Liverpool take brutal call on title winner in a ruthless twist
Liverpool are prepared to sell several of their title heroes from last season, but are playing a game of cat-and-mouse with certain stars.

“They’re not pushing to do it. Not that they won’t do it, but he’s got two years left, and because he’s 28, it looks like, ‘well, we’ll just see how things go’. Whether that involves Saudi Arabia coming in with a bid for £85m, then you go, hmm…”
