Liverpool have been linked with summer moves for numerous players over the past seven days, from goalkeepers to centre forwards to, erm James Milner.
Barcelona keeper Victor Valdes is rumoured to be interesting both Liverpool and Manchester City after apparently instructing his agent to sound out Premier League clubs. Hmmm, really? A 30 something on big wages, and where would that leave Simon Mignolet?
Another Barcelona star said to be on Brendan Rodgers' radar is forward Bojan Krkic, who has spent this season on loan at Ajax, not really doing a great deal. The 23 year old is also rumoured to be attracting interest from Spurs, no doubt after they read about LFC's interest.
Other reports have Arsenal set to battle Liverpool for the signature of £25m rated Real Madrid star Karim Benzema. Not sure he'd be too happy about backing up Suarez and Sturridge, but he can fill the place vacated on the subs bench by Iago Aspas I guess.
Sevilla centre back Federico Fazio continues to be linked with a move to Merseyside, with Everton said to be rivalling the Reds for the 26 year old Argentinian. Sevilla's financial problems have seen them forced to sell Alvaro Negredo, Jesus Navas and Gary Medel last summer, and Fazio is said to have a buy out clause of £7.5m. Fazio is 6ft 5in and could add much needed height and physicality to a Liverpool backline that perennially struggles against big units.
Staying in Spain, Malaga's defensive midfielder Ignacio Camacho is another said to be on Rodgers' summer shopping list. The 23 year old has been a regular for Spain's youth and under 21 sides but is yet to feature for the full Spanish side.
Other speculation suggests the Reds are tracking THREE players from Austrian side Red Bull Salzburg. 21 year old Norwegian midfielder Valon Berisha was heavily linked with a January move to Anfield but that never materialised, and reports now claim Rodgers will make a move for him in the summer, along with two of his team-mates - 21 year old centre back Martin Hinteregger and 28 year old former Barcelona forward Jonathon Soriano who has his 31 goals in 27 appearances this season. Manchester United are said to be in for both Hinteregger and Soriano too.
Closer to home, James Milner and Gylfi Sigurdsson have been linked with summer moves to the Reds, as has Arsenal right back Bacary Sagna who according to reports in Italy is rumoured to have received a 'very lucrative offer' to move to Anfield and is out of contract this summer. Inter fancy their chances of landing him too, apparently.
