Liverpool have placed a price tag of £7m on striker Taiwo Awoniyi this summer, with there plenty of interest from the Championship and Germany. [@neiljonesgoal]

Liverpool are looking outside of the Premier League this summer for a potential midfield signing.

While the likes of Youri Tielemans and John McGinn are admired, their price tags make deals unviable. [@JamesPearceLFC]

Liverpool have put price tags on various fringe players this summer:

Harry Wilson: £15m
Xherdan Shaqiri: £15m
Neco Williams: £10m
Marko Grujic: £15m

Potentially £55m raises would then be spent on a new midfielder. [The Mirror]

There’s optimism about the Saúl-Griezmann swap but it’s far from a done deal. No agreement between Barcelona and Atleti on compensation and no agreement between Saúl and Barcelona - and Saúl’s camp is waiting for an offer from Premier League.

Marko Grujic is Sassuolo's main target to replace Manuel Locatelli, should the Italy international leave this summer. Sassuolo head of recruitment Davide Cangini is a long-standing admirer of Grujic since his time on the scouting team at Atalanta. [sky]

Barca and Atletico have tried to advance in negotiations for the Saul-Griezmann swap but no agreement yet. Problem is that Atleti want Barca to pay part of Griezmann’s huge wages, and Barca are reluctant to do so.

Negotiations for a swap between Griezmann and Saul have currently stalled!

@rac1 @gerardromero

Potential return dates:

• Jordan Henderson: W/C August 2

• Alisson, Fabinho, Firmino: W/C August 2

• Thiago: Around July 27

• Diogo Jota: W/C July 19

• Shaqiri: Around July 23

• Neco Williams, Harry Wilson: W/C July 19

Liverpool have joined the race for Lyon playmaker Houssem Aouar. The Ligue 1 club want to offload the player. Liverpool have been following Aouar's progress for a while and could be tempted to make an offer. [espn]

However, Liverpool's relationship with Lyon has not been the same since they tried to sign striker Nabil Fekir in 2018 but the deal failed to materialise, as per @ESPNFC

Manchester United, Spurs and Arsenal are also chasing Aouar, as per @ESPNFC

Sassuolo have expressed an interest in signing Marko Grujic on a permanent deal. The Serie A side have made the Serbian their top target to replace Manuel Locatelli. [@dmlynch]

Grujic is valued at €15m by Liverpool. The 25-year-old is also still wanted by Porto, as per @dmlynch

@ptgorst: "If Nat Phillips is sold - and the club are relaxed about that, it's basically down to the player himself - then they would use those funds elsewhere." [liverpool echo]

@ptgorst: "Liverpool value their players based on market trends. It's how they got £23m for Rhian Brewster, basing it on the £28m Villa paid for Ollie Watkins. Michael Edwards will be determined to get top dollar for anyone heading out the door." [liverpool echo]

@ptgorst: "I think he will have some fans on the recruitment team. I am not sure how good the two clubs' relationship is with one another after that [Nabil Fekir] mess, however. One to keep an eye on though." [liverpool echo]

@ptgorst: "I still expect a midfielder and a forward to arrive but I think the focus is on getting some of the fringe players shifted first." [liverpool echo]

Lazio have submitted a €10m + €2m in add-ons offer for Xherdan Shaqiri, although Liverpool are holding out for around €15m. [La Lazio Siamo Noi]

The Saúl-Griezmann barter cools down. At the moment it has not fallen but it is getting cold. The clubs have not reached an agreement yet. Saul continues to have two Premier clubs very attentive to him.

Liverpool are the 'most enthusiastic’ about getting Saul to sign this summer.
