Liverpool are gearing up for the last weekend of the Premier League season: are we going to win it then, or not?! Come on Stevie G, do us a favour!
PSV midfielder Sangare on Reds’ radar
The Aurelien Tchouameni links haven’t gone away, but it should be no surprise to see alternatives arise in the rumour mill until the Monaco man moves somewhere.
Today it’s PSV star Ibrahim Sangare who Liverpool are linked with, as Voetbal say we have him “firmly in [our] sights” even though several other clubs are considering a move too.
Naturally, PSV want to keep hold of the Ivory Coast international, but he has a €37.5m release clause (about £31.7m) and if the 24-year-old wants to leave then there’s not much they can do if it’s triggered.
Newcastle, Villa and Leicester are mentioned as potential rivals to sign him.
Final day, final countdown!
- Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk “look good” but there will be no risks taken with their fitness, says Jurgen Klopp. He wants the option to use them against Wolves, but only if they are 100% ready for action before Paris. The big positive there is that BOTH players were shown in training on Friday afternoon ahead of the Anfield clash. We need them sharp for Real Madrid, that’s for sure

- Paul Pogba agreed terms with Man City but then rejected the move anyway, to avoid a “backlash” from fans apparently. Not sure if that’s from United fans for moving to a rival club, or City fans in advance for fleecing them out of millions for anonymous performances…
