Anfield side track Italian based forwards.
Liverpool are reportedly readying taking an interest in a pair of Serie A striking talents according to SportMediaSet.
The Anfield side may well find themselves cashing in on want-away Uruguayan Luis Suarez and despite having a number of alternative options in their attacking armoury Brendan Rodgers has set his sights on a pair of possible Serie A targets.
The Northern Irish boss is keen on Roma forward Pablo Osvaldo who could well be set for a Stadio Olimpico departure having angered the club’s board after publicly lambasted then boss Aurelio Andreazzoli following his substitution in the Coppa Italia final against Lazio.
Osvaldo has been a fairly prolific marksman in recent seasons, 28 goals in 57 appearances for Roma following his move back to Italy.
The Argentine born Italian international may well welcome a new challenge and could jump at the chance of a move to Anfield.
Liverpool are also keen on Udinese striker Luis Muriel.
The 22 year old Colombian had an excellent season last term, scoring 11 goals in 15 Serie A starts and is considered one of the hottest young striking properties around, though clearly it would be a very big ask for the Udinese man to fill Suarez’s boots.
However Brendan Rodgers has a fair few options at present with the likes of Daniel Sturridge, Fabio Borini, Luis Alberto and Iago Aspas to call upon and the Anfield boss may feel that it’s a healthier situation to have a number of strong young alternatives that can chip in here and there as opposed to having to be so reliant on one prolific marksman, as with Luis Suarez.
Liverpool are said to be keeping tabs on Muriel who has been at Udinese since June 2010 but has spent much of his time away on loan having made temporary switches to Granada and Lecce before making a real impact with the Zebrette last term.
