Liverpool want to sign six more players in this transfer window.
Liverpool are believed to be closing in on signing 20-year old Benfica starlet Lazar Markovic in a £20 million deal, and the signing could go through within the next 24 hours.
The Daily Mirror also reports that the Reds could go on to sign five more players this window after completing the deal for the Serbian.
Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers wants to use the £75 million fee gained from the sale of Luis Suarez to Barcelona to bolster several areas in his squad.
He has thus lined up transfers of Swansea City’s Ben Davies, Wilfried Bony and Michel Vorm, along with potential moves for Southampton duo Jay Rodriguez and Dejan Lovren.
Both Swansea and Southampton are playing hardball over the sale of their star players though, and one reckons that the Reds could find it hard to prise away so many players from fellow English sides.
Liverpool are also believed to be having eyes for German international star Marco Reus, who could cost them in excess of £30 million, but could be the kind of signing that the Reds’ fans would be happy with after the sale of their marquee striker Luis Suarez.
