Juan Iturbe top of Liverpool's January shopping list
Liverpool are lining up a January transfer window move for Argentinian starlet Juan Iturbe. The Porto attacker has already been compared with Lionel Messi and Brendan Rodgers will make a bid in the coming weeks for the player.
Porto have garnered a reputation for finding some of the best young talent in South America, with the likes of James Rodriguez and Radamel Falcao all coming through at the Portuguese side in recent years. Iturbe is set to become yet another one of those players who will move on to a bigger team in Europe via the Portuguese leagues.
Iturbe is hopeful that in the future he will be able to play in another European league but it is understood Porto have already slapped a massive 25 million Euro transfer fee on the player.
The youngster is currently on a season long loan at Italian side Verona and Liverpool scouts have been present at games in which Iturbe has played ahead of a massive transfer bid.
