Liverpool have reportedly identified Marcos Rojo of Argentina and Ricardo Rodriguez of Switzerland as alternatives to Alberto Moreno, after suggestions that talks between the Spaniard's agent have hit hurdles. The Reds will be looking for a new LB this summer and Rojo and Rodriguez have now entered the picture after it appears a deal for the Sevilla full back could now be falling apart due to issues with the price tag of Moreno.
Brendan Rodgers will be looking to continue to do his business early and collect a squad of competent, versatile players ready for the huge challenge that awaits the team from Merseyside in the 2014/15 season, where they will return to the UEFA Champions League and look to go one better than their 2nd place finish in the Barclays Premier League this season.
24 year old Argentinian Rojo is an exciting, tall full back who has played in Portugal for Sporting Lisbon and has impressed for his national side as of late. He could be available for around £10m, whilst Wolfsburg's 21 year old Ricardo Rodriguez has certainly caught the eye of many managers across Europe in the past 6 months with some oustanding performances, starring in an impressive season for his side in the German Bundesliga. He possesses everything a good full back should have, with excellent strength and defensive contribution, solidity in the tackle, energy down the flanks and a good eye for a cross, subsuquently bringing a £10-£13m price tag to his name.
