Relaxed atmosphere in the Liverpool camp after the clarification between Curtis Jones and Dominik Szoboszlai. According to The Athletic, which followed the team’s latest training session under Andoni Iraola in Chicago, the Reds’ operational base during the American tour, the issue seems to have been resolved. Tomorrow, Liverpool will face Leeds in their third summer friendly.
The tension had emerged after the friendly against Wrexham in New York, when the Englishman vented his frustration over not being handed the captain’s armband when the Hungarian left the field. During the training session, however, the two waited for the start chatting and joking calmly, together with Kostas Tsimikas, who moved from Roma on loan last year and was the one who received the armband from Szoboszlai during the match with Wrexham.
Anonymous sources within the club, considered reliable by The Athletic, have downplayed the incident: “it falls within the type of situations that frequently occur in high-level environments, although usually such episodes are seen in the privacy of the locker room.” The club considers the matter closed, as demonstrated by the atmosphere in training.
According to the British outlet, Inter would be ready to raise their offer to 35 million euros, coming much closer to the Merseyside club’s request. As a result, the chances of a compromise between the two clubs are increasing, with Liverpool still asking for 40 million euros but possibly willing to make a step towards the Nerazzurri.
