Hodgson makes shock move for former star

understands Liverpool are lining up a shock move to bring Fabio Aurelio back to the club. Aurelio left Anfield earlier this summer after failing to agree a new contract on a pay-as-you- play deal. Aurelio made 71 Premier League appearances for Liverpool during his four seasons at the club, but his progress was hampered by injuries, restricting him to just eight league starts last term. The Brazilian departed on a free transfer and was linked with a move back to his native Brazil, but he has yet to find a club. Liverpool have failed to bring in a replacement for Aurelio despite being linked with a host of names, including Maynor Figueroa and Paul Konchesky. However, it appears Aurelio could be in line for a sensational return to Anfield as Roy Hodgson is ready to offer him a deal to solve his problems at left-back. Hodgson is believed to be an admirer of the South American and Aurelio has linked up with the rest of the Liverpool squad in Germany for their pre-season friendly with Borussia Monchengladbach .
