Liverpool will hope Pep Guardiola risk backfires as Didi Hamann takes aim at Gary Neville

Your Liverpool morning headlines for Monday, July 4

Pep Guardiola might be quietly taking major Man City risk that Liverpool will hope backfires

The summer break can be a time for reflection on the season that has just gone. In Liverpool 's case, they were two results away from becoming the best side in British football history. However, it wasn't to be and Jurgen Klopp will try again to make his side immortals.

As Liverpool proved in their Premier League winning season of 2019/20, adding loads of players to an already successful squad isn't everything it is cracked up to be and keeping the ship steady is sometimes the most favourable thing at the time.

One club where things may seem a little more uncertain than usual is Premier League champions Manchester City. With potentially three key members of their squad leaving, could we be seeing something of a rebuild at the Etihad by Pep Guardiola?

City looked to be as strong as ever, but rumours began to surface of exits and, by the looks of things, those rumours could soon become reality. The English champions could lose Gabriel Jesus, Raheem Sterling and Bernardo Silva -all in the same window.

Didi Hamann fires back at Gary Neville over Mohamed Salah claim

Former Liverpool midfielder Didi Hamann has hit out at claims by Gary Neville insisting Mohamed Salah 'played' Liverpool during contract negotiations.

Shortly after Salah's contract was announced on Friday evening, former Manchester United defender Nevile took to Twitter to seemingly aim a dig at the Reds. "Salah has played them hasn't he," the now Sky Sports pundit Tweeted with a series of laughing emojis.

Nevile has come under plenty of fire for his bizarre take on the news Salah has extended his stay on Merseyside, in what can only have been tweeted in a tongue-in-cheek tone, and now Hamann has been the latest to call out the strange claim.
