Liverpool FC transfer gossip today sees Brendan Rodgers set to bid for Lyon striker Alexandre Lacazette, according to reports in France.

The Reds were linked with the hotshot forward before this month’s transfer window, but talk has died down in recent weeks.

However, according to French outlet Le10Sport, Rodgers is now ready to table an offer for the in-form 23-year-old, who has hit an impressive 23 goals in as many games for Lyon this term.

These are the players thus far linked with a move to Liverpool FC in January

Manchester United and Liverpool have both made an enquiry for Paraguay starlet Sergio Diaz, according to Italian press.

The youngster only turned 16 in December but is touted as one of the world’s top young talents and is currently starring in the South American Under-20 Championship.

He started Paraguay’s opening group game against Bolivia and was on the scoresheet in a 4-2 win.

Both United and Liverpool have reportedly made contact with Diaz’s current club Cerro Porteno to discuss a possible deal, the report suggests. He is rated at £5.25m.

The young forward has eight goals in 20 senior games at club level so far.

Fresh reports in Spain last night suggest Liverpool are set to offer Real Madrid £38.1million to sign Karim Benzema after reportedly ‘going all out’ to sign the striker.

Lazio are reportedly interested in bringing Liverpool forward Mario Balotelli to the Stadio Olimpico on loan.

The 24-year-old has endured a frustrating debut season at the Reds and has not started a game for the club since the beginning of November.

According to Sport Mediaset, Lazio have made an offer to take him on loan, with the Italy international was not even on the bench for last night’s 1-1 League Cup draw against Chelsea.

There has already been contact between Lazio’s president Lotito and Balotelli’s agent Mino Raiola. The capital side want to loan Balotelli while Liverpool cover 30% of the striker’s wages.

Finally, Liverpool and Chelsea have both been given the green light to make a £30m bid for Mauro Icardi.

The Serie a giants have opened talks over a new contract for the Argentine striker, but it is thought they have broken down.
