Former Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez has hinted that he wants to return to the Merseyside club at the end of this season.

This comes after a disastrous start to the season for Brendan Rodgers, which has brought his job security into question.

Liverpool are in dire need of attacking reinforcements, with Mario Balotelli failing to live up to expectations after his summer transfer.

Brendan Rodgers has struggled to replace the void left by Luis Suarez, and hopes that £30m rated Colombian star Jackson Martinez will go some way to doing that.

Liverpool and Arsenal have both been linked with a move for French striker Andre-Pierre Gignac recently, with both sides needing more fire-power to see out the rest of the season.

It seems the competition just got a little bit stiffer however, with Russian side Dynamo Moscow joining the hunt for his signature.

Liverpool were heavily linked with a move for Xherdan Shaqiri in the summer, but it was recently revealed that Bayern Munich rejected all bids from the Merseyside club.

It seems that the German giants have now done a U-turn, and are ready to sell the player.

Manager Pep Guardiola apparently doesn’t think the Swiss star is “clever enough”, and believes he lacks a footballing brain.

Liverpool are expected to go back with a fresh bid in January.
