The summer transfer window has now begun, with rumours and speculation continuing to swirl as Liverpool eye possible reinforcements.
Jurgen Klopp's champions have not been particularly busy during recent windows, but that has not stopped the rumour mill from linking them with additions.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest news on possible comings and goings from Anfield.
Saturday morning's Liverpool transfer talk news roundup:
Liverpool to offload 10 players before start of new season?

Liverpool could reportedly offload as many as 10 more players before the start of the new season in a bid to trim their squad.
The Premier League champions have already seen the likes of Dejan Lovren, Adam Lallana and Nathaniel Clyne leave the club this summer, while left-back Kostas Tsimikas is so far the only player to arrive.
However, Goal reports that manager Jurgen Klopp is still eager to cut down his squad further, with as many as 10 fringe players available to be shipped out.
A number of those players - including Marko Grujic, Harry Wilson and Loris Karius - were out on loan last season and could be set for permanent exits this term.
Nathaniel Phillips, Sheyi Ojo, Yasser Larouci, Ben Woodburn, Taiwo Awoniyi and Kamil Grabara could also be on course to leave either on loan or in permanent deals.
The 10th player potentially available is striker Rhian Brewster, although Klopp is thought to be willing to give him a chance to impress before deciding whether to send him out on loan again.
Liverpool will begin their Premier League title defence at home to newly-promoted Leeds United on September 12.
Liverpool, Manchester United dealt blow in Thiago Alcantara pursuit

Liverpool and Manchester United have seemingly been dealt a blow in their efforts to sign Bayern Munich midfielder Thiago Alcantara.
For a number of weeks it has been suggested that the Spaniard is keen to take on a new challenge, rather than extend his contract at the Allianz Arena past the end of 2021.
Club officials at the Bundesliga champions have also acknowledged that there is truth in the rumours regarding a potential exit for the playmaker.
However, despite him being heavily linked with a switch to the Premier League, it appears that the 29-year-old is still open to remaining in Germany.
After representing his country on Thursday night, Thiago told ZDF: "I only think about the game against Ukraine. Afterwards, we will see. Bayern is my home and I am happy to be there."
The former Barcelona man is allegedly valued in the region of £27m, a price tag yet to be met by either of the English sides.
