Liverpool to move for Sporting Lisbon defender?

Liverpool are understood to be preparing a bid for Sporting Lisbon defender Marcos Rojo, according to Portuguese newspaper A Bola.

The Reds boss Brendan Rodgers is eager on signing a suitable replacement for Aly Cissokho, who looks likely to leave the club once his loan deal expires at the end of the season.

 

Rojo is considered as a top target for the Merseyside outfit, as they aim to provide stiff competition to Jose Enrique for the left-back role, with the prospect of playing in the Champions League next season.

 

The Reds will likely make an attempt to seal the deal before the summer World Cup finals in Brazil, as his price would only go up further after the tournament.
