Liverpool Transfers: 4 Players Rodgers Could Sign With Luis Suarez Proceeds

1. Roberto Soldado

Roberto Soldado Of course, one of the biggest dilemmas for Brendan Rodgers this summer is how to replace Luis Suarez. If the Uruguayan does walk out on the Anfield outfit to join Arsenal, the departure of the club's leading goalscorer last season is going to leave a very obvious hole in Rodger's front-line. One person who could help fill it is Valencia striker Roberto Soldado. Soldado has been on Tottenham's radar for much of the summer but the North Londoners are reluctant to match his £26 million release clause, which could leave the door open for Liverpool. The Spain international scored 24 goals in 35 appearances last season and was La Liga's fifth-highest goalscorer behind only Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Radamel Falcao and new Manchester City signing Alvaro Negredo. Liverpool are reportedly prepared to offer the £26 million that Valencia are demanding for the 28-year-old as Rodgers prepares for life without Suarez. Value: £26 millionTotal Spend: £53 millionIf Liverpool can complete these signings with the proceeds taken from the Luis Suarez deal, the impact of the Uruguayan's departure would be softened somewhat.
