With speculation continuing to circle
around the future of Liverpool forward Luis Suarez, Reds manager Brendan
Rodgers is sure to have looked through the market for possible replacements and
will have been worried with what he found. The club’s stance has always been
that Suarez is not for sale but Rodgers has also conceded that every player has
his price and if Liverpool receive an offer in the £50-60mil region they are
sure to seriously consider it, especially if the bid comes from a foreign club.
While some believe that Liverpool could
build a potentially better squad without Suarez with the fee the club would
receive for his transfer, a quick glance at the quality of players available in
the transfer market this summer means that it will be no easy task finding the
right players to replace a key player in Suarez. Most quality attackers that
were available this summer have already been snapped up by Manchester City,
Monaco, PSG and Napoli, with the talents of Alvaro Negredo, Stevan Jovetic,
Radamel Falcao, James Rodriguez, Edinson Cavani and Gonzalo Higuain already
changing clubs. Other talents such as Jackson Martinez, Hulk, Stephan El
Shaarawy and Christian Benteke all have either no interest in leaving their
current club, or have no interest in joining a club that cannot provide
Champions League football.
