Liverpool are rumoured to be preparing a move for Anderlecht star Matias Suarez, after technical director Damien Comolli was spotted watching the player in action.
According to reports in the Mirror, the 23 year-old has emerged as one of the club’s top transfer targets, as they look to make adjustments to their squad over the summer months.
Comolli is believed to have watched the striker a number of times this season, but is wary of Anderlecht’s hefty price tag.
Anderlecht manager Herman van Holsbeeck confirmed that a number of clubs have registered interest in the player, with Liverpool and two other Premier League clubs believed to be included, but that nothing concrete has come of it yet.
“There are 15 top clubs prepared to pay the money we want for Suarez and the fee could be higher than the money we received from Chelsea for Romelu Lukaku last year. Matias could have gone to Russia in the winter and also Juventus, but his wife Magali did not want to go.
“Do I think Suarez is worth more than Lukaku? Well, technically he is a better player,” he said.
While Liverpool’s owners, Fenway Sports Group, no doubt have the finances to bring in Suarez, they are wary about over-spending, having already forked out an estimated £115 million on recruiting new players during Kenny Dalglish’s short reign as Liverpool boss.
