Liverpool transfer news and rumors today LIVE: Joao Gomes move, Akliouche race, Alonso latest

Liverpool will soon fully turn its attention towards the summer transfer window — although it has the small matter of securing Champions League qualification to sort out first before it can think about making any new signings.

The Reds are still three points off guaranteeing a top-five finish in the Premier League, and with only two games remaining, it makes for a much more nervous end to the season than many would have hoped for.

The mood inside Anfield is certainly not too positive at the moment, as the boos on Saturday against Chelsea made clear. The Reds take on Aston Villa next.

Despite the boos, Liverpool looks to be sticking by Arne Slot, with the Dutchman even going so far as to make promises about this summer and next season, having insisted that we will "100 per cent" see a different level of performance next season.

With Slot seemingly staying put, that has enabled the Reds' rivals to pounce on Xabi Alonso. The latest reports indicate that Chelsea is exploring a deal to hire the former midfielder as its new manager, which would no doubt sting a little for a lot of Liverpool fans.
