A round-up of the latest transfer news surrounding Liverpool.
Liverpool have already signed one winger this summer having brought in Roma’s Mohamed Salah in a club-record transfer last week – but they may have to wait for another wide man.
The Reds have been linked with Julian Brandt throughout Jurgen Klopp’s time as manager, but the Bayer Leverkusen star won’t be on the move this summer.

The Independent carry quotes from Brandt in which he states that he won’t be joining another club just yet, as he wants to guarantee that he plays regular first-team football in a World Cup year.
They do though add that Liverpool could rekindle their interest in Brandt next year, when they would have to battle Bayern Munich for his signature.
Much depends on how Salah fares in his first season at Anfield, but with four goals and eight assists last term, 21-year-old Brandt appears set for a bright future.
Elsewhere, Salah’s arrival may just force a Liverpool winger out of the club, with The Mirror claiming that Liverpool are willing to sell Lazar Markovic for £12million – a fraction of what they paid to sign him from Benfica in 2014.

The Serbian wide man has struggled to make an impact with Liverpool, but did flash quality on loan at Hull City earlier this year, following loan spells with Fenerbahce and Sporting Lisbon.
Markovic, 23, is allegedly wanted by Watford – managed by his former Hull boss Marco Silva – as well as Galatasaray and Zenit St. Petersburg, with Liverpool seemingly ready to cut their losses.
