It could be a very hectic deadline day as far as Liverpool are concerned.

Liverpool look set for a busy end to the summer transfer window as Andoni Iraola looks to fine-tune his squad ahead of Tuesday's deadline. It had been a relatively subdued period for the Reds until last week, when it emerged they were negotiating on a number of fronts. They announced their biggest signing of the window on Monday, when Bradley Barcola officially arrived at Anfield in a deal worth around £123million.
He won't be the last player to join the Reds before the window closes, though. Liverpool are still in the market for another winger, with Ismaila Sarr high on their list of attacking targets. Several players could also leave the club ahead of the all-important deadline, but there is precious little time remaining to finalise those potential deals.
The marquee deal for Liverpool on deadline day would be to complete the signing of Sarr, who remains eager to leave Crystal Palace.
Talks are still believed to be ongoing, with a full agreement yet to be reached. As a result, it seems the proposed move could go right down to the wire.
If talks fall through in the coming hours, Liverpool could pursue a late swoop for Stuttgart forward Jamie Leweling, who is reportedly among the other names under consideration.
However, they won't be the only club in the race, with Sky Sports Germany reporting that Everton and Roma are also keen.
Alongside their efforts to strengthen the first-team squad, Liverpool have been negotiating moves for two young players with huge potential.
They have agreed a £30m package to sign teenage goalkeeper Lucca Brughmans, who is six feet and seven inches tall, from Belgian side Genk.

Liverpool are also in the process of finalising a move for Saint-Etienne striker Djylian N'Guessan, having reportedly booked a medical for the 18-year-old.
Both players are expected to join the Reds squad in the summer of 2027, although Brughmans could arrive sooner if Giorgi Mamardashvili leaves before the deadline.
A number of players could still leave Anfield before the window slams shut, though Cody Gakpo won't be among them.
He was heavily linked with a move to Manchester City, but Liverpool opted to keep the Dutchman despite receiving an £80m bid.
James McConnell looks set to join Championship side Preston North End on loan, while the future of Federico Chiesa could also be a topic of discussion in the final hours of the window.
The experienced Italian has been tipped to leave Liverpool throughout the summer, but nothing appears to be imminent at this stage. It remains to be seen whether any late offers will be submitted as the deadline approaches.
