Here's our round-up of all the latest Reds-related stories from today's Mirror and the rumours across the web...
Cavani yes?
Liverpool have been offered a glimmer of hope in their quest to land Edinson Cavani.
The Reds' boss Brendan Rodgers is a huge fan of the striker and, the star’s agent has revealed, made an inquiry earlier this summer as he looked to instantly replace Barcelona-bound Luis Suarez.
The Paris Saint-Germain forward will command a huge salary and a big money transfer just a year after moving to the French cpital from Italians Napoli for a reported £53million fee, but it seems that hasn’t put off the Anfield outfit.
Cavani’s agent, Claudio Annelluci is reported in Uruguay newspaper El Telegrafo as explaining that there are offers on the table from the Reds and Premier League rivals Arsenal.
“There was much interest in the player during the past six months. I can confirm that Cavani has heard proposals from Liverpool and Arsenal,” he said.
“He would love to play in England, but has not yet made a final decision. He is not interested in money and fame, he just wants to be happy playing football.”
Falcao no?
Liverpool made an audacious enquiry for Radamel Falcao last week - but have admitted defeat in their blockbuster chase for the Monaco man.
The Reds, in need of forward reinforcements following Luis Suarez's £75million move to Barcelona, are keen on a marquee addition up front.
And they saw the Colombian hitman as the perfect option with the 28-year-old believed to be increasingly unsettled in the principality.
But when asking about the striker's availability the Anfield top brass were told he was heading elsewhere this summer.
Real Madrid have been strongly linked with an unlikely loan move with a fee of £10m mooted for a year.
Friday's Liverpool stories from other newspapers and websites
Red missed
Jamie McDonald 
Liverpool could be set to miss out on Ezequiel Lavezzi after they hesitate over his personal terms.
Brendan Rodgers is firmly in the market for forward reinforcements this summer after Luis Suarez's £75m move to Barcelona.
And the Argentine flyer is thought to be high on his wishlist with rumours abound he is set to leave PSG.
The Reds are interested but have grown hesitant after it emerged he wants a long-term deal worth over £20m according to the Express.
Add to that a fee in the region of £18m and he looks an expensive addition at 29 years of age.
Moves like moving on?
Daniel Agger's future will be resolved by the end of next week according to the Telegraph.
Both Barcelona and Arsenal are believed to be keen on the Danish defender with the player himself desperate to leave.
The Reds are yet to receive any formal offers for him as yet but are keen to sort the issue out prior to the start of the season.
Agger made 20 league appearances last term but the arrival of Dejan Lovren is likely to see him shunted further down the pecking order.
Italian job
The drawn out sago over whether Fabio Borini will sign for Sunderland is continuing to drag on.
The Italian is yet to make a firm decision despite seeing a bid accepted by the Reds over a fortnight ago.
The Black Cats remain keen according to the Journal but Borini is still thought to favour an Anfield stay.
The 23-year-old feels he can carve out a career on Merseyside despite a number of attacking additions this summer.
