Ahead of Liverpool's pre-season campaign getting underway, the Post-Game podcast is back... with a difference! Guy Clarke is joined by Mike Holt from Going the Match Podcast, Hannah Pinnock, and Owen Thomas from Kop On! podcast.

There have been shock reports today that captain Jordan Henderson could leave Liverpool after contract talks reached an impasse. With Atletico Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain both said to be monitoring developments, for the latest Blood Red podcast Paul Gorst, David Lynch and Sean Bradbury join Matt Addison to discuss whether Hendo’s incredible stay at Anfield could really be coming to an end. And that leads into a wider discussion about the big contract decisions Liverpool are currently facing, concerning the likes of Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk and Alisson Becker, who signed for the club three years ago today. Plus, with the Reds set to kick-off their pre-season programme in Austria on Tuesday night, the panel look ahead to the double-header with FC Wacker Innsbruck and VfB Stuttgart, and talk the newly announced friendlies that will take place at Anfield at the start of next month against Spanish sides Athletic Bilbao and Osasuna.Get exclusive podcasts direct to your inbox every week for FREE by joining

Matt Addison is joined by David Lynch to discuss Liverpool’s search for a new striker, amid links with PSV Eindhoven’s Donyell Malen. However, Malen is expected to sign for Borussia Dortmund, where he would replace the Manchester United-bound Jadon Sancho. So for the latest episode of The Agenda, David explains to Matt why Liverpool have cooled their interest. With Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino and Diogo Jota, plus the likes of Harvey Elliott breaking through, the Reds are well stocked in forward areas. But they could still look to bring in an extra option during the transfer window.Get exclusive podcasts direct to your inbox every week for FREE by joining the Blood Red Club.

The sun is out, Virgil van Dijk is back, Ibrahima Konate looks like he’s going to settle in just fine... and within the next month we are going to see fans back at Anfield. Little wonder, then, the latest Poetry in Motion podcast, hosted as ever by Neil Fitzmaurice, and featuring Paul Gorst and debutant Mark Wakefield, is brimming with optimism ahead of the new season. But while the Reds look stronger than ever at the back after the return of Van Dijk, Joe Gomez and Joel Matip, plus the signing of Konate, are they in danger of repeating last season’s transfer mistake - but in a different area of the pitch? Fitzy and the panel discuss whether Liverpool need to strengthen their midfield, examining reported interest in Florian Neuhaus and Houssem Aouar, and also ask whether another forward is needed, too. But whatever the Reds' squad looks like come the opening day at Norwich City, they will go into the new campaign knowing they will have their 12th man back.

Anyone excited for the new season? Well, with Euro 2020 over and those Liverpool training pictures being released everyday, Mo Stewart, James Martin and Matt Addison certainly are. So for this week’s Liverpool.com podcast, they pick Jurgen Klopp’s side for him for the Premier League opener at Norwich City, which is now just little over a month away. But it’s not as easy as you might think given that Reds boss Klopp still has 10 players - Jordan Henderson, Andy Robertson, Alisson, Thiago, Fabinho, Roberto Firmino, Diogo Jota, Xherdan Shaqiri, Harry Wilson and Neco Williams - on their holidays, and a number of others working their way back to full fitness after serious injury. So it could give the likes of new boy Ibrahima Konate, Curtis Jones and Naby Keita the chance to start the Carrow Road clash on August 14.Get exclusive podcasts direct to your inbox every week for FREE by joining the Blood Red Club.

Wind back to 2018, and Liverpool spent more heavily in the transfer market than they ever had before. Backed in part by the £143m deal that had seen Philippe Coutinho move to Barcelona six months earlier - though £75m of that had already been splashed on Virgil van Dijk - Liverpool then went and signed Alisson Becker, Fabinho, Naby Keita and Xherdan Shaqiri for a combined total of around £170m. But they could very easily have spent another £52m, having been minutes away from a transfer being announced for French attacking midfielder Nabil Fekir. So, for this special podcast, Matt Addison is joined by Kristian Walsh, who was working on the Liverpool ECHO's sports desk at the time, Spanish football writer Andrew Miller, who specialises in Real Betis, the club that Fekir plays for now, and finally Jonathan Johnson, a French football expert who gives the view from Lyon, as they explain why the deal collapsed, and how that has impacted the player himself and Liverpool since. Certainly, Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool cou

But with club football now the focus again, which players should the Reds look to move for? How important pre-season will be for Jurgen Klopp? And how desperate is his transfer need? Plus, with the pre-season plans finalised, the panel also discuss the friendlies to come with Wacker Innsbruck, Stuttgart, Mainz and Hertha Berlin.

There was devastation for Spain last night as they lost an incredible game to Italy on penalties in the first Euro 2020 semi-final. But the performance of Barcelona’s brilliant young midfielder Pedri shows that the future is bright for Spanish football. But what about the 18-year-old’s club side? You don’t need reminding that the last time Liverpool came across Barcelona was back on May 7, 2019 when Jurgen Klopp’s team produced one of the greatest comebacks of all time. That 4-0 defeat shook Barca to their core. But as we’ll learn on this special podcast, as seismic as that result was, the club’s problems had set in long before then, and has certainly accelerated since. Samuel Marsden reports on Barcelona for ESPN and Diario Sport, and Paul Wheelock picked up the phone to him for the first time since before the Miracle of Anfield to find out exactly how bad things have gotten at Camp Nou. Sam talks about Lionel Messi, and whether Barca will be able to sign the world’s greatest player to another contract or be

For the latest Blood Red Club exclusive podcast, Matt Addison is joined by football scout Connor McGinn for an in-depth look at Ajax prodigy Ryan Gravenberch. Gravenberch, who is still only 19, is a player that Liverpool, like many other top clubs around Europe, admire. So we get the lowdown on what type of player he is, and it soon becomes clear exactly why the Reds are interested: top stats for pressing, ball progression and plenty more, the Holland international has it all. Compared to Paul Pogba, Marco Verratti, Naby Keita and even Zinedine Zidane, Gravenberch could be ideal for a Jurgen Klopp midfielder and as both a short and long-term Gini Wijnaldum successor.

Matt Addison is joined by Michael Statham from Football Oranje as they talk all things Dutch football, from the Netherlands' last-16 exit at the European Championships to possible Liverpool transfer target Donyell Malen. Virgil van Dijk was a big miss for Frank de Boer's side at the tournament and former Liverpool midfielder Gini Wijnaldum's goals were not enough to drag his national team over the line - but will Wijnaldum be a success at PSG, and why did he choose them over a move to Barcelona? Also discussed is Ryan Gravenberch, the Ajax prodigy that Liverpool, and many other European clubs, are taking a keen look at. Michael whets the appetite on the 19-year-old midfielder, but if you'd like a more in-depth look at Gravenberch, head to www.bloodredpodcast.co.uk and sign up for our Blood Red Club before 6am UK-time on Wednesday, July 7 and a special episode with a football scout on the exciting young Ajax star will land in your inbox this week.

On the day that Dejan Lovren turns 32, Matt Addison is joined by Theo Squires and Marcus Banks to discuss whether Liverpool are in danger of repeating a transfer mistake. The Reds were left to rue their decision to sell Lovren last summer but, after a horrendous run of injuries, the centre-back situation is looking a lot healthier. But would that change if Nat Phillips chooses to leave?However, is another defensive position more of a concern? If Neco Williams asks to go and is sold for £10m it would leave Liverpool with just Trent Alexander-Arnold as their sole senior right-back. As it stands it doesn’t appear as if the Reds would seek a replacement for Williams. But does that have echoes of Lovren’s departure? Or could Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain fill the void? Talk then turns to Jordan Henderson, whose first international goal sealed England’s Euro 2020 quarter-final win over Ukraine, and Danny Ings, who has turned down a new deal at Southampton. Should Liverpool look to re-sign the striker? The panel discuss t
