Liverpool is considering an ambitious swoop for Napoli attacker Ezequiel Lavezzi, according to the Guardian.
A previous report had claimed that Lavezzi wanted to leave Napoli this summer to ensure he plays Champions League football - this is something Liverpool can’t offer with the Reds only in the Europa League competition.
However, it is now suggested that Liverpool will still make a bid for the Argentina international in an attempt to lure the direct and hard-working forward to Anfield for the beginning of the 2012/13 season.
Earlier this year, Lavezzi’s agent Jose Alberti claimed that Liverpool had already been in touch with the Serie A side over a possible deal.
“Two years ago I oversaw a meeting between the leaders of Liverpool and Napoli. We discussed a possible deal to bring Lavezzi to England,” he said.
“Nothing happened, but I know specifically that the English club still has great interest in the player, especially after the performance of this season.
Lavezzi, 27, scored 11 times in 42 games this past term.
