Liverpool are also said to be close to completing a £15m deal to sign Bayern Munich winger Xherdan Shaqiri according to the Daily Star.
Shaqiri is rightly considered one of the hottest prospects in European football but his first team chance at the Allianz Arena have taken a blow under boss Pep Guardiola.
Having made a real impact in his first campaign, playing a part in Bayern Munich’s treble winning success in 2012/13, Shaqiri was no doubt looking to kick on last term but was handed just ten Bundesliga starts.
Rodgers is looking to bring in additions to boost his options in the final third and Shaqiri may well be seen as a third prong in an attack that could see the pint sized wide-man play alongside Luis Suarez and Daniel Sturridge.
