Liverpool Transfers: 6 Raheem Sterling Replacements

5. Mauro Icardi - Internazionale

Icardi had a wonderful time in Seria A last season and gathered the attention of some of the finest clubs in Europe this summer. The Inter Milan forward who started as a youth player at Barcelona scored 27 goals in 47 games and finished as joint top scorer in Italy alongside Verona striker, Luca Toni. The stumbling block may be that Icardi has signed a four-year deal with the Italian giants earlier this year but reportedly the wage of £70,000 a week could surely be improved on by Liverpool. The Argentine is well-known for having an explosive personality and it wouldn't be out of the question for him to push for a move if the offer was good enough. Icardi is quick, powerful and finishes accurately and would link up brilliantly with Firmino, Lallana, Henderson and Daniel Sturridge. Inter teammate, Mateo Kovacic is also being watched by a number of Europe€™s top clubs and could also be an option for Rodgers.
