This is the Blood Red Podcast from the Liverpool Echo, giving you the inside track on all the big talking points from Anfield.

Hello it's Paul Wielock and welcome to the Morning Bulletin Podcast where we round up all the big headlines

concerning Liverpool FC. We'll start today with a headline that isn't necessarily to do with

Liverpool FC, but we're going to cover it anyway because let's face it, it could be one of the biggest football stories of our time and that's because

City and City of course are Liverpool's biggest domestic rivals at the moment.

if not the best, he's on the market, he definitely wants to leave, should

Liverpool be in the mix for him and you know I know that sounds ridiculous given how

financially implausible it may sound but you know Liverpool are the champions of the world at this moment in time
