Liverpool transfer news LIVE updates: All the latest from Anfield

Mohamed Salah to Barcelona - Rivaldo

Rivaldo believes Barcelona should go all out to sign Liverpool star Mohamed Salah this summer.

The Egypt international has enjoyed a sensational debut campaign on Merseyside, scoring 44 goals in all competitions, winning the PFA Player of the Year award.

Mohamed Salah’s performances have not gone unnoticed across Europe and reports suggest Real Madrid and Barcelona could both attempt to prise him away from Anfield during the transfer window.

And Rivaldo, who netted 86 goals in 157 league appearances for Barcelona, believes Salah would not look out of place at the Nou Camp.

“From the Premier League? Salah - he’s a great player. He is a game changer,” Rivaldo told Express Sport when asked who the Catalan giants should look to sign from England’s top flight.

Ousmane Dembele

Barcelona are prepared to sell forward Ousmane Dembele, sensational reports claim.

Dembele, 21, has struggled to make an impact since his £135million arrival from Borussia Dortmund, netting four goals in 24 appearances.

As a result, Spanish website Don Balon claim Barcelona executives are ready to part ways with the France international.

And they've already offered him to a number of European heavyweights including Liverpool.

However, the report continues to say that none are interested in paying mega-money for the 21-year-old.

It’s said that Liverpool would only sign Dembele if they sold Egyptian superstar Mohamed Salah, and Jurgen Klopp has no interest in allowing that to happen.

Wilfried Zaha odds

Liverpool are narrowly behind Manchester City in the battle to sign Crystal Palace forward Wilfried Zaha, according to the bookies.

Zaha’s stock continues to rise after another impressive Premier League campaign that saw him score nine goals with a further five assist to boot despite missing nine games through injury.

“Wilfried Zaha’s impressive season for Crystal Palace is set to spark a bidding war for the winger’s signature, with Manchester City the market favourites to land the 25-year-old,” BetStars director of trading Ian Marmion said.

“The Citizens are priced at 5/2 to get their man, however Champions League finalists Liverpool have also joined the race to sign the Ivorian international. Zaha would add competition to an already fully firing Reds frontline and the Palace favourite can be found at 7/2 to make the move to Merseyside.

“Tottenham are next up at 4/1, whilst Chelsea are valued at 6/1 to sign the former Manchester United man.”

Gianluigi Donnarumma to Liverpool

AC Milan have slashed their asking price for Liverpool target Gianluigi Donnarumma.

Milan had been requesting around £61million for Donnarumma earlier in the year, but Italian newspaper Corriere dello Sport claim the San Siro club have reduced that valuation.

According to the report, AC Milan are now willing to sell for just £35m.

The reason for the drop is Milan’s desperate need to raise funds following a disappointing season in Serie A.

Their Chinese owners pumped £150m in the transfer funds last summer but Milan still sixth in Serie A.

Failure to qualify for the Champions League next season means the club may have to sell some of their top stars to meet Financial Fair Play obligations.

And that means Donnarumma could be on his way.

Corriere dello Sport claim Liverpool are ready to launch their initial offer for Donnarumma this month.
