With just three days to go until the Reds are back in action, it's time for your Liverpool FC evening headlines on Wednesday, March 29.
Liverpool could complete first signing of the summer before transfer window even opens
Liverpool have signed just seven players on free transfers during Jurgen Klopp’s reign at Anfield, but recent reports suggest the Reds could add to that tally this summer.
Jude Bellingham remains their first-choice target, and would cost a club-record fee over £100m if Liverpool were to lure him to Anfield. Meanwhile, plotting a midfield revamp, the England international wouldn’t be the only new arrival in the engine-room, if signed, with the Reds continuing to find themselves linked with Matheus Nunes and Mason Mount.

But now reports suggest Liverpool could make a move for Eintracht Frankfurt defender Evan Ndicka.
The 23-year-old is a pacey left-sided centre-back, who can also cover at left-back or in defensive midfield. A Europa League winner with Eintracht Frankfurt last season, he earned valuable Champions League experience with the Bundesliga outfit during the current campaign as a result.
Standing at 6ft 3, he is a threat at set-pieces and scored four goals in the Bundesliga last season. Meanwhile, he’s also comfortable on the ball and played alongside Reds defender Ibrahima Konate before for France in their youth ranks.

Liverpool flop who signed for £10.5m is having season of his career and can't stop scoring
Brendan Rodgers' first signing as Liverpool manager did not work out at Anfield, but 10-and-a-half years after walking into Melwood, he is making waves in Turkey.
Fabio Borini joined Liverpool from Roma in July 2012, in a deal worth £10.5million. The Italian later revealed that fellow countryman Mario Balotelli was partly responsible for helping him to agree to the move after he told him that the Reds had the most 'exciting fans'.
But injury and loss of form saw the former Chelsea forward make only 25 appearances for the Reds scoring just three times over two seasons, with a season-long loan at Sunderland in-between. Eventually, he would join the Black Cats on a permanent deal, bringing his somewhat insignificant Anfield career to a close.
But his time on Merseyside was not wasted off the pitch, as it was in Liverpool that he met his now wife Erin.
Borini's goal return since leaving Liverpool suggests that the Reds were right to cut their losses when they did, but as the Bologna-born attacker turns 32 today, he is in the form of his life.
After spells at AC Milan and Verona following his departure from the North East in 2017, Borini joined Turkish Super Lig side Fatih Karagümrük. Now into his third season, the arrival of former gli Azzurri hero Andrea Pirlo as manager appears to have taken his game to another level.
