Liverpool have confirmed their interest in Portugal international Simao Sabrosa as Rafael Benitez prepares to launch his summer spending spree.
The Benfica forward has long been a target of the Anfield manager and Reds chief executive Rick Parry indicated the Champions League finalists are likely to bid for the 27-year-old this summer.
And Parry admitted a swap deal involving Djibril Cisse, who spent last season on loan at Marseille, is one option which is being considered.
'There are players we are interested in and Simao is one,' Parry revealed.
'But we have made no contact with Benfica. A swap deal with Cisse could be one possibility.'
Cisse's agent Ranko Stojic did not rule out Benfica, but said his client would favor a return to England.
Anything is possible but Djibril's priority is to move to a club in either England or Spain who are in the Champions League,' he told the Portuguese press.
'Liverpool won't be able to decide Cisse's future without the authorization of the player.'
