Liverpool transfer news: Reds ready IMPROVED bid to sign €20m La Liga playmaker

Rodgers plots Spanish raid.

Liverpool are being tipped to make an improved bid to sign Real Madrid midfielder Asier Illarramendi this summer, according to sources in Spain.

The Reds are keen to bring in a replacement for Steven Gerrard in midfield this summer, and could raise their offer for Illarramendi to around 20m.

The former Real Sociedad man has not managed to establish himself as a regular since moving to the Bernabeu, but looks a player capable of strengthening most sides around Europe.
