Rodgers, though, remains relaxed about the situation.

The Irishman said: “There’s always speculation. With Moussa, we are getting to that stage where there will be a different team every day.

“That’s the way it is. If you look at the Premier League, though, their window has changed in the summer and it will close early.

“That puts them under pressure, so there are on the look-out for players, depending on how their teams are doing.

“There will be a sense of urgency.

For us, we are pretty much in control. We know where we are at domestically and we know the enormous challenge we face to be competitive in the Champions League.

“That’s the exciting part, seeing if we can win the league and got for it again.”
