Take it or leave it: Lallana could well be a Red before the World Cup
Here's our round-up of all the transfer tittle-tattle from Anfield from Saturday's newspapers and across the web...
A £4m fee has now been agreed with the Southampton striker set for a medical later today.
Mirror Sport revealed the surprise deal on Thursday night and the 32-year-old could now be a Reds player as soon as Monday.
Moreno deal nears
Joining him at Anfield could well be Spanish defender Alberto Moreno .
The Reds have submitted a formal offer for the exciting left back that will total around £20m, consisting of a £15m fee, plus their young midfielder Suso.
And his club Sevilla have indicated they are ready to do business, by paving the way for Moreno to talk terms before he departs to the United States next week, ahead of World Cup duty.
Moreno played for Spain in a friendly against Boliva last night on his home ground in Sevilla, and is due to fly out to Maryland for a training camp, before national team coach Vicente Del Bosque makes his final selection for Brazil.
The Reds hope to agree a deal in principle before then, paving the way for a real transfer coup, as they steal a march on the top Spanish clubs for a player rated as the future of the national team.
Vorm not swanning off just yet
Michel Vorm has played down talk of a move to Liverpool, despite Lukasz Fabianski's arrival at Swansea.
Safe hands: Vorm insists he is happy to stay in Wales
The Pole will join the Swans when the transfer window opens on a free, but Vorm is content to stay and fight for his place.
"It may be that Swansea are already responding to my [reported] departure," he told Sky Sports News. "But then there must be [an offer]. As long as that is not the case, Fabianski and I will have to fight. I do not necessarily have to leave.
"I didn't know they were planning to sign [Fabianski], I can honestly tell you. At Swansea City I can see the club is growing and there is competition for everyone, and that also applies to me.
"Fabianski was a free agent, which I understood, and he has signed for four years and the present situation is that I will be there after the summer, so I have competition."
Saturday's Liverpool stories from other newspapers and websites
Take it or leave it
The Reds have made a final take it or leave it offer for Adam Lallana .
The BBC report the bid tabled is in the region of £25m with the Reds prepared to move on from the deal should it not be accepted.
Boss Brendan Rodgers is ready to move on to alternative targets should the Saints rebuff this final effort.
The 26-year-old played 73 minutes against Peru at Wembley on Friday night - the Reds are anxious to tie up any switch before the World Cup begins in a fortnight's time.
Southampton turned down a £20m bid for their captain earlier this month and remain keen to keep hold of one of their star men.
Chile source?
The Reds are ready to launch a £20m move for Barca star Alexis Sanchez .
Red hot: Sanchez's future is the subject of intense interest this summer
The Daily Star report that with Rodgers closing in on Lambert as his first summer signing he is now turning his attentions to the Chilean flyer.
The Catalan giants are determined to keep hold of the 25-year-old but Rodgers is ready to test their resolve with a hefty bid.
It is thought a considerable increase on his current £90,000 per week terms could swing a deal their way.
Pasto no go
One man who is unlikely to be running out at Anfield this season is Javier Pastore .
The PSG playmaker has been strongly linked with a move away from the French capital with the Reds known admirers.
But the Argentine's agent has moved quickly to quash such talk.
"There is no possibility that Pastore will return to Italy next season," Pastore's agent Marcelo Simonian told Tutto Mercato.
"Pastore will remain 100 percent at Paris Saint-Germain."
