LIVERPOOL are looking to do most of their summer business early, with three players on their radar, according to the Liverpool Echo.
The Reds are eager to step up their pursuit of Tiago Llori and Henrikh Mkhitaryan, whilst also discovering if they were successful with a bid for Sevilla star Luis Alberto.
A deal for Tiago Llori is nearing completion, after Liverpool had been locked in negotiations for the 20-year-old.
Despite Sporting Lisbon requesting £4.2million for the youngster, it is suggested that the Anfield club have offered closer to the £3million mark.
Llori has expressed an interest in joining Liverpool, and the Reds are hopeful they can use Llori’s interest to finalise talks in the next few days.
Ian Ayre and Brendan Rodgers will then turn their attention to Shakhtar Donetsk attacker Henrikh Mkhitaryan, who scored 25 league goals for the Ukrainian side.
Shakhtar Donetsk are expected to ask for £20million for the Armenian, who scored in the nation’s 4-0 victory over Denmark.
But the transfer of Luis Alberto is out of the Reds’ hands at the moment. The 20-year-old spent the season on loan at Barcelona, who have an option to sign Alberto on a pre-agreed fee. But that option expires after today, meaning Ayre and Rodgers will know tomorrow whether they can bid for the Spaniard or not.

Henrikh Mkhitaryan would be a great addition, with Suarez and courtinho, sturidge…
Two problems with that team Sean, first we won’t cough up the coin for Eriksen and will buy a cheap / *alternative from else where…and second Lucas needs to go! Carried him for too long now, rubbish again last season need to get Wanyama or Diame someone whose both strong and quick..!
dnt want saurez tu go. love tu see him play at anfield.
I personally would like to see henrikh mkhitaryan, I think he would be a good addition to what I believe rogers is trying to putting together. the type of footall liverpool are playing is attractive and if we score more goals than the second half of last season, then we have a good chance of gettting back into the champions league, where a team like lfc belong.
with all dis names plus suarez we are going to challenge for d tittle not top four.
CoRrect my friend and hopefully a cup aswell
And why not! NOTHING to fear from this extremely weak Prem, ‘won’ (with help from the usual dodgy penalies and refereeing) by long ball garbage from salford.
Liverpool MUST stop simply aiming for the ‘top4’ and aim for FIRST!.
LFC slowly transforming into QPR class. It is getting worse day by day. Let it be if it is the way BR losing his job.
If your a Liverpool fan have hope
I don’t think you’ve been watching THE REDS LATELY
