3.Mauro Icardi (Inter Milan)
For all the Sturm and Drang that Inter Milan have braved this season, Mauro Icardi has been their brightest spot all long. The Argentinian wizard had yet another wonderful season, scoring 20 times in 35 Serie A games coupled with 4 assists.
Earlier in the season, Icardi spurred Liverpool’s interest when he went on to divulge his elation on being linked with Liverpool saying, “If the rumours about Liverpool are real, I would be honoured, because they are a big club”. This might just provide the impetus for the Merseysiders to launch a bid.
Pure and lethal finisher, Icardi is one of the finest players in Serie A and can be a vital addition to the Reds’ attack. Aged just 22, the former Sampdoria man has the potential to develop into a truly world-class talent at Liverpool.
4.Roberto Firmino (Hoffenheim)
With the likes of Arsenal and Real Madrid set to be locked in a race to sign Hoffenheim striker Kevin Volland, Liverpool have turned their attention towards another player from the Upper Rhine outfit – Roberto Firmino. The Brazilian has seen a significant ascent in his stock this season and was key to his side’s top half finish in the league.
Prolific dribbler and a great distributor of the ball, Firmino comes as an upgrade to the potentially outgoing attacking midfielder Raheem Sterling and has the capability to dovetail in any of Rodgers’ formations. Moreover with Liverpool qualifying for the Europa League next season, he gets a chance to play in Europe, something which Hoffenheim cannot offer.
With a market value touted to be around £25 million, Liverpool must tie him up without much ado.
5.Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (Borussia Dortmund)
The Gabon international is purportedly scouted by the Reds, who are looking to clench him after losing Memphis Depay to rivals Manchester United. Signed from Ligue 1 outfit St.Etienne in 2013 for £9.5 million, Aubameyang has impressed greatly with the Ruhr valley side and has been a perennial figure in Klopp’s attack.
With a meteoric pace and great versatility in the final third, the 26-year old can be an ideal acquisition for the Reds should they revert back to their 3-pronged attack. The Kopites are in dire need of a talisman upfront and given Aubameyang’s 17% conversion rate this season (more than any Liverpool player this term) and an average of 3.1 shots per game, they may have just found out the panacea to all their attacking woes.
With a market value estimated to be around £15million, the Reds should really go for it.
