As the Reds prepare to face Wolverhampton Wanderers at Anfield on Wednesday evening, here are your Liverpool evening headlines for Monday, February 27.
Liverpool three-stage plan exposes Luis Diaz swap and Mohamed Salah exit rumours
With speculation over the futures of both Luis Diaz and Mohamed Salah surprisingly rising to the surface on Monday, it would be tempting to suggest that silly season is now well underway.
The truth however, when it comes to the peculiar business of transfer reporting, is that it never really went anywhere. That the names of both Salah and Diaz were still brought up on the interminable rumour mill was still a shock, though.
