Arsenal continue to chase Liverpool star man Luis Suarez but the reds supporters should not worry if the latest reports are true. Telegraph suggests that the club will be given funds to sign a top quality star and his arrival does not depend on Suarez situation.
Reports indicate that Liverpool are seriously looking to sign Brazilian international Willian from Anzhi for 35 million Euros. Reds are assured that funds will be provided to complete one marquee signing this summer.
Liverpool thus far have sold more players and brought in a few this transfer season. That is the reason why their books are showing positive balance of 5.2 million Euros. There is no concrete evidence as yet that Liverpool owners will be willing to let Rodgers spend that amount but we will have to wait and see.
Reds failed to lure Henrikh Mkhitaryan from Shakhtar as Champions League runner ups Dortmund intervened and signed him. Surely, signing highly rated Willian from Anzhi is not going to be easy as well when there are a few Champions League clubs also showing interest.
Anzhi only signed the attacking midfielder from Shakhtar few months back for a hefty sum. The Brazilian was impressive in UEFA Champions League last season as he directly contributed in 7 goals (4 goals and 3 assists) in 6 CL appearances for the club, including a brace against then reigning Champions Chelsea.
Rodgers wants to add an attacking playmaker into his lineup for next season and Willian can be that marquee signing. If Liverpool are able to hold on to Suarez and add Willian then that can be a mouthwatering prospect for the fans.
However, it is too early to dream, the main stumbling block can again be Liverpool’s exclusion from Europe. Despite being highly talented, Willian has only played two games for national side. He will surely want to feature in next year’s World Cup in homeland and may as well prefer Champions League football.
Only 18 days left before the summer transfer window shuts. Therefore, the merseysiders should move quick enough to know where they are headed in pursuit of the Brazilian. In case they do lose out on him, they will have enough time to spend the assured funds to sign an alternate.

Got zero chance of buying Willian,he’s not going to sign for a club who have just had there first team decimated due to SLASHING the WAGE BILL.Rodgers promised us first team players after buying the squad fillers,but he has LIED ABOUT ALL OF IT.He got his B team players,then set about decimating the first team,we are in a really bad state now.And will be lucky to stay in the TOP 10 because Norwich Swansea Southampton have all bought better quality players than Liverpool.
Doubt that the funds are guaranteed, FSG will never give Rodgers or anyone 30 million, 10-15 million at best
i hope the funds are available as the squad has become very thin….i hope they sign two quality winger and a quality striker if suarez leaves…one left back is also needed as back up to jose enrique…wingers should be priority after selling downing..i hope we dont get into the same mess as last year when we failed to replace carrol.
American owners came to do business not to bring glory at anfield….we are always selling not buying
This is beyond annoying, have stuck by the new manager as we all should but the fact is, I am losing all faith with this disgusting effort in recent transactions.
Where is the promised world class signings??
All these promises are not being honoured & we are selling players at massive losses on top of this.
Then to top it all off, our highest rated player is wanting out & downgrading this great club to the public.
Personally would have liked Suaraz to stay but never ,ever at the expense of undermining the greatest football team on earth – the door is that way!!
Now take his 60 million fee & buy some decent players!!
Li repopulate is a spent force. Can’t get in the champions league therefore top players won’t come. Both your top players wanted/wants to leave. Gerard wanted to go to Chelsea and would have gone but for the serious threats to his and his family’s life by Liverpool ganster fans. Now Suarez is being held against his will in spite of promises to let him go. Again really classy. What a classy club Liverpool and Brenda Rogers are!
I doubt if liverpool really will spend that amount of money on one palyer, I only see that happening if they sell suarez
Wao a wonderful nd fantastic target.nd 4 sure he can also be tmr Gerard rplacement.
