Hello and welcome to the Liverpool ECHO's Liverpool FC transfer news live blog on Wednesday, May 6.
Liverpool face another stern test this weekend as they host Chelsea in the Premier League, looking to respond after the 3-2 defeat at Manchester United. Despite the defeat, their push for Champions League football received a significant boost on Monday when Chelsea were mathematically eliminated from the race for a top‑five finish following a 3-1 loss to Nottingham Forest.
Bournemouth, Brentford and Brighton are now the only teams with any chance of breaking into the current top five. Liverpool and Aston Villa sit fourth and fifth respectively on 58 points, meaning both remain within reach of those chasing clubs.
Off the pitch, a pivotal summer awaits after a disappointing campaign. Andy Robertson and Mohamed Salah are the current confirmed departures at end of the season while Yan Diomande, Bradley Barcola, Adam Wharton and Marcos Senesi have all been linked with moves to Liverpool.
Stay with us throughout the day on the Echo for all the latest Liverpool transfer news and rumours.
