Liverpool are undergoing plenty of change within the club’s youth ranks this summer.

The Reds have had a decent success rate at bringing through young players over recent years, but are going to do so under new leadership in 2025/26.

After many years in charge, both Barry Lewtas and Marc Bridge-Wilkinson, U21 and U18 coaches respectively, have left their roles at the Liverpool academy.

Whether this prompts a shift in approach remains to be seen, but it could provide Liverpool with an exciting new set-up.

In the meantime, there tends to be plenty of churn at the end of each campaign as some players move on having failed to make the grade.

Others will leave having been poached from elsewhere.

And, unfortunately for Liverpool, they have seen Manchester City swoop in to take a promising young player from them, with another also set to leave.

Liverpool have been very adept at picking up bargain signings from rival youth academies recently.

Rio Ngumoha caused controversy when he swapped Chelsea for the Reds last summer and the tricky winger was the latest in a relatively long list of shrewd youth team signings.

However, as per journalist Fabrizio Romano, Liverpool have been on the receiving end of such tactics in regards to U15s midfielder Kaylum Moss.

“Manchester City are closing in on one more signing for the Academy, Kaylum Moss from Liverpool,” Romano reported on Thursday morning.

“Kaylum’s highly rated as a big talent for U15 level, Manchester City are working on key details with Liverpool.”

As per the Liverpool ECHO, the Reds have also waved goodbye to 16-year-old midfielder Isaac Moran, who reportedly turned down offers from the club to leave on a free transfer.

As well as youngsters Moran and Moss, who will have largely been unknown to Liverpool supporters, the ECHO report that two more youngsters will spend time away from Anfield in 2025/26.

21-year-old goalkeeper Harvey Davies is reportedly on the verge of joining League Two side Crawley Town for the season.

Davies has done well at U21 level, and has been involved in the first team squad on a good number of occasions.

Having spent last season as a nominal fourth choice at Liverpool, he will now reportedly move to the fourth division for more experience.

Elsewhere, midfielder James Balagizi is claimed to be having a trial with Swedish team Osters IF.
