After a hugely difficult week for all involved at Liverpool following the tragic death of Diogo Jota, the Reds are preparing for their first pre-season outing this weekend.

Arne Slot's side will face Preston on Sunday, having returned to training earlier this week as tributes continue to flood in for Jota and his brother Andre Silva at Anfield and beyond.

With Liverpool beginning to return to something close to normality, the transfer rumors have once again been emerging, with plenty of big names continuing to be linked with a move to Merseyside.

Speculation has been growing over Luis Diaz's future, with reports in Germany suggesting Bayern Munich is stepping up its efforts to sign the Colombian, despite Liverpool making it clear he is not for sale at any price.
