As expected, Argentine defender Mauricio Pellegrino has officially left Liverpool after he was told he would not be getting a new contract for the new season. With a month to go until the start of the qualifying rounds and the first full week of confirmed Champions play, the Reds are yet to sign any new players and reports grow of signing frustrations. The BBC reports that Milan Baros has turned down Houllier's offer for play at Lyon, favouring to stay with the European Champions.
