Liverpool are in talks with AC Milan winger Jeremy Menez, according to reports.
The Reds are in the market for a new winger after seeing Raheem Sterling complete his £49million switch to Manchester City earlier this week.
Despite the club already signing Roberto Firmino and James Milner, both whom can play on the wing if needed, Brendan Rodgers still wants to bring in a new winger to add depth to his squad.
A lot of talk has linked Liverpool with Borussia Dortmund star Marco Reus, but with no Champions League football next season, that deal is looking unlikely.
Another name being linked is Aston Villa striker Christian Benteke, with Rodgers contemplating whether to meet his £32.4m release clause.
However, according to reports last night, Liverpool are holding talks with Milan over a potential move for Menez.
Liverpool have been scouting Menez since his Paris Saint-Germain days, and sent out several scouts to watch him at the San Siro last season.
The 28-year-old is a versatile star, who can play anywhere across the front three, and it’s believed Liverpool will initially offer £10.5m.
