Lazar Markovic (Benfica)
The Serbian is another player Rodgers would like to bring in to help boost his options in the final third though Benfica’s reported £25m valuation may need to dramatically reduce if Liverpool are to pursue the young attacker.
A move for the 20 year old does adhere to Liverpool’s youthful transfer policy but a fee of this magnitude for a player with precious little top level experience may be a risk Rodgers is not prepared to take.
Markovic impressed in his first season in Portugal but at this present time is simply not worth the figure his Lisbon based side would like to make from his sale.
