3) Yann M’Vila – Rubin Kazan (Sky Sports)
With only Joe Allen, Jordan Henderson, Steven Gerrard and Lucas competing for three central midfield spots, the Reds need added numbers badly. French battler M’Vila is immensely powerful, and would be very keen to test his mettle in a top league, having been in Russia since early 2013. His manager at Rubin, Ribat Bilyaletdinov, reckons that if M’Vila moves to Anfield, he’d spend his career on the bench.
2) Roberto Firmino – Hoffenheim (Sky Sports)
The young Brazilian playmaker would add depth and creativity to Liverpool’s squad. He’s excelled in the Bundesliga this year though, bagging 14 goals and assisting ten from the pivotal attacking midfield role. He’d be expensive, and has recently extended his contract, but would surely be tempted to play Champions League football.
