Liverpool Close in on €7 Million Star

Brendan Rodgers is clearly concerned about the left back position as there is no quality depth and Enrique has been largely inconsistent last season. Aly Cissokho was heavily linked with a move to Reds but the latest reports suggest that Liverpool want Granada’s left back Guilherme Siqueira.
Reports indicate that Liverpool are closing in on €7 Million Star and want the Brazilian to be their preferred left back next season. Reds have not spent much this summer, even though they have signed 4 players, yet their net spend has only been 3 million pounds thanks to a few departures.
It looks likely that Siqueira deal is also going to be funded after selling Liverpool flop Stewart Downing. The England international joined merseysiders two years back in a deal worth 20 million pounds.
Now, Downing is getting closer to sign for Sam Allardyce’s West Ham. The Hammers are looking to re-unite Downing and Carroll and will hope to revive the combination that was a failure at Anfield. Liverpool will get around 8 million pounds for Downing and that sum will surely hep in signing Siqueira
Rodgers likes to sign versatile players and Siqueira completely fits the bill. The defender is renowned for consistency and adds to the attack as well.
The Brazilian featured in 35 league games for Granada last season, scored 6 goals and provided 3 assists as well.
On the contrary, Spanish left back Jose Enrique has only been able to score three goals in English football in 6 long years. Adding to that, the former Newcastle star is unable to provide decent crosses in the box, something that Guilherme Siqueira can surely improve.
The Brazilian defender has also been linked with clubs like Manchester United and Real Madrid, however Liverpool are the ones pushing to secure the deal and must act swiftly before other suitors show interest.
