short-term extension while Liverpool have already tied down its key stars for the foreseeable future.

Mohamed Salah, Alisson Becker, Virgil van Dijk, Andrew Robertson, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Jordan Henderson have all signed long-term contracts in recent years.

This season alone Liverpool put youngsters Curtis Jones and Stefan Bajcetic on improved terms as a reward for their increased standing.

Academy stars Isaac Mabaya, Luke Chambers and Jarell Quansah have all penned new deals recently as well.
