Mo Salah reportedly edged closer to signing a new contract as moves for two forwards were ‘ruled out’ by one Merseyside journalist.
Today’s Main LFC Headline
With Darwin Nunez seemingly set to leave and Diogo Jota struggling for form, Liverpool should be in the market for a striker this summer.
Among the names to have been mentioned are Liam Delap, Eintracht Frankfurt’s Hugo Ekitike and Brighton‘s Joao Pedro.
The fact that Delap’s release clause will fall to just £30 million in the highly likely scenario that Ipswich are relegated, according to the Guardian, will be another reason for Liverpool to look into the 22-year-old’s availability.
While Liverpool have been named as suitors, the latest report says that Man United and Chelsea “are in a tussle” for his services.
The Mail‘s Lewis Steele added to this by saying he doesn’t think he is a “viable candidate” for Liverpool.
The journalist added that he had the same opinion of any potential move for Brighton‘s Pedro.
He was slightly more optimistic, though, about a move for Hugo Ekitike, writing that the Frenchman “pops up the most when I speak to people.”

More from This Is Anfield
Everything Liverpool do for the remainder of the season will aid their chase of the Premier League. Here, though, Joanna Durkan names alternate 10 things we would like to see from the remainder of the campaign:
“We’ve seen it before when we were not able to give the likes of Sadio Mane, Fabinho and Jordan Henderson the farewell they deserved, let’s avoid that again this time.
“If and where possible, the hope will be that we can say a proper farewell at Anfield amid the celebrations. The list could include long-term servants Caoimhin Kelleher and Gomez.
“There will be debate as to what reception Alexander-Arnold could receive, but being armed with the information ahead of time is all we ask.”

Liverpool FC: On this day
Robbie Fowler celebrates his 50th birthday today!
On this day in 1975, ‘God’ was born and would make his Liverpool debut 18 years, five months and 12 days later.
Known as one of the best finishers in the Reds’ history, Fowler was loved by all as a local striker who scored goals and stood up for the city.
Though he never won the Premier League or Champions League with the Reds, he is among the very best attackers to every play for the club.
Happy birthday, Robbie!
