Liverpool are reportedly close to agreeing a fee of around £38.8m for the services of French international Karim Benzema from Real Madrid.
The Reds boss Brendan Rodgers is believed to be keen on signing up a top-class striker in the winter transfer window, as the club seek a worthwhile replacement for former striker Luis Suarez, who joined Barcelona over the summer.
According to The Metro, the Merseysiders are unconvinced by Mario Balotelli's potential to succeed at Anfield, and will make a move for the former Lyon star come the winter transfer window in January.
Benzema scored Los Blancos' winner in the 2-1 win at minnows Ludogorets in the Champions League on Wednesday night.
