Liverpool could sign three exciting attacking players in the coming days for a total of £61m.
With the rumours linking Liverpool’s star striker Luis Suarez with a move to either Real Madrid or Barcelona continuing to get louder, despite the Uruguayan’s biting controversy at the 2014 FIFA World Cup, it seems as though manager Brendan Rodgers could be preparing for life after his key man.
Alternatively, the £61 million splurge on attacking talent that the Reds seem to have planned for the coming days could just be to strengthen an attack that already boasts Suarez, Daniel Sturridge, Raheem Sterling and Philippe Coutinho in an attempt to build an attacking force of nature at Anfield.
These three are the players that look set for Anfield moves, with their transfers totaling an eye-watering £61m – but still less than the Reds would expect to receive for Suarez.
1) Adam Lallana (£25m)
Liverpool have been linked with a move for Southampton attacking midfielder Adam Lallana throughout the summer, but it looks as though the Anfield club are now set to complete a £25m swoop for the England international schemer.
Despite only starting one of England’s three World Cup group games in Brazil, Lallana did not let himself down, and he showed enough at St. Mary’s last season to suggests that the player, who has so far spent his entire career at the South Coast club, can be a hit on Merseyside.
2) Lazar Markovic (£25m)
Serbian international Lazar Markovic has enjoyed a stunning debut season at Benfica, putting in performances which look to have persuaded Brendan Rodgers to part with another £25m for the services of the explosive young winger.
The former Partizan Belgrade man is rated as one of Europe’s most exciting young attacking talents, such has been his impact since arriving in Portugal at the Estadio de Luz.
3) Divock Origi (£11m)
The out-and-out centre forward that seems to be interesting Brendan Rodgers is Lille teenager Divock Origi, with the pacey and powerful Belgian international seemingly set for an £11m move to Anfield.
Origi, who scored a crucial winning goal over Russia for his country at the 2014 FIFA World Cup, would offer competition to Daniel Sturridge for the role of spearheading the Liverpool attack from the most advanced position, and certainly has the potential to flourish into a stunning footballer.
