Liverpool Linked With Benfica Midfielder

Liverpool could continue their summer recruitment drive with a move for Benfica midfielder Nolito.

New Anfield manager Brendan Rodgers will be well aware of the former Barcelona star after modelling his former club Swansea's style on the Catalan side and spending time studying their training sessions.

The 25-year-old has just spent his first season away from Barca at the Portuguese club but has not enjoyed the experience and is desperate to leave, according to newspaper Record.

talkSPORT revealed in May that Nolito's agent Oscar Font had revealed Liverpool were interested in his client but the move could finally come off now Rogers is in charge and the player is unsettled.

Nolito is under contract at Benfica until 2016 and has a buyout clause of £39m but could be available on loan after making his unhappiness known.
