Liverpool have all but confirmed their participation in the Champions League<\/a> next season, but fans will expect an emphatic win to secure their place in Europe. The Reds are in fifth place in the Premier League<\/a> table and would only drop to the Europa League<\/a> if they lost and Bournemouth<\/a> reversed a goal difference deficit against Nottingham Forest<\/a>, with Liverpool’s currently six better off.<\/p>\n

Arne Slot’s side host Brentford at Anfield on Sunday afternoon, with the manager refusing to confirm<\/a> if Mohamed Salah<\/a> will be included in the starting XI. The 33-year-old hasn’t minced his words ahead of his Anfield farewell, sparking some calls for him to be left out.<\/p>\n

The Liverpool<\/a> icon has had his run-ins with Slot this season, but the Dutch boss refuses to allow this to derail his team selection<\/a> for Sunday. Slot said: “I don’t think it is that important what I feel about it.<\/p>\n

“What is important is that we qualify for the Champions League on Sunday and I prepare Mo and the whole team in the best possible way for the game. I was very disappointed after our loss against Villa because a win would have given us qualification for the Champions League which we didn’t get.<\/p>\n

Contract prepared for \u00a3103m target<\/p>\n

RB Leipzig are preparing to offer Liverpool target Yan Diomande a new contract to ward off interest for the winger. The 19-year-old appeared on the Reds’ radar after moving to Germany last summer in a deal worth around \u00a317million.<\/p>\n

Sky Germany<\/a> reports that Leipzig are responding to interest from the Premier League by preparing a huge contract for Diomande. The teenager is already tied down until 2030 but the Bundesliga side are keen to protect one of their biggest assets.<\/p>\n

Reports indicate that no club has met the valuation Leipzig holds for the winger, which is around \u00a3103m (\u20ac120m). The 19-year-old’s own words dealt another blow to the Reds as he seems keen to stay in Germany.<\/p>\n

Diomande said: “My contract here is until 2030, so I have four more years. What\u2019s going to happen afterwards? I don\u2019t know. I am a Leipzig player. I will never forget this opportunity.<\/p>\n

“The media only sees me on the pitch, but the club helped me a lot with my family and my mum. The only thing I can do for them is to give everything on the pitch and this is what I\u2019m trying to do every day.”<\/p>\n

Reds star ‘open to move’\"Curtis<\/p>\n

Inter Milan are reportedly leading the race to secure Curtis Jones’ signature with the Liverpool academy hero “open” to a Serie A switch. TEAMTalk reports<\/a> that the midfielder is keen on a move to Italy, as his long-term future at Anfield seems uncertain.<\/p>\n

The 25-year-old has just over a year remaining on his current deal and it is understood that contract talks with the Reds hierarchy have stalled. Premier League sides, including Aston Villa<\/a> and Newcastle<\/a>, also maintain a strong interest in Jones.<\/p>\n

But it is the Serie A giants who have emerged as frontrunners for the midfielder’s signature. Contact was first made in January and Inter have since returned to fashion a summer move.<\/p>\n

Transfermarkt<\/a> estimates Jones’ value at around \u00a330m (\u20ac35m) and the Champions League winner could opt for a move elsewhere to improve his game time.<\/p>\n
