Liverpool Transfers - 5 More Strikers Reds Must Consider
3. Ezequiel Lavezzi
Liverpool have a long-term interest in Ezequiel Lavezzi that can be traced back to 2009 during the forward's days with Napoli, and now, the Reds could reignite their interest with new club Paris Saint-Germain prepared to listen to offers for the Argentina international. PSG are in the market for Angel Di Maria this summer, with the winger set to be made surplus to requirements at current club Real Madrid following the imminent arrival of James Rodriguez from Monaco. The Paris club must sell before they can spend after being hit by tough sanctions from UEFA over breech of Financial Fair Play regulations, and are prepared to offload Lavezzi as they pursuit his fellow Argentinian. Knowing PSG's desperation to rid themselves of Lavezzi, Liverpool could use the complex situation to their advantage by negotiating a knock-down fee for the forward, who scored nine Ligue 1 goals last season and helped his side to the French title. Could Liverpool be about to replace one South American in the form of Luis Suarez with another?
