Liverpool are lining up a bid for Italian striker Giampaolo Pazzini this summer as Rafa Benitez looks to bring in new attacking options to lift his faltering Anfield side.
After a great season at Sampdoria, where he scored 21 goals, the 25 year old has become a target for many sides looking to lure the former Fiorentina man away from the Genoa side.
Liverpool have found themselves too reliant on Fernando Torres over the past two seasons and Benitez is looking to bring in reinforcements.
Whilst the club have secured Milan Jovanovic on a free deal from Standard Liege, they are still hopeful of bringing in another striker to the club.
Pazzini is valued at around £11m and whilst Liverpool are in financial difficulties Benitez believes he can finance any deal for the Italian international by selling some of his squad players.
The likes of Albert Rieira, Philipp Degen and Ryan Babel could all be set to leave the club this summer and their sales would help bring in money to help any move for the Italian interanational.
Many names are sure to be mentioned over the next two months, (Mesut Ozil) lets hope we do get some quality players into the club and soon.
Now this is someone I would love to see come to Liverpool. I have a question for you - with us already having Torres and Ngog and Jovanovic already on his way do you see this speculation meaning we might shift to a 2 striker formation or is the writing on the wall for Torres' departure? I sincerely hope that it is the first!!
ReplyDeleteHi Matt, I hope Torres stays of course. Not all these rumours will prove to be true but we will be getting some quality players for the new season.
ReplyDeleteI hope so, we definitely need them! I have heard that Benayoun is surplus to requirements now so it looks like him, Babel and Aquilani are on their way. I reckon it definitely looks like Benitez is moving to a 4-4-2 system with us also being heavily linked with Carlton Cole.
ReplyDeleteYou might be right Matt, you might be right.
