Liverpool left-back Owen Beck<\/a> is set to depart on loan again this summer, with the 22-year-old due for a medical after missing the pre-season tour of Asia.<\/b><\/p>\n

Beck could have been considered to have an outside chance of joining Arne Slot<\/a>\u2018s squad for their friendlies against AC Milan<\/a> in Hong Kong and Yokohama F. Marinos in Japan.<\/p>\n

But after joining the first team for sessions at the AXA Training Centre early last week, the Wales international has remained on Merseyside.<\/p>\n

That came with reports of interest from Rangers, with Liverpool claimed to value Beck at around \u00a310 million, while a host of other clubs have been credited as suitors.<\/p>\n

He is not set to head to Scotland, however, with the Telegraph\u2018s John Percy revealing on X<\/a> that he will instead undergo a medical at Derby this week.<\/p>\n

Liverpool have agreed to send Beck to Pride Park for the 2025\/26 campaign, allowing him to be reunited with manager John Eustace.<\/p>\n

\"2Y3KM77<\/p>\n

Eustace took him on loan at Blackburn last term before making the switch to Derby mid-season, and Beck is \u201cvery keen to play under him again.\u201d<\/p>\n

It is likely that Liverpool will require Beck to sign a new long-term contract before completing his switch, with his current deal reportedly set to expire next summer.<\/p>\n

Beck had also been on the radar of a number of Premier League<\/a> and Championship clubs, with Wrexham and Sheffield United<\/a> among those interested.<\/p>\n

The decision to join Derby, who finished 20th in last season\u2019s second tier, is an interesting one \u2013 as the left-back would no doubt be capable of operating at a higher level.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

But his relationship with Eustace is clearly key, with Beck at the stage in his career where he must prioritise a regular starting role over the exposure of a better-placed club.<\/p>\n

Liverpool signed Beck from Stoke in 2015 and he has developed into an impressive attacking left-back, with the last two seasons seeing him stand out at Dundee United and Blackburn.<\/p>\n

He has already made three appearances for the first team, most recently as a substitute against Bournemouth<\/a> in the Premier League<\/a> in January of last year, having briefly been recalled from his spell in Dundee.<\/p>\n

It seems almost certain that his future now lies away from Anfield, though, with a stint at Derby perhaps giving him the opportunity to earn a long-term move next year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Liverpool left-back Owen Beck is set to depart on loan again this summer, with the 22-year-old due for…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":282097,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8815],"tags":[748,393,4884,179,763,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-282096","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-liverpool","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-england","10":"tag-great-britain","11":"tag-liverpool","12":"tag-liverpool-fc","13":"tag-uk","14":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114896079637516163","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/282096","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=282096"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/282096\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/282097"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=282096"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=282096"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=282096"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
