Reds close in on double swoop to take spending over £70m
Liverpool are closing in on a double deal to sign Benfica’s Lazar Markovic and Lille’s Divock Origi that will send their summer spending over the £70 million barrier, Sky Sports reports.
Brendan Rodgers is set to wrap up the deal to sign the Serbian midfielder after being a long time admirer.
Meanwhile, Rodgers can also finalise a move for Origi after Belgium were eliminated from the World Cup last week, though he may be loaned straight back to Lille.
