ClubCall: Barca starlet on Reds' radar May 1st 2013, 08:58 This story has been reproduced from today's media. It does not necessarily represent the position of Liverpool Football Club. Barcelona defender Martin Montoya is being linked with a move to Liverpool in the summer but Inter Milan are also said to be keen. Reds boss Brendan Rodgers is looking to add young, quality players to his ranks and the 22-year-old certainly falls into that bracket but his need is more for centre-halves rather than full-backs. With Jamie Carragher announcing his retirement from the game at the end of the season, Rodgers has been linked to a host of centre-halves but now he is also after Montoya, according to reports. Reading defender Alex Pearce and Swansea's Ashley Williams have also both been linked with moves to Anfield.  Source: ClubCall This story has been reproduced from today's media.

News Media Watch from Liverpool FC: CaughtOffside: Ilori to replace Carra?

CaughtOffside: Ilori to replace Carra? May 1st 2013, 09:38 This story has been reproduced from today's media. It does not necessarily represent the position of Liverpool Football Club. Liverpool are lining up a summer swoop for Sporting Lisbon defender Tiago Ilori as a replacement for the retiring Jamie Carragher. The London-born Portuguese U21 international first broke into the Sporting squad two years ago but has featured prominently for the the club's B team this season. And despite the 20-year-old's inexperience at top-flight level, reports suggest that Brendan Rodgers has seen enough in him to believe that he would be able to handle the jump to the Premier League and remains ready to put an offer on the table to force Sporting to sell. Ilori is blessed with a startling turn of pace and a versatility that can see him play at either full back or centre back, which is his primary position, and rumours are that Lisbon will let him go for as little as £1.2 million as they seek to ease their off field financial difficulties. Liverpool had been interested in him since he made his breakthrough two years ago but decided to wait and see how the player developed before rushing into a move, but with Jamie Carragher retiring at the end of the season the club are in need of new defensive reinforcements.  Source: CaughtOffside.com This story has been reproduced from today's media.

News Media Watch from Liverpool FC: GiveMeFootball: Biglia latest

GiveMeFootball: Biglia latest May 1st 2013, 09:43 This story has been reproduced from today's media. It does not necessarily represent the position of Liverpool Football Club. Lazio have emerged as frontrunners to sign Arsenal and Liverpool target Lucas Biglia this summer. The 27-year-old has been heavily linked with a move away from Anderlecht for some time, with the Premier League looking like the most likely destination for the midfielder. Gunners boss Arsene Wenger has been credited with an interest in bringing the Argentine to the Emirates Stadium this summer, as he seeks to strengthen his squad in north London ahead of the 2013/14 campaign. Arsenal will face stiff competition for Biglia's signature, though, with Liverpool's Brendan Rodgers also monitoring the South American star's situation in Belgium, with a view to luring him to Anfield. Biglia has been with Anderlecht since 2006, and has made no secret of his desire to test himself in a major European league.  It has been suggested that the club will accept bids in the region of £8million for a player that is now on the transfer shortlist of Serie 'A' side Lazio. A move to the Stadio Olimpico in Italy, will probably be an exciting proposition for a player that has represented his country on seven occasions since making his debut in 2011. But, without the offer of Champions League football, Lazio might find themselves hard-pushed to tempt Biglia to Rome, if Arsenal are successful in their bid for a top four finish in the Premier League.  Source: GiveMeFootball This story has been reproduced from today's media.

ClubCall: LFC close to defender Apr 30th 2013, 13:13 This story has been reproduced from today's media. It does not necessarily represent the position of Liverpool Football Club. Reading defender Alex Pearce is understood to be set to join Liverpool on a free transfer in the summer after turning down a new deal. The Royals have been trying to tie the 24-year-old down to a new deal all season, but he has refused to sign and is reported to have told Nigel Adkins over the weekend he wants to leave. Liverpool have long been linked with a move for the central defender, who has not been a regular in the Royals side this season, and a move looks to be on the verge of going through. Reds boss Brendan Rodgers is on the look for Jamie Carragher's replacement as the veteran stopper is set to retire at the end of the season and Pearce could be the man. Rodgers is also being linked with a move for Royals goalkeeper Alex McCarthy and a double swoop could be on the cards following Reading's relegation to the Championship.

talkSPORT: Battle for Montoya Apr 30th 2013, 15:43 This story has been reproduced from today's media. It does not necessarily represent the position of Liverpool Football Club. Liverpool face a battle with Inter Milan to clinch the signing of Barcelona defender Martin Montoya. The Merseyside club are looking to strengthen their squad during the summer and manager Brendan Rodgers is reported to be a big admirer of the 22-year-old. With Jamie Carragher announcing his retirement from the game, Rodgers is keen to bolster his defence and add some quality players to the squad as they look to close the gap on the top four. But he will have to move quickly if he wants to sign the Spanish defender as Inter are making advanced moves to sign Montoya. The Italian giants are looking for another right sided player after Javier Zanetti was ruled out for a lengthy period after rupturing his Achilles' tendon. Barcelona will be looking for a sizeable fee for the talented full-back and both clubs look set for a bidding war during the summer.

News Media Watch from Liverpool FC: Express: Trio considering Cesar

Express: Trio considering Cesar Apr 30th 2013, 13:08 This story has been reproduced from today's media. It does not necessarily represent the position of Liverpool Football Club. PREMIER LEAGUE sides Arsenal, Liverpool and Tottenham are following QPR goalkeeper Julio Cesar, who has allegedly ruled out a return to Brazil. Cesar has had an impressive season for the Hoops, after displacing Rob Green as QPR's number one. But the 33-year-old Brazil international could be set to leave the club at the end of the season following relegation, although his agent has denied he could head to his home nation. Cesar is being tracked by Arsenal, Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur, while Manchester United were thought to be watching the shot-stopper in January. "Everything said on the player's future is absolutely premature, there is still nothing concrete," Josias Cardoso told Calciomercato. "Julio wants a team that proves it has a focus on him, but anyone interested in him will have to talk first with QPR, because the contract with the London club expires in 2016. "In two weeks I should come to Europe to talk with Julio - but back to Brazil? I don't think so. If QPR were to decide to sell Julio Cesar, I still see a European future for him."

News Media Watch from Liverpool FC: Metro: Reds to sign Pearce

Metro: Reds to sign Pearce Apr 30th 2013, 12:12 This story has been reproduced from today's media. It does not necessarily represent the position of Liverpool Football Club. Liverpool are poised to snap up Reading defender Alex Pearce when his contract expires at the end of the season. Reds manager Brendan Rodgers has been monitoring the young centre back throughout the Royals campaign and has seen enough to convince him to bring him to Anfield. Pearce, 24, has only made 21 appearances this term but the Liverpool boss is convinced he has all the raw attributes to be a big hit on Merseyside and sees him as a perfect replacement for the retiring Jamie Carragher. Reading's relegation from the Premier League was confirmed after a drab 0-0 draw with fellow strugglers QPR on Sunday. It is understood that Republic of Ireland international Pearce confirmed to Royals manager Nigel Adkins after the game that he would not be signing a new deal at the club, with a move to Liverpool already agreed in principle.
