His last-minute header ensured the Three Lions would be dragged into the familiar territory of a penalty shootout, but Gareth Southgate's side prevailed in the end.

Such form has led to speculation Mina could be set to depart the Nou Camp this summer, with the Merseyside rivals ready to do battle for his signature.

However, according to Marca, Turkish giants Fenerbahce are also interested in the centre-half.

Barcelona look set to sign Melo from Gremio - meaning they will have too many non-EU players in their squad.

Although he only arrived from Palmeiras in January, Barca would reportedly be open to the idea of letting the 23-year-old depart, with a move to the Premier League seemingly the most likely option.

Jurgen Klopp is keen to add depth to his backline, with Dejan Lovren and Ragnar Klavan still looking suspect at the heart of his defence.
