Owen Beck sends message as another Liverpool exit announced
Liverpool are having a busy summer in the transfer market with plenty of incomings and departures.
Arne Slot is revamping his squad following a fantastic debut season that saw his side win the Premier League title.
Trent-Alexander Arnold has already left Anfield to sign for Real Madrid, and there are more departures on the cards for other academy graduates.
Owen Beck has been with the club since 2015, but has been out on loan for the last three seasons and could be set for a permanent exit.
Liverpool defender sends message to former teammate
Beck has been with the Reds since he was 12 and has played with many top players in the Liverpool academy.
Dominic Corness is one of Beck’s former teammates, and he has been confirmed to be exiting Anfield.
Liverpool released a statement on Tuesday (24 June) saying Corness will join The New Saints when his contract expires at the end of June.
Former Liverpool U-21s captain Corness will join Welsh champions TNS after loan spells at Yverdon-Sport and Gillingham.
Corness was part of Jurgen Klopp’s squad for the friendlies against Lyon and AC Milan in 2022 but never made a competitive appearance for the Reds.
Beck took to Instagram to congratulate his former teammate, following the announcement by TNS.
He commentated “Good luck fella” underneath the Welsh side’s post, which showed a video of Corness in the club’s colours.
The 22-year-old has been signed in time for TNS’s upcoming UEFA Champions League campaign, in which they will face KF Shkëndija of North Macedonia.
Beck linked with permanent Anfield exit
Beck impressed on loan in the Championship this season with Blackburn, making 24 appearances.
His performances earned him a call-up to the Wales senior squad, despite missing the end of the season through injury.
Sheffield United are thought to be interested in signing the full-back, after proving himself in the second tier.
A move away from Anfield would make sense for Beck, with game time at Liverpool going to be in short supply next season.
The signing of Milos Kerkez from Bournemouth has pushed the Welshman further down the pecking order, and he may have to leave for first-team football.
