Liverpool target willing to 'run down' deal as Rodyrgo meeting planned
Liverpool's work in the transfer window may not be over as speculation over Luis Diaz, Darwin Nunez, Marc Guehi and Rodrygo continues as Arne Slot prepares his squad for the season Liverpool set the pace in the transfer window earlier in the summer by making the first and most extravagant moves. Florian Wirtz arrived at Anfield in a record deal and joined Bayer Leverkusen team-mate Jeremie Frimpong at the club after Trent Alexander-Arnold depart for Real Madrid. Milos Kerkez also arrived at the club from Bournemouth as the Reds' spending exceeded £200million, with Giorgi Mamardashvili to finally join from Valencia after a deal was made last summer. But the club have been frugal too with goalkeeping additions in Freddie Woodman on a free transfer and Armin Pecsi from Puskas FC for a modest fee. Exits have seen the Reds start to claim some of that money back. Jarell Quansah moved to Bayer Leverkusen for a healthy price, while Liverpool were able to cash in on Caomhin Kelleher and Nat Phillips to Brentford and West Brom respectively. And the business is not yet complete. There is still the suggestion that Arne Slot requires a forwad and a new defender, while speculation remains over the futures of Luis Diaz, Darwin Nunez and Ibrahima Konate. Mirror Football takes a look at the latest news and transfer rumours surrounding the club. Diaz latest Spanish news outlet SPORT claims it appearrs Hansi Flick and Barcelona are ready to 'throw in the towel' in their bid to sign Luis Diaz. The Catalan club, led by sporting director Deco, have shown interest in Liverpool's star, who has just two years remaining on his contract. But the La Liga giants are unwilling to meet a suggested €80million (£69million) asking price. Anfield chiefs are said to be uninterested in doing a deal for the Colombian. It is claimed Diaz will not push for the move at this stage and Barcelona have made contact with the player but not made an official approach to Liverpool. Despite competition from Bayern Munich, Barca seem most likely to see if an opportunity arises later in the window. Liverpool patience If last summer's lack of transfer business showed anything, it was perhaps that Liverpool have patience to make the correct moves. And now that might be part of their thinking once again in landing a new defender. The position is among the club's priorities and there has been talk of a move for Crystal Palace star Marc Guehi. Chronicle Live report the England international is willing to run down the year remaning on his contract. With it previously suggested the ex-Chelsea academy product prefers a move to Anfield over other suitors, that could play well into Liverpool hands. Rodrygo meeting Rodrygo's future could be decided next week with reports claiming a meeting is pencilled in to discuss his future. Real Madrid are open to seeing the Brazilian exit and are leaving the final decision in the player's hands. The 24-year-old is said to be uninterested in a move to Saudi side Al-Nassr and Rodrygo remains focused on staying in Europe. Arsenal have been persistently linked with a potential move, while Liverpool have historical interest. Should Luis Diaz depart Anfield, the Reds could make a move. Former player Fernando Morientes has claimed the player is suited to the Premier League. "But it's true that Rodrygo has Premier League qualities," he said. "Open games, games with space, games with limited resources where he has to navigate in short spaces, a player with tremendous quality and individual talent that can do both. I'd like to see him in the Premier League, and I'd like to see him at Liverpool to see how he performs in that league."

Adolis Garcia, Wyatt Langford homer to lead Rangers past Astros
July 12 - Adolis Garcia and Wyatt Langford clubbed home runs while Jack Leiter pitched effectively into the sixth inning as the visiting Texas Rangers banged out a 7-3 victory over the suddenly reeling Houston Astros on Friday in the opener of a three-game series. The Rangers improved to 4-4 on their season-long, 10-game homestand. They did so by pouncing on Astros right-hander Lance McCullers Jr. (2-4), who continued to struggle with inconsistency following his return from a two-season injury absence. McCullers labored through a 36-pitch top of the first inning and never fully recovered. Langford extended the opening frame with an infield single that loaded the bases with two outs and set the table for Evan Carter, whose two-run single got the Rangers on the board. Carter claimed he was hit by a McCullers pitch earlier in that same at-bat, but Texas lost its replay challenge. After limiting the damage to a pair of runs in the first and working around a one-out walk in the second, McCullers came undone in the third. Garcia blasted a 425-foot home run to straightaway center with one out in the frame, extending the lead to 3-1 with his 12th homer. The Rangers then delivered another timely two-out hit, this one coming from Jonah Heim, whose double eluded Astros right fielder Cam Smith and scored Carter and Jake Burger. Heim was erased trying to reach third on the hit, but the damage was done. McCullers allowed five runs on six hits and two walks with five strikeouts over three innings. Leiter (5-6) allowed a run-scoring groundout to Christian Walker in the bottom of the first and a two-run homer to Victor Caratini in the fourth that pulled the Astros to within 5-3. But Leiter ended the second, fourth and fifth innings with strikeouts, all on called third strikes. He allowed three runs on five hits and four walks with six strikeouts over 5 1/3 innings. Langford socked a two-run homer, his 15th, off Astros reliever Ryan Gusto in the seventh. The Astros have dropped four consecutive home games following a 5-1 road trip that put them a season-high 20 games over .500. --Field Level Media

Rangers make 'progress' on target as update provided
Manager Russell Martin had earlier stated he hoped there would be an announcement on signing the winger from Sheffield Wednesday soon. He told how how everything was "done" from Rangers' end but there were awaiting confirmation from the English Championship side, who are experiencing financial difficulties. Some reports have suggested owner Dejphon Chansiri was looking to attract higher bidders. But now, Sheffield Star are reporting that progress has been made. Speaking at his press conference earlier, Martin had said: "I think it's all done our end. "I think with Sheffield Wednesday and the difficulties they are experiencing, which is tough for them. Obviously, we've been here this week with them and I know a few of their guys and played with a couple of them and worked with a few of their staff members as well. "It's difficult for them. So we're waiting on their end to be sorted, but I think we fully expect Gas to be our player, hopefully very soon. "Yeah, yeah [he is a player that excites me]. He's different to what we've got. I think we need a point of difference in the squad. We need a few and he'll be one of them, hopefully."
