Aston Villa Transfers: 5 Clubs Alerted By Christian Benteke's Transfer Request

2. Liverpool

Screen Shot 2013-07-09 at 08.55.45 Brendan Rodgers has already been busy in the transfer window, signing forward Luis Alberto, striker Iago Aspas, goalkeeper Simon Mignolet and centre-back Kolo Touré. They ended last season pretty strong too despite missing out on Europe. However, a move for Christian Benteke may be a long shot from Liverpool. Luis Suárez does start the 2013-14 season with a 6-game ban following his biting of Branislav Ivanovi‡ and the Uruguayan has been linked with a move away from Anfield this summer. But will any club be able to afford the money Liverpool are demanding? Aside from Suárez, Liverpool also have Daniel Sturridge who impressed during the second half of the season following his transfer from Chelsea. Fabio Borini returned from injury and Iago Aspas has recently been signed. Will Liverpool really buy another striker?
