The match against the 19-time English champions had previously been agreed on in 2018, as part of the negotiations surrounding the transfer of Naby Keïta. The midfielder joined Liverpool in summer 2018, having featured in 71 games for RBL during his two years at the club. The friendly will also mark a reunion with another former Red Bull, Ibrahima Konaté, who played in 95 games for RBL from 2017 to 2021.
Both sides have agreed to field their best possible sides for the match.
The match against German coach Jürgen Klopp's side will also be an important test for our team before the 2022/23 season gets underway on 30th July with the DFL Supercup against FC Bayern München. The Supercup will also be hosted in Leipzig at the Red Bull Arena.
