Liverpool 'want' former PSG star to replace Mohamed Salah as £50m Manchester United battle emerges

The international break is almost over and Liverpool are back in Premier League action on Saturday, April 2 as they take on struggling Watford at Anfield. A win will take the Reds to the top of the league as Manchester City kick off later in the day at Burnley.

April is littered with huge matches for Jurgen Klopp's side as they face a season defining month while competing in three different competitions. The Reds face a vital trip to Manchester City and play the same opponent in the semi-final of the FA Cup. Liverpool will take on Benfica in the quarter-finals of the Champions League in the same month.

Klopp will need his players to be fully fit and raring to go as Liverpool embark on a journey that could end in them being the first British club to win all four major trophies in a season.

Here are the latest transfer rumours for Liverpool from around the web on Tuesday, March 29.
