Liverpool Cancel Friendly With German Side Following Transfer Dispute Over Attacking Starlet

Liverpool have withdrawn from what would have been their last pre-season game of the summer, with the Echo reporting that the Anfield side have cancelled a friendly against German outfit Borussia Monchengladbach.

The Reds are said to have taken exception to the Bundesliga side's pursuit of their 18-year-old forward Rhian Brewster and will not be playing their planned fixture ahead of next season.

Liverpool’s dispute with Monchengladbach following an alleged illegal approach for Rhian Brewster has intensified with the cancellation of a prestigious pre-season fixture between the clubs.

Liverpool believe Brewster has been spoken to without permission.
