We round up the latest Liverpool transfer rumours on Monday, July 2.
Mohamed Salah has signed a new long-term contract at Liverpool and the Daily Mirror claim his team-mate Sadio Mane has been offered a bumper new deal at Anfield.
Salah has reportedly committed his future to the club until 2023 and the Mirror's Northern Football Correspondent David Maddock claims a similar deal is on the table for Mane.
Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp remains interested in Roma goalkeeper Alisson but has not targeted Barcelona back-up Jasper Cillessen as an option if the Brazil No 1 heads elsewhere this summer, according to the Daily Express.
The Reds remain in the hunt for a new goalkeeper with Simon Mignolet and Loris Karius being unable to prove themselves as the undisputed No1.
Sticking with the Express and they claim Liverpool and Arsenal have been handed a boost in their pursuit of Sporting Lisbon's Gelson Martins.
The 23-year-old's agent has downplayed rumours linking the winger with a move to Sporting's arch rivals Benfica, leaving the door open to a move to the Premier League.
"Being the agent of Gelson Martins, I have as a top priority his tranquility, and maximum concentration to be able to do what he knows, professional football," agent Ulisses Santos wrote on Facebook.
"For this reason, and considering the sports media agenda has been very busy around his future, I come to inform you that Martins' next club will not be SL Benfica."
