Rafa Benitez is weighing up a summer swoop for Spanish star David Silva.
The Reds boss has identified the Valencia man as one of his top transfer targets – but will only do business if the price is right.
Valencia have hit massive financial difficulties in recent months and are set to sell crown jewels Silva, David Villa and Raul Albiol in an effort to bring their debt of 450m euros under control.
It is Silva who has caught Benitez’s eye though, with the Liverpool manager on the lookout for a versatile attacking player who can figure in a number of positions behind Fernando Torres as he looks to add strength in depth to his squad.
The 23-year-old certainly fits that bill and Liverpool have already made tentative enquiries about his availability.
