21 June 2015 - 02:53

Liverpool will reportedly consider a move for Spanish striker Fernando Llorente, following a stall in their talks for Aston Villa striker Christian Benteke.

Chelsea prepared to sell £40m striker with Newcastle keen

Liam Rosenior confirms Chelsea star is out for six weeks

The Reds have shown the desire to sign the Belgian international, but Villa\'s asking price of £32.5m has put them off.

The Mail cites that manager Brendan Rodgers will revert to Juve striker Fernando Llorente, who is expected to leave the Turin giants, should Mario Mandzukic make a move from Atletico Madrid.

It is added that Llorente would favour a switch to the Premier League, as he could find first-team chances hard to come by should a new striker join the Italian champions.
