EXPRESS SPORT brings you the latest transfer news coming out of Anfield.
Mario Balotelli - Spotlight On
Liverpool will reportedly listen to offers for Lucas Leiva.
The Brazil international has been deemed surplus to requirements at Anfield.
ESPNFC claim the Reds will consider bids of around £8million for the 28-year-old.
Lucas was not part of the matchday squad as Liverpool beat Stoke 1-0 on Sunday.
West Ham legend Paolo Di Canio thinks Mario Balotelli has a job on his hands to salvage his Liverpool career.
Balotelli has struggled to live up to expectations since moving to Anfield in a £16million deal last summer.
Lucas could be on the move this summer
And Di Canio fears for Balotelli's future, as he said: "That doesn’t mean off the pitch in a bar, but being generous on the pitch. I hope he’ll recover, but I can imagine it’ll be very difficult, as he spends to much time on social media.
“It seems like he uses football to be a celebrity, rather than the opposite.”
Liverpool - Most Expensive Transfers
The Reds are reportedly set to sign Nigerian striker Taiwo Awoniyi.
Awoniyi turns 18 on Wednesday and reports in Africa suggest he will arrive on Merseyside this week to have a medical and put pen to paper on a professional contract.
