“No [he won’t stay at Bournemouth],” Laurens told ESPN FC when asked if Iraola could backtrack and stay at the Vitality Stadium next season. “I think for a long time he was hoping that maybe Liverpool would get rid of Arne Slot and that would be the perfect fit for him.

“That’s not going to happen for now, but I don’t rule out the chance that he won’t have a club at the start of next season and he will take a bit of time to make sure that the right offer comes, which might come at Liverpool if Arne Slot doesn’t last until November, for example, that’s a strong possibility. “But I don’t think he can stay at Bournemouth, and I think he will be very particular in where he goes next, because he wants something quite big and something that he thinks is the right project for him.” Michael first started supporting Liverpool after Istanbul in 2006.
