Liverpool already boast one of the most devastating attacking lines in European football but reports suggest that another major boost could be handed to their squad in the form of a new recruit.
Italian outlet Gazzetta Dello Sport, cited by TeamTalk, claim Liverpool sensationally lead the chase for 22-goal Inter Milan captain Mauro Icardi, as it’s stated the San Siro giants may be forced into a sale this summer.
Icardi faces a stern battle to force his way into Argentina’s World Cup ranks and the 25-year-old is issuing vast demands in discussions regarding a new deal, chasing a whopping €9m-a-year deal that could cause Inter’s Financial Fair Play obligations huge problems.
Real Madrid, Chelsea and Manchester United have all been linked with a move for the South American but their priorities are said to lie elsewhere, which has left Liverpool as the frontrunners in the market for the established star.
Whilst he’s a completely different player to Philippe Coutinho, who left for Barcelona in January, it’s claimed Klopp would find room for Icardi in his side.
