Arsenal are still chasing Liverpool star man Luis Suarez while the Reds are looking to hold on to him and further reinforce their squad with quality players. The latest reports suggest that Liverpool are looking to lure two Diegos.
The players in discussion are Diego Costa of Atletico Madrid and Diego Capel of Sporting CP. Reds have reportedly bid 21 million pounds for the Brazilian international and according to Spanish newspaper Marca, Liverpool will triple Costa’s earnings to sign him.
Costa is a versatile player, capable of playing both as an out and out striker and out wide on the wings. However, Liverpool have already signed one such player in Iago Aspas who was handed the iconic number 9 shirt as well.
Nevertheless, Diego Costa scored 20 goals last season for Atletico and provided 15 assists as well. In case Suarez leaves, Costa can be a worthy replacement. Without Champions League football, there are always going to be few world class quality options.
Latest rumor suggests that Liverpool also want Sporting Lisbon’s playmaker Diego Capel, who has the ability of playing on both flanks.
The 25 year old scored 5 goals and provided 9 assists last season. The Spanish winger is available at a price of 7 million Euros.
In any case, if Suarez stays the real question is, do Liverpool really need these two Diegos as they already have enough depth in attacking positions?

Lfc aren’t spending money,there only concern is SLASHING the wage bill by getting rid of Suarez Reina Skrtel downing ( While buying garbage B team players ) How are you strengthening the squad with Mignolet Aspas Alberto & Toure IN ( AND Reina Skrtel Suarez Downing OUT ) bullsh*t from THE THREE STOOGES ( Henry ayre & Rodgers ) WE NEED SOMETHING DONE ASAP.
You are chatting absolute shit mate, you clearly have no understanding of the world of football. You can’t expect Liverpool to spend big on the biggest players anymore when we don’t have champions league football. We have a strong first 11, costa would be a good addition, but essentially Rodgers is going a good job giving us more depth with different players
i guess you haven’t mistaken on your tongue, its better to have more men than one undisciplined man..good job BR
Yes if suarez stays we should go for costa,And sometimes use as no 10 n sturidge no 9,also costa no 10 suarez upfront and aspas must be our no 7.BR buy strong def-mid and cb.
Liverpool need to enforce the defense and midfield not attacking
Let’s get both Costa and Ericsen and we could contend for all EPL treble. Rodgers should not re-length in his effort of signing big names, let’s borrow a leave from what Man C.d did some years back which brought about their redemption. Thanks.
the are just lookin for suarez replacement dats why they need many players to be tested
Let him do his job to perfect the team.
Great read & site
