Prior signs three-year Livingston extension
The 29-year-old joined David Martindale's side from Pau FC last summer and went on to make 44 appearances last term and kept 22 clean sheets - the highest of any Livingston goalkeeper in a single season.
Prior played a pivotal role in a campaign that saw Livi concede the second-fewest goals across the SPFL and secure an immediate return to the top flight thanks to their play-off win over Ross County.

Barcelona forward ‘set to complete' €15m move
Barcelona on the verge of sealing their biggest sale of the summer so far, as they look to raise funds for to register new signings. Forward Pau Victor arrived for just Victor is unlikely to get much in the way of opportunites though, having played just 379 minutes under Hansi Flick this past season. With the arrival of Marcus Rashford, slated for today, Victor seems unlikely to receive much more in the way of chances next campaign, and has been left out of Barcelona's preseason tour to Japan and South Korea in order to settle his future. Offer from Braga for Pau Victor It reported that Victor had an offer on the table that he was keen to accept, but it seems the deal is much further along than previously though. The Athletic report that Victor is 'set to join' the Portuguese side, with the deal bringing in €12m for Barcelona, plus a further €3m in variables. Fabrizio Romano has added that Barcelona are negotiating to include a buyback clause in the 23-year-old's contract. Valencia drop out of race A number of clubs had been previously linked with Victor, who impressed in preseason last summer, and finished as top scorer for Barca Atletic two years ago. The most recent were Valencia, who had supposedly enquired about Victor's services. Yet RadioMarca say that due to the prospective cost of the deal, they have decided to look at other options. Los Che have not forked out such a high fee since spending €35m on Jasper Cillessen in 2019. Image viaBarcelona sales this summer Victor would be a sixth exit this summer for the Blaugrana. Clement Lenglet came to an agreement to terminate his deal before joining Atletico Madrid, while Ansu Fati and Ander Astralaga have joined AS Monaco and Granada on loan respectively. Pablo Torre has joined RCD Mallorca in a €5m deal, and Alex Valle has signed for Como in a €6m deal. Although Barcelona have benefitted from some sell-on clauses, Victor's exit would more than double their current takings.

Report – Inter Milan Determined To Offload Albania EURO 2024 Star Despite Real Betis Rejection
Inter Milan will not change their stance on Kristjan Asllani despite the player's recent decision to reject a move to Real Betis. According to FCInter1908, Asllani has no future at San Siro, with the Nerazzurri determined to cash in on his exit. Kristjan Asllani turned down a transfer to Andalusia earlier this summer. Though Inter accepted Betis' offer, the 23-year-old decided against joining Manuel Pellegrini's side. Indeed, he pointed to family reasons as the basis for his decision. Inter Milan Eager to Sell Kristjan Asllani MILAN, ITALY – JANUARY 19: Kristjan Asllani of FC Internazionale in action during the Serie A match between FC Internazionale and Empoli FC at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza on January 19, 2025 in Milan, Italy. (Photo by) Asllani is keen to stay in Serie A and won't accept any foreign offers. However, his position diminishes Inter's chances of finding a club capable of matching their €18 million asking price. Indeed, only a handful of Italian sides can meet that figure, and none has interest in the Albanian. Meanwhile, Inter plan to use funds from Asllani's sale to finance the arrival of Ademola Lookman. Furthermore, they're still interested in Giovanni Leoni to strengthen Cristian Chivu's backline.

Liverpool set to hand new deals to duo amid squad reshuffle
Liverpool Show Faith in Youth as Stephenson and McConnell Enter Contract Talks Academy core remains part of Slot's long-term plan While the headlines swirl around Liverpool's aggressive summer recruitment, another key strand of the club's strategy is unfolding more quietly. According to The Athletic, the Premier League champions are in talks with academy products Luca Stephenson and James McConnell over new contracts. These discussions are not glamorous, but they matter. Amid the £170 million already spent on marquee names like Florian Wirtz and Jeremie Frimpong, and with Hugo Ekitike on the brink of joining, the club's commitment to its academy continues to run deep. For all the global scouting and big-money deals, Liverpool still understand the value of homegrown development. Stephenson earns his opportunity Luca Stephenson, 21, returned from a successful loan spell at Dundee United with his stock significantly higher. Slot named him in Liverpool's 29-man squad for the pre-season tour of Hong Kong and Japan, and the midfielder has already featured in the opening friendlies. Photo: IMAGO '[It was] a little bit [of a surprise], yeah. A little bit,' Stephenson told about being included in the tour squad. 'So, it feels kind of even better to feel like you're with more senior boys and learning from more senior players.' After 34 appearances and three goals in Scotland last season, his inclusion is a deserved reward. Stephenson's energy, intelligence and work rate have not gone unnoticed. McConnell set for loan after injury setback James McConnell, 20, is also in line for a new contract. He missed the pre-season tour through injury, but remains part of the club's longer-term vision. A loan move is being arranged to ensure he gets valuable first-team football next season. Photo: IMAGO McConnell showed flashes of quality last term and has impressed coaches with his versatility in midfield. A year out on loan could unlock his full potential and offer Liverpool another reliable option from within. Contract renewals maintain squad balance While the futures of senior players like Ibrahima Konate, Darwin Nunez and Luis Diaz remain uncertain, these youth extensions provide stability and continuity. Slot's system relies on tactical understanding and adaptability, traits more easily instilled in players raised through the club's own philosophy. These aren't headline moves, but they reflect smart planning. Amid all the noise of transfer speculation, Stephenson and McConnell's negotiations reinforce Liverpool's continued focus on building from the ground up. Our View – Anfield Index Analysis It is refreshing to see the club not only splashing the cash but also staying true to its roots. Players like Luca Stephenson and James McConnell represent the work being done behind the scenes, the sessions at Kirkby, and the graft that goes unseen while cameras flash for the high-profile arrivals. Stephenson's inclusion on the Asia tour feels significant. It is not just a pat on the back, it is a vote of confidence. With 34 games under his belt last season, he is no longer a rookie. There's a chance for him to become a reliable squad option if he continues this trajectory. McConnell's injury is a setback, but the fact Liverpool are still pressing ahead with a contract renewal tells you how highly they rate him. Loaning him out, as long as it is the right environment, is the smart step. The modern game demands depth, flexibility and trust in the pathway. These renewals show Liverpool are not losing sight of that. Big signings win the headlines, but homegrown players often win the respect of the fanbase. And right now, both sides of the club are delivering.
