Beyond them, Andoni Iraola is looking to add another winger to help replace Mohamed Salah, while a midfield addition and another signing in the backline could follow.Several targets continue to be linked with a move across those positions, while a few exits could be on the cards to help raise funds for the transfer spend that is expected.So, with that said, here's a look at the latest Liverpool transfer news and rumors ahead of another busy day of action in the market.Yan Diomande (RB Leipzig)Liverpool doesn't seem to be giving up on Yan Diomande just yet.

However, there may still be some concerns over such a move.If Diomande doesn't join PSG, then that confirmation may come later in the window, at which point you may hope that Liverpool has moved onto other targets.
On top of that, there is the knowledge that he seemingly rejected Liverpool, at a moment where Iraola will need players who actively want to play for the club... perhaps it's time to move on.Curtis Jones (Liverpool)Liverpool ace Curtis Jones continues to be linked with a move to Inter Milan this summer, as he enters the final year of his contract at Anfield.According to Gazzetta dello Sport, the Nerazzurri remains interested in a deal for the midfielder this summer, despite a rejected offer, but he isn't the current priority.Instead, Inter is looking to get a deal over the line for Djed Spence, who has been linked with Liverpool, before switching focus to Jones once again.Curtis Jones has been linked with a move away from Liverpool this summer(Image: Naomi Baker/Getty Images)Any deal could be dependent on outgoings from the San Siro in the market.Liverpool.com says: The Curtis Jones saga looks like one that is set to drag out over the next month or two. The midfielder's contract situation means that teams will try and land a bargain, even with Liverpool's valuation set.It means there are key decisions to come for the academy graduate, whether that comes as a move away or a potential contract extension.
