Liverpool are watching Atletico Madrid pair Diego Godin and Alvaro Dominguez.

Cadena Ser says Liverpool chief Damien Comolli is having both players watched this season.

Godin has been a long-term target for Chelsea, while Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson admires Dominguez.

Diego Godin may well be keen on a move to Anfield to join up with this Uruguayan international teammates Luis Suarez and Sebastian Coates. The 25 year old centre back is considered one of the most reliable defenders in La Liga and Chelsea were reportedly close to snapping up the Atletico Madrid man but in the end opted for a cheaper defensive solution by signing Bolton’s Gary Cahill.

Godin is in his second season at the Vicente Calderon and joined Atletico Madrid after three good years at Villarreal. Perhaps Kenny Dalglish feels he could do with another central defensive option with Jamie Carragher at the latter stages of his Liverpool career and Daniel Agger being something of an injury concern.

Alvaro Dominguez is an adaptable defender who can play either at left back or in the centre of the defence and the 22 year old is on the fringes of the Spanish senior international set-up. The local born youngster has been at Atletico since the age of 12 so it could prove a fairly big wrench for the powerfully built defender to consider a move to the Premier League.

This pair are valued at around £20m and whilst the duo are very able performers one wonders if Liverpool need to spend to reinforce their back line when they are still one of the most solid Premier League sides defensively. Perhaps funds could be more well spent on bringing in attacking back up options?

Andre Villas-Boas is ready to offer faltering striker Fernando Torres a chance to return to his former club Atletico Madrid as he looks to lure his former FC Porto striker Radamel Falcao from the Vicente Calderon to Stamford Bridge.

27 year old Spanish international Torres has had a woeful year at Chelsea and he has struggled to get anywhere near justifying the £50m paid to Liverpool for his services and with the Euro 2012 finals around the corner and national team boss Vicente Del Bosque demanding regular first team action in order to secure a spot in his squad, a move back to Spain could be of interest to the former Atletico Madrid hero.

Torres netted 91 goals in his seven seasons in the Los Rojiblancos first team before he made his move to Liverpool in the summer of 2007.

Villas-Boas owes a great deal to Radamel Falcao, the former River Plate man netted an incredible 38 goals in 42 matches during his treble winning season at FC Porto. The Colombian forward’s goals were crucial to the Portuguese sides unbeaten domestic season which led to a league and cup double and perhaps his most impressive displays were saved for the club’s Europa League run, where the 25 year old scored 18 goals in 16 matches as they clinched the trophy.

That run of form earned Falcao a move to La Liga where he has continued to impress and score with regularity. Thus far this season the Atletico Madrid man has scored 14 goals in 16 matches but has seen his side get no nearer to breaking the dominant hold Barcelona and Real Madrid hold over the rest of the Spanish top tier.

Indeed Atletico Madrid find themselves down in tenth place, some way off the pace and therefore Falcao would surely be tempted by the chance to reunite with Villas-Boas at Chelsea.

For their part Atletico may be tempted by the return of Fernando Torres and a straight swap may suit all parties. The La Liga side spent £36m to sign Falcao last summer and an exchange offer on deadline day is a deal that Villas-Boas is keen to strike.

The agent of Athletico Madrid defender Diego Godin says the English giants have been targeting his client

Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool have been chasing Athletico Madrid defender Diego Godin, according to his agent.

The 25-year-old was part of Uruguay’s Copa America winning side during the summer and has impressed for both club and country, drawing the attention of Europe’s elite clubs.

“As I said, Godin is talked about a lot in England, there are clubs like Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal who are also quite careful about certain players,” his agent, Diego Heredia Triguero told Calciomercato.com.

“I’ve spoken a little to all of them. But real negotiations have not yet been launched.”

Though Arsenal’s back line has improved over the past couple of months, following some horrendous performances at the beginning of the season, Arsene Wenger apparently still believes his North London side could do with a new addition to give his Gunners side more strength in depth.

Diego Godin may well be an ideal signing in this regard. The 25 year old Uruguayan is considered one of the most solid centre backs in La Liga and after three solid years at Villarreal the Rosario born defender moved to Atletico Madrid in August 2010 and has continued to impress.

Andre Villas-Boas has also identified the Vicente Calderon man as a potential signing and the Chelsea boss also has had issues with his defence this season.

Wenger brought in Laurent Koscielny and Sebastien Squillaci in over the summer of 2010 and then added Per Mertesacker in August but still more needs to be done to beef up the Emirates Stadium defence.

Thomas Vermaelen is a consistent performer but has had injury concerns. Koscielny has drastically improved this term whereas Squillaci appears to have run out of second chances after one too many errors. The jury is still out on Mertesacker though the experienced German should adapt well to life in the English top flight.

Arsenal have conceded a massive 23 goals in 14 Premier League games thus far this season.
