Liverpool need more quality in their depth in the center of the park and believe the South American player could be a useful signing. The player&#8217;s acquisition cost could be around \u00a340m-50m. Liverpool have the financial wherewithal to make a deal, and the South American international would be a quality investment.<\/p>\n<p>He is in the prime of his career and could be an important player for them for several seasons.<\/p>\n<p>The asking price is reasonable for a player in his quality market. However, Manchester City, Newcastle and Barcelona are also interested in the player. The Italian team will no doubt be hoping for a bidding war to get as much of their star midfielder back as possible.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Manager Pete O&#8217;Rourke explained to Football Insider: &#8220;Yes, he&#8217;s been linked to the Premier League for a number of years.
