The Madrid forward has been linked to Liverpool since the summer

Thankfully, the week has been much more about the actual action on the field than the gossip and transfer rumours off it (and long may that carry on) but it wouldn’t be a Sunday without some transfer stories. And where LFC are concerned, there’s been more of the same this week.

First off, the ever-reliable Metro are claiming (not for the first time) that Liverpool are looking to break all kinds of records at the club by offering Real Madrid the very precise figure of £38.1 million for Karim Benzema. It’s no big secret that Real have been looking for something different to the Frenchman for some time but unless there’s a huge turnaround between now and the summer it’s hard to see FSG funding such a huge move. While certainly a move we’d all like to see happen, it’s unlikely.

Another striker – and one that Reds across the world have wanted to all season – has also been linked this week, one Alexandra Lacazette. The Lyon striker has been blazing a trail in Ligue 1 all season, with 20 goals so far and would be available for a much smaller fee. This one is more likely, as much for his age and price as anything, but considering the story comes from the equally reliable Express it’s just another ‘Lacazette to Premier League’ story.

Finally, a number of online sources have linked Liverpool to both Mauro Icardi and Memphis Depay of Inter Milan and PSV respectively. Both are talented, young attackers and either one would be a great fit for LFC, with Icardi being of a unerringly similar style of forward to Luis Suarez, and prolific, whilst Depay is a quick and pacy winger who has scored 32 goals and contributed 16 assists over the past two seasons for the Dutch team.

Any of these players would be welcome at Anfield but do these rumours have any truth in them? Let us know your thoughts in our comments.

    I can’t belive Lfc hasn’t sign a single player dis winter considering our poor start to the season, we need a goalscoring striker, we can’t rely on a injury prone striker, we’ve failed to bring Divock we should try something else, get us Icardi or Lacazette
