Liverpool are rumoured to be interested in a number of players that could all be instant stars at the club starting next season. Whilst we still have to wait and see where they stand on Rafa’s transfer list, I think it’s safe to say that every name in the rumour list today should bring a smile your face.
Believe, believe it not, or believe it maybe, these are the rumours circulating Liverpool at the moment.
Madrid star lands on Rafa’s transfer list
The Liverpool Echo (via FansFC) is reporting that Liverpool are interested in fighting Chelsea and Manchester City for the chance to add Atletico Madrid star Sergio Agüero to their strike force.
Whilst both of the other clubs being linked with him at the moment have funds to spend, we do have something they don’t: former Madrid striker Fernando Torres. I’d imagine he’d enjoy linking up with his former team-mate. [article link]
Liverpool meet Tevez valuation
The Times has confirmed that Liverpool and Manchester City have met Carlos Tevez’s £25m valuation. The United striker will be making a decision on his future this summer and could spurn his former club for Anfield. [article link]
Martinez confirms interest in Liverpool
Bilbao midfielder Javi Martinez has confirmed his interest in Liverpool even though the club has yet to make a formal offer.
“If I receive an offer, I will deal with it with the club.” Martinez said. “Liverpool are a great team with a great history and any player would like to go there.”
It is rumoured that Benitez is looking at Martinez as a future replacement for Xabi Alonso. And at 20-years-old he’d have a perfect tutor in Alonso to teach him the ropes of the Premier League. [article link]

Hi,
I think it would a good idea to sign both Tevez and Augero.
Goalie: Reina
Defence: Arbeloa, Carragher, Agger (Skrtel), Aurelio (Dossena)
MIdfield: RM- Kuyt, CM- Alonso (Martinez), ACM- Gerrard
Striker: Torres, Tevez, Augero.
In my opinion that would be a great team. How about you?
Sounds good on paper, but i struggle to see how the formation with those players you have listed will work to Liverpool’s advantage.
Its never a good a idea to play people out of position unless its a last resort to fill in for an injury or lack of squad depth. Also i would think that players of the stature of Aguero and Tevez would want to play in there primary role as a forward rather than an attacking winger/wide striker.
I like the idea of a second quality striker at Liverpool, since at the moment whenever Torres is injured we have a distinct lack of presence
up front and there is only so much Gerrard can do. One other thing with that line up, you have missed Mascherano whom apart from Gerrard was Liverpool’s best central midfielder last season and in my opinion the best defensive midfielder in the world.
(and yes i know some transfers have taken place, just thought you might want a response
)
It now seems that Alonso will be leaving, with the style of football that Liverpool play i really hope Rafa signs a new quality CM to fill the enormous hole in our line up that Alonso will leave. I have heard rumours that cattermole is a desired target of Rafa’s to fill the gap, all i have to say is o god FML FML
FML please no!!!
