Liverpool target £22 million La Liga trio

Posted by Cathal Breathnach on Friday, January 18, 2008 at 3:10 p.m.

Liverpool are targeting Real Madrid's Gabriel Heinze and Athletic Bilbao duo Fernando Amorebieta and Javi Martinez according to reports in today's Daily Telegraph.

Liverpool were strongly linked with a move for Heinze during the Summer, but stories developed about United boss Alex Ferguson, being unwilling to let the Argenitine join their rivals.

Martinez is a 19 year old central midfielder who has really impressed in La Liga in recent times. Both him and team mate Fernando Amorebieta were linked earlier in the month with a move to Anfield. Rafa Benitez is thought to have a scout tracking both players progress.

Madrid's Heinze would be likely to cost the club about £6 million and the pair of Bilbao players would be at an estimated cost of about £16 million.

    we dont need a striker!!?? what? are you an idiot. and well said karim lad you're spot on. look at the impact torres has had compared to players like nunez josemi cheyrou diouf diao smicer (apart from instanbul obviously) beneyoun kuyt voronin crouch. Its harsh on beneyoun and crouch but like amorabieti or however you spell it they're just below the standard.

    Can you stop posting these shit rumours ? Obviously liverpool have no money to buy any more players, if they had wouldn't they sign Mascherano first?

    So, stop posting all this shit to get hits to your website.

    We need to sign Mascherano now, although it wouldn't surpise me if we got Heinze in the summer. Javi Martinez has impressed me when I've seen him but so did Parker when he was at Charlton, get first option for 3 years and see how he comes on. A for strikers I expect 2 of Crouch, Kuyt and Voronin to leave in the summer.

    I dont think we will get the money for Mascherano :-( and if we sell Sissoko, I think Javi Martinez would be a great signing!

    But we need class wingers and strikers,but then we have to sell alot first! Kuyt,Crouch,Kewell,Pennant and maby Benayun! In: Alfonso Alves, Mancini and Quaresma would be GREAT

    We desperately need need a new striker! I would love for a new takeover so we can buy a new striker and Mascherano on a permanent contract! Masch is our priority but we need another class striker to play alongside Torres. Kuyt is not a striker! Voronin is shocking! Crouch is probably the best for Torres but he isn't good enough! To at least challenge for the Premier League we need another class striker!
