Liverpool are believed to be set to announce two fresh pre-season friendlies against La Liga sides Valencia and Osasuna.
That’s according to the reputable Paul Gorst, who in his report for the Echo states both fixtures will be played at Anfield – and the club hope to have a crowd in attendance.
Liverpool are currently posted up at their pre-season training camp in Austria, where they will remain for the duration of July.
The Echo states the games against Valencia and Osasuna are expected to be played on consecutive days, and muse they could take place on the weekend of August 9 – before kicking off their Premier League campaign the following week.
Liverpool have four clashes forthcoming, with 30-minute fixtures against Wacker Innsbruck Stuttgart up first this coming Tuesday.
Three days later, Liverpool will face off against Mainz at the Greisbergers Betten-Arena in Grodig in a typical 90-minute match, where 3,500 people are permitted to spectate.
To round things off, the Reds will take on Hertha Berlin at the Tivoli Stadium in Innsbruck on July 29, where a significantly larger 15,000 strong crowd will be allowed to attend.
