STARSPORT brings you the latest news coming out of Anfield.
Porto have confirmed the signing of Joao Teixeira from Liverpool.
The Portuguese midfielder leaves the Reds after four years at the club having rejected their offer of a contract extension.
Porto chairman Jorge Nuno Pinto da Costa said: “We have high hopes for João Teixeira, for his talent, his youth, and his eagerness to sign for FC Porto, as – were he not a fan of the club – he would have signed for a big Italian club as Fiorentina, one of the clubs keeping an eye on him.
"He was a free player, so he was the one making the decision of signing for us, which pleases us and gives us a guarantee that he will join this team body and soul; he will surely be an asset."
Piotr Zielinski's agent has told Radio CRC there is no chance the midfielder will join Napoli.
Liverpool are battling the Serie A side for the Poland international and have made a £9.5m bid for the 22-year-old.
Napoli's president Aurelio de Laurentiis claimed over the weekend he had reached an agreement with Udinese for a transfer but Bartlomiej Bolek insists his client will not be going to Naples.
He said: "To be honest, there is no chance that the player can go to Napoli."
Liverpool have had a £20m bid for Sporting Lisbon forward Islam Slimani rejected, according to Noticias ao Minuto.
The 27-year-old scored 32 goals in all competitions last season and is reported to be also interesting Arsenal, Leicester, Tottenham and Lazio.
The report claims both Liverpool and Arsenal bid £20m for the Algerian but Sporting will not sell unless his £24m release clause, which expires on June 30, is activated.
