Liverpool Plan Surprise £18m Barcelona Raid

Liverpool are preparing a summer move to sign Barcelona youngster Bojan Krkic. The Anfield side’s Director of Football Damien Comolli has set his sights on the Spanish international who may be on his way out at the Nou Camp as the player’s agent has admitted is unsure of his clients future at the Catalan giants.

The 20 year old has spent the best part of four seasons trying to claim a regular first team berth but appears no nearer to securing that goal than three years ago. Bojan has found himself falling down the pecking order and is now behind fellow youngster Pedro and may well feel that he has to leave the club in order to continue his career progression.

A crowd favourite, the pint sized attacker has scored 38 goals for the La Liga champions but is most often used from the bench and is now the subject of much interest from prospective suitors with the likes of Napoli and Valencia reportedly interested in nabbing the speedy front man.

Liverpool is now also chasing the adaptable attacker who can play either as an out and out striker or out on the wing. The Merseyside club is looking to bring in new youthful additions to help the club plan for the future and Comolli hopes to be able to persuade the Barcelona starlet to move to the Premier League club.

Having brought in Andy Carroll and Luis Suarez to Anfield, Liverpool are continuing to scout out young talent to help boost their squad and the club’s owners are willing to spend in the transfer market to help turn the club into genuine title contenders once again.

The club has invested wisely in bringing in young up and coming players from around Europe, such as Jonjo Shelvey, David N’Gog and Daniel Pacheco and has a fair few quality academy graduates also making an impact with Martin Kelly being the stand out player so far.
