Rumours, Lies, Innuendo and maybe, just maybe, an element of truth.
Di Matteo has admitted his interest in Ngog and is waiting to see if Liverpool would consider sending him out on loan. "Yes, he is a player we are interested in," Di Matteo told the club's official website. "But most clubs wait until the end of July and the beginning of August before deciding on which players they might loan out."
AND
..... but his agent, Bruno Satin, insists he wants to fight for his place at Anfield. "It's a bit strange for us at the moment," he said. "The boy wants to fight for his place at Liverpool. He thinks he has a good future at the club and does not want to be pushed out on loan. "To play for another club, he would have to want to go, and he doesn't. I can't make it any clearer.

Krisztián Németh has not joined the Reds squad for pre-season training in Switzerland and Austria amidst speculation he may well be leaving Anfield.
The 21-year-old who recently earned a senior international debut and played in the Greek top flight last term wants a chance to stake his claim for a place in the Liverpool first team. Though he accepts such decisions are ultimately for the club Németh's agent, Tibor Pataky, said his client would prefer a further period out on loan this term rather than leave. A permanent switch to Serie A outfit Lecce is on the table.
"Krisztian has a very clear opinion. He wants to stay as a Liverpool player, and his wish is to be successful as a Liverpool player, if Liverpool will give him a chance to fight," he said. "For now he is back at Melwood, he is working hard and looking forward. If he feels he will get a chance to make the jump into the first team, he will do everything he can to do so. But if not, then he is happy to go for maybe half a season to another club on loan."

Liverpool are believed to have agreed on a £5 million fee for the sale of full-back Emiliano Insua to Fiorentina. The young Argentine was understood to have been a key target for the Italian club, with speculation suggesting that several offers were made before La Viola got close enough to Liverpool's valuation for a deal to be considered.
Now The Daily Mail reports that the clubs have reached an agreement over the fee and that the 21-year-old is set to join the Serie A outfit in the next 48 hours. The potential transfer of the former Boca Juniors youth product would leave a question-mark over the left-back spot at Anfield, as Fabio Aurelio and Andrea Dossena have already made exits from Anfield. However, it has been reported in the past that manager Roy Hodgson has lined up Wigan Athletic's Maynor Figueroa as a replacement.

Liverpool could be set to sell French midfielder Damien Plessis. The 22-year-old, who has struggled to take the step from promising youngster to first team player, is being tracked by Portuguese giants Benfica. According to France Football, Plessis is ready to leave Anfield in search of more playing time and greater opportunities. Benfica at first sounded Liverpool out about a season-long loan for the midfielder, but the cash-strapped Merseyside club are keen to sell Plessis. The Frenchman would cost Benfica around €700,000. Should a move to Portugal fall through then Plessis is ready to head back to France as he looks to exit Anfield.

Barcelona are considering a change of tack by turning their attentions to Liverpool ball-winner Javier Mascherano, as the potential transfer of Cesc Fabregas from Arsenal to the Nou Camp continues to drag on. If their move for Fabregas fails, Barca bosses are already considering alternatives with Liverpool stopper Mascherano top of the list.
Pep Guardiola is thought to be a big admirer of the Argentinean captain and sees him as the perfect foil for the more creative midfielders in his squad, such as Spanish World Cup stars Andres Iniesta and Xavi. However, Barca will face a battle to secure Mascherano's signature as he is already thought to be in talks with Inter MIlan over a reunion with former Reds boss Rafa Benitez.
