Found out Liverpool FC will play Europa League, first player to leave Anfield

Liverpool FC did not close in the expected way an irregular season, but came close to saving it at the end with a qualification to the UEFA Champions League that never came as they finished outside the Top 4 in the Premier League. A situation that unleashed anger among the Anfield fans.

Since 2017, Jurgen Klopp's team does not know what it is not to play UEFA Champions League in a season. That is to say, it has been securing its place in the competition for more than 6 consecutive years. Now, the terrible news reaches the players of the team and many of them react, in a way not so expected by the German coach.

The first of them is Mohamed Salah, who was quick to take to his official social networks and offer an apology to the team's fans, saying that it is a complete failure not to qualify for the most important competition in Europe. He also confessed that the club has no excuse to justify such failure, although Klopp seems to have taken it lightly.

However, one player who did not hesitate to define his destination after the end of the season is Elijah Gift, a 16-year-old player with great potential who plays for the Reds. He is a talented attacker from Navarre who would change team in the next transfer market. Apparently, he wants a new adventure in his young career.

Where will Elijah Gift play next season?

According to reports shared by The Athletic, Liverpool already has advanced talks with Athletic Club for next season. The Basque team is willing to put 1 million euros on the table to get the Spanish player who plays at Anfield. According to the afore mentioned source, the talks are at an advanced stage and everything could be finalized soon.
