Sanguine Arne Slot's assistant Johnny Heitinga leaves the club to become the new Ajax boss - two years after an initial six month spell in charge there. Rumour mill in overdrive as to his replacement - noting that Steven Gerrard isn't going back to Rangers.
FSG appear to be FSG-ing the Wirtz transfer. Liverpool's offer around €100m, Leverkusen want €30m more. Various reporting that this will be worked out and the deal will go through, but Liverpool fans will be forgiven for smelling the Caicedo deal that didn't happen, and wondering if Real's apparent interest will come to anything.
Rumour is that Dirk Kuyt will replace Heitinga.
