The summer transfer window is getting ever closer, and Liverpool are continuing to be linked with a host of potential new players.
As many Reds stars ply their trade on international duty in what has been a mammoth season, work carries on in the background as Liverpool prepare for potential transfer business.
Despite the extremely fruitful season just gone for Jurgen Klopp with two trophies, a Champions League final and narrowly missing out on the Premier League title by one point, the Reds may still be looking to strengthen their squad.

HAVE YOUR SAY: What do Liverpool need this summer?
We have rounded up the latest Reds transfer gossip below.
Who?
Arnaut Danjuma.
Where?
El Periodico Mediterraneo.
What?
Villarreal forward Arnaut Danjuma continues to be linked with Liverpool in fresh reports.
A few weeks ago Marca reported that Villarreal are prepared to sell their star attacker after failing to qualify for next season's Champions League. The Yellow Submarine signed the Dutch international for €25m last summer from Bournemouth and he scored 16 goals and added four assists in 34 appearances across La Liga and Europe’s premier club competition.
Spanish newspaper El Periodico Mediterraneo has now reported that the 25-year-old is keen to leave the club and has insisted Villarreal must accept any adequate offers for his services.
He is valued at £40m and is also linked with Newcastle, Manchester United, PSG and Arsenal, but prefers a move to the Reds.
He recently told Ziggo Sport in an interview: “I was informed that Liverpool was following me closely. I will never lie and I think it is a bad quality if you are not ambitious. If a club appeared that offered me a higher platform to play in sports terms, I would always have to consider it.”
If he does move, Danjuma would hope to fill the void left by Divock Origi’s departure, with further uncertainty over the futures of Sadio Mane and Takumi Minamino.
Who?
Serge Gnabry.
Where?
Football London.
What?
Liverpool have reportedly joined the race for Bayern Munich’s Serge Gnabry. The former Arsenal youngster is out of contract at the end of next season, and in a similar situation to the one that the Reds find themselves in with Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah, is yet to extend his deal.
He has just helped the Bundesliga club to win their 10th league title in a row, scoring 17 times and contributing 10 assists in all competitions. The German international played for Arsenal between 2012-2016 and has also been linked with a return to the Emirates.
However, the report goes on to explain that Liverpool are only likely to make a move for Gnabry if Mane moves on.
Who?
Ousmane Dembele.
Where?
Nacional.
What?
Liverpool have stepped up their efforts to sign Ousmane Dembele, according to reports.
The French international, who joined Barcelona from Borussia Dortmund for a rumoured €145m in 2017, is set to leave the Catalan club once his contract expires at the end of June. Spanish newspaper Sport reported earlier this week that the Reds have made an approach to sign Dembele.
And now, another Spanish source, Nacional, have reported that Barcelona manager Xavi is desperate to keep the Frenchman at the club and has made a last ditch attempt to retain the forward who doesn’t want to stay at the Camp Nou. The Reds are rumoured to have met his £197,000 a week wage demands.
However, they are one of a number of clubs chasing his signature and are likely to face stiff competition from Bayern Munich, PSG and Chelsea, although Dembele is reportedly keen to play in the Premier League.
According to Four Four Two, Liverpool tried to bring Dembele to Anfield back in 2016, but he chose Dortmund, and now they are attempting to sign him again as they look to restock their forward options.
