Song Again Linked With A Move to Liverpool

Alex Song would be a good addition to Liverpool’s midfield

As written previously on Live4Liverpool, Alex Song of Spanish side Barcelona has been rumoured to be a major target for Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers.

Once again today a number of leading English outlets and nationwide Spanish newspaper, El Mundo Deportivo, are claiming that Liverpool have firmed up their interest in the defensive midfielder.

The paper, which often acts as a mouthpiece for Barcelona, has claimed in the last 24 hours that Brendan Rodgers had been interested in the player earlier in the month but interest died down. However, they claim that Liverpool have now gone back in for the player on loan for the season, with a view to a permanent transfer next summer.

Barca supposedly deem the midfielder as surplus to requirements but are keen to make a permanent deal to move the player on.

With Lucas very likely to be a Napoli player before the end of the window, Liverpool could certainly accommodate another defensive midfielder and a player of Song’s qualities would without doubt bolster this area of the squad.

With deadline day approaching however, Liverpool will have to move fast to make any tranfer for the Barca player a reality.
