When Manchester City gift you £49 million, you spend it. That appears to be the case for Liverpool, with several top strikers linked with a move to Anfield.
Chelsea Hijack Axel Witsel Transfer
Below are all the latest rumors surrounding the Reds.
Christian Benteke
A huge portion of the Raheem Sterling fund will reportedly go to Aston Villa's Christian Benteke. According to Liverpool Echo, Liverpool are on the brink of completing a £32.5 million deal for the 24-year-old.
Javier 'Chicharito' Hernandez Returning to Manchester United
Per the report, the Reds decided to trigger his release clause, making him the second most expensive singing in the club's history. Only Andy Carroll—a name most supporters would prefer to forget—was purchased for a higher fee. His record transfer of £35 million still stands.
Salomon Rondon
Potentially joining Benteke and Danny Ings in Brendan Rodgers' newly formed front line is Salomon Rondon. According to Metro, Liverpool have made an undisclosed offer for the 25-year-old.
Rondon is studying the bid and is willing to change clubs this summer. In 36 appearances with Zenit St. Petersburg last season, he finished with 20 goals, including four in European competition.
Jeremy Menez
There are, of course, alternatives. According to Liverpool Echo, Jeremy Menez has emerged as a fresh target for the club. Per the report, the 28-year-old could be available for as little as £10.5 million.
Despite a turbulent campaign at the San Siro, Menez managed to provide 16 goals in 33 league appearances.
