Middlesbrough striker Tuncay Sanli would welcome a move to Liverpool after claiming he was being tracked by the Anfield outfit.
The Turkey international captain is expected to leave the Teessiders in the summer after Gareth Southgate’s side were relegated from the Premier League last month.
Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez is in the market for a new striker during the transfer window after allowing Robbie Keane to leave in January.
Tuncay, who scored in Middlesbrough’s 2-0 win over Liverpool in February, is with the Turkey national team preparing for Friday’s friendly against France.
And when asked of possible interest from Liverpool, the 27-year-old said: “Yes, I’ve heard something about that, but nothing official has arrived to me. Of course I would like to play for a big club.”
Benitez has made bolstering his strikeforce a priority, with Andrei Voronin expected to depart having returned from his season-long loan on Hertha Berlin.
Midfield is another area the Liverpool manager is looking to address. And having missed out on Gareth Barry, another Middlesbrough player, Gary O’Neil, is among several options being considered.
Benitez was linked with a move for the midfielder while the 26-year-old was at Portsmouth, and has continued to monitor his progress at the Riverside.
Reports in the Midlands yesterday claimed Liverpool made a last-ditch bid to sign Barry but the player had already decided upon a move to moneybags Manchester City.
