Liverpool may not be in action this week thanks to the international break, but it is simply a case of the calm before the storm with a mega run of eight huge fixtures on the horizon in April.
Jurgen Klopp's squad will be tested to the limit with double back-to-back encounters with Benfica and Manchester City before traditionally important league matches against Manchester United and Everton.
The Reds' squad has never looked stronger, but winners never stand still, so let's take a look at the latest transfer rumours doing the rounds on the information super highway this morning.

Who?
Raphinha
Where?
Why?
Liverpool have already made an offer to Leeds United to sign their talented winger Raphinha, according to Spanish newspaper Sport.
Having scored 15 times and delivered 12 assists in 59 appearances for United, the Brazilian is one of the top targets in Europe this summer. The Reds face competition from Barcelona, who are using the influence of former player Dani Alves to try and convince 25-year-old Raphinha that he should move to La Liga, but it appears to be Liverpool who have made the first move, even before Mohamed Salah's contract situation has been settled.
Who?
Divock Origi
Where?
Fabrizio Romano.
Why?
Liverpool have no intention of offering Divock Origi a new contract at the end of the season, according to journalist Fabrizio Romano.
Origi, who despite only being part of the supporting cast in Liverpool's front line, has earned hero status for scoring important goals in big matches including a Champions League-winning goal, has been in talks with AC Milan about a move to Serie A next season and a deal appears to moving closer. Still only 26, Origi can make the switch to the San Siro for free when his contract expires.
Posting on Twitter, Romano said: “More on Divock Origi. Liverpool have no plans to extend his contract and he wants to try a new challenge. AC Milan are confident to complete the agreement soon. Talks are progressing with his agents, final details to be discussed in the next (few) days.”
Who?
Nicolo Zaniolo
Where?
Why?
Roma midfielder Nicolo Zaniolo is understood to have had a falling out with manager Jose Mourinho and is now considering a move away from the Italian club. Zaniolo was left out by the former Manchester United, Chelsea and Spurs boss for the Rome derby against Lazio at the weekend, much to his disgust.
The relationship between the pair appears to have broken down and as a consequence, the 22-year-old is starting to look elsewhere. According to Roma Live, Liverpool have already approached I Giallorossi to enquire about Zaniolo's availability. He is likely to attract a transfer fee of around 70milllion euros.
