Here is your Liverpool morning digest for Tuesday, June 21.
Liverpool make Gini Wijnaldum transfer decision
As Liverpool found themselves surprisingly linked with former Red Gini Wijnaldum over the weekend, the reaction in the fanbase was understandably mixed.
On one hand, having decided to put plans for a new midfielder on hold until the summer of 2023, a loan move for the Dutchman could seem fairly shrewd as a short-term fix. Yet on the other, Jurgen Klopp ’s side are very much soft-launching the next generation of their side, with Sadio Mane ’s imminent €41m move to Bayern Munich the latest sign of this transition.
As a result, it would make no sense looking back and re-signing Wijnaldum, even on loan. Liverpool currently have eight senior midfielders on their books and this season should see Harvey Elliott's and Curtis Jones ’ game-time increase. Any move for the Dutchman would only block that possibility.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain transfer stance confirmed
Liverpool currently have no plans to sell Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain this summer, according to Anfield insiders.
The England international is out of contract next summer and found himself out of favour during the second half of last season as Liverpool chased an unprecedented quadruple. As a result he has been linked with a transfer away from the club this summer.
However, with the Reds putting plans to sign a new midfielder on hold until summer 2023, Oxlade-Chamberlain is expected to report back for pre-season on July 4 and remains part of the club's plans for the season ahead.
