Here's a look at your Liverpool morning headlines for a very sunny Friday March 25.
Divock Origi exit could spark £350m warning for Mohamed Salah and Liverpool
Divock Origi has survived the Liverpool axe a number of times over the years. The Belgian has found himself repeatedly linked with a Reds exit summer after summer, only to find himself still at Anfield each time the transfer window closed.
Yet with his contract set to expire in 2022, it looks like the Liverpool cult hero’s rollercoaster Reds career might finally be coming to an end. The latest reports suggest he has agreed terms on a switch to AC Milan and will leave Anfield on a Bosman transfer in the summer. Even if such a move is not forthcoming, he looks certain to depart the club regardless.

Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino, Naby Keita and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain's contracts all expire next year, leaving them free to discuss pre-contract agreements with overseas clubs in January. To date, there has been limited movement on them staying put at Anfield.
It has been well-publicised that the Egyptian and the Reds are yet to agree terms on a new deal, with the player’s agent making it clear he currently has no intention of signing the offer on the table. Meanwhile, Klopp has spoken publicly of his desire for Keita to sign a new contract, but the futures of the quintet, admittedly some more than others, remains uncertain.

Diogo Jota and Luis Diaz send Liverpool reminder in impressive fashion
Diogo Jota carried his fine Liverpool goal scoring form into the international break as he scored Portugal's second goal in their 3-1 win over Turkey in the World Cup Qualifiers Play-Offs. Meanwhile, Reds new boy Luis Diaz copied Jota in scoring for his nation after opening the scoring in Colombia's 3-0 win over Bolivia.
Jota has scored 19 times in all competitions for the Reds this season and he found himself starting in a forward two for Portugal alongside Manchester United star man Cristiano Ronaldo in Porto's Estadio do Dragao.
Portugal's World Cup ambitions took a step closer to being realised after their win set up a winner takes all final against North Macedonia - who beat European champions Italy 1-0 in what was a result that shocked the footballing world.
In South America, Diaz helped Colombia keep alive their slim hopes of joining Jota in Qatar after he produced a sublime goal to open the scoring against Bolovia. With confidence already soaring high after his move from Porto at the end of January, Reds fans are hoping Diaz is the deciding factor in the Premier League title race.
