Will Reds have to pay £3m for keeper?

After having a bid rejected yesterday, the Daily Mirror believes that Liverpool will have to pay £3million if they want to land Middlesbrough’s Australian goalkeeper Brad Jones. Boro chairman Steve Gibson is holding out for a larger sum and the Reds maybe put off by the asking price after bidding nearly half that amount in their initial offer for the player. With Roy Hodgson still on a limited transfer budget, the paper believes it is highly unlikely he will shell out £3million on a player who will effectively be Pepe Reina’s number two. Jones is said to be willing to move to Anfield as reserve keeper but Liverpool may look at another Australian keeper, Reading’s Adam Federici as a possible target.
