Liverpool Pursue Sizzling Summer Showdown with Las Palmas Amid Fears of Rusty Reds Return

**Liverpool in Talks with Las Palmas to Add Another Pre-Season Friendly**

Liverpool are considering adding another pre-season friendly to their schedule, with talks held with Spanish side Las Palmas. This move comes as the Reds look to get up to speed with Arne Slot’s style, following a significant number of star players missing their three-game tour of America.

While no contract has been signed yet, discussions have taken place, and if the match were to happen, it would likely be played behind closed doors. This would give Slot a chance to assess his returning players, including Ryan Gravenberch and Ibrahima Konate, who arrived in Philadelphia in the last 24 hours.

Liverpool are already scheduled to play Sevilla at Anfield, and this additional match would provide valuable game time for the players who have missed out so far. The Reds have a history of playing back-to-back friendlies, having done so against Athletic Club and Osasuna in 2022.

**Slot Eager to Get Returning Players Up to Speed**

Slot is keen to get a closer look at his returning players before they head back to England. The likes of Trent Alexander-Arnold, Virgil van Dijk, and Alisson have not played a minute or even trained since Slot took over, due to their commitments at the European Championship or Copa America.

**Las Palmas a Possible Opponent**

Tenerife-based Las Palmas, who finished 16th in La Liga last term, could provide a suitable opponent for the Reds. The match would give Slot a chance to experiment with different formations and tactics, as well as assess the fitness levels of his players.

**Upcoming Friendly Against Arsenal**

Liverpool are back in action on Wednesday in Philadelphia, where they will take on Arsenal at the Lincoln Financial Field. This match will be a stern test for the Reds, and Slot will be hoping to see improvements in his team’s performance.

**Slot’s Previous Friendlies**

Slot has overseen two friendlies so far, a loss to Preston behind closed doors at the AXA Training Centre and a 1-0 win over Spanish side Real Betis in Pittsburgh.
