All of Liverpool’s players are enjoying a well-deserved break after various international tournaments and duties.

With no Club World Cup commitments looming this summer, Arne Slot and his coaching staff may feel a sense of relief as they focus on recovery and preparation for the new season.

After a demanding Premier League campaign, the absence of additional high-intensity fixtures allows for a more measured approach to rest, rehabilitation, and tactical planning.

Slot can now give his players a well-earned break, ensuring they return refreshed and motivated to defend their league title crown next season.

This extended downtime also provides valuable opportunities for new signings to integrate smoothly and for the coaching team to implement fresh ideas without the pressure of immediate global competition.

Curtis Jones is likewise enjoying some downtime after his England duties in early June.

Taking to Instagram, the 23-year-old posted an image of himself with Liverpool target Anthony Gordon on holiday:

This comes after we exclusively revealed that Liverpool have maintained a dialogue with the agents of Gordon after last year’s failed pursuit of the winger.

The Reds are prepared to make a significant move for the Newcastle United winger if one of their current forwards departs this summer – with the likes of Federico Chiesa, Darwin Nunez, and even Luis Diaz facing less than certain futures on Merseyside.

Jones has made no secret of his friendship with the former Everton man and has referred to Gordon as one of his best friends in football in the past.

Anthony Gordon’s decision to sign a new long-term contract with Newcastle United in October 2024, extending his stay until 2029, significantly strengthens the Geordie club’s position in any future transfer discussions with Liverpool.

Earlier this month, Jones was spotted liking a post linking Gordon to the Reds.
