8. Carlos Zambrano
Another potential option for a new centre back is Eintracht Frankfurt's Carlos Zambrano. Zambrano has been in excellent form this season and has been crucial in Frankfurt's surprise push for Champions League football. It is unlikely Frankfurt will be able to replicate this feat next year, and Zambrano may look abroad for opportunities for sustained success. Aged 23, he is around the sort of age that Ian Ayre, Liverpool€™s managing director, has said would appeal to the club in any future transfers. He is an aggresive and commited player who gives 100% week in week out and could be the perfect replacement for Martin Skrtel.
