Petr Cech – Chelsea
Position: Goalkeeper
Age: 32
Value: £7m
With Simon Mignolet floundering, a new goalkeeper is paramount. The Czech international isn’t getting much of a run out at the moment, and they could be the answer to each other’s problems.
Martin Montoya – Barcelona
Position: Right-back
Age: 23
Value: £8m
Glen Johnson’s best form is behind him now, and with him running down his contract, Rodgers will want to snap up a replacement that will make Reds fans forget the England international ever played for them.
Yannick Bolasie – Crystal Palace
Position: Winger
Age: 25
Value: £3.5m
The speedy sideman would certainly add weight to Liverpool’s attack, though he would likely be considered as more of a squad player than regular starter.
Ezequiel Lavezzi – Paris Saint Germain
Position: Winger/forward
Age: 29
Value: £17m
Lavezzi would be a quick fix as he bring experience to a team full of potential. An exciting player, who would surely chip in with his fair share of goals and assists.
Xherdan Shaqiri – Bayern Munich
Position: Winger
Age: 23
Value: £12m
A long time target, the Swiss international will be eager to make up for lost time by replication his electric World Cup form.
Jackson Martinez – FC Porto
Position: Striker
Age: 28
Value: £30m
Built for the Premier League. A true out and out goalscorer capable of filling the gap left by Luis suarez, though he will not come cheap!
