Liverpool Expected to Make Ambitious Bid for Brazilian Playmaker Kaka

Anfield side target Real Madrid midfielder.
Liverpool are reportedly readying a surprise bid for Real Madrid playmaker Kaka according toSports Direct News.
Brendan Rodgers is expected to make an offer for the 31 year old Brazilian who is little more than a bit-part playerat the Bernabeu and could well be tempted by a move to the Premier League before the transfer window slams shut.
Kaka was already playing a greatly limited role at Real Madrid and the summer signing of Isco will further hamper his chances of making an impact, even under his former AC Milan boss Carlo Ancelotti. Last term the former World Footballer of the Year was handed just 12 La Liga starts and hasn’t figured at all in the club’s opening fixtures
Brendan Rodgers has adopted a youthful transfer policy but may feel that the chance to add balance with the purchase of an experienced campaigner such as Kaka is too good an opportunity to pass up.
Kaka has already publicly stated his intention to leave Real Madrid, announcing;
“now is the right moment for me and for the club
With Coutinho and Lucas Leiva at the club Rodgers may feel his pursuit of another Brazilian could well be a successful one.
Prior to his move to Real Madrid Kaka had become a world beater at the San Siro, winning Serie A, Champions
Injuries and average form have led Kaka’s career to stall and a move to Anfield could be a chance to help re-ignite the Real Madrid attacking midfielder’s fortunes.
I actually think this could make sense at the right price. While not the player he once was, he could be good cover/replacement for Countinho, when things are not going well. We have already seen multiple times this season that Countinho is both brilliant and frustratingly naive at times. Kaka could mentor him from the bench and create an impact from it. He would also not be a threat to Coutinho, as a younger playmaker (a la Eriksen might be).
Let's do this.
Skrtel will be sold to Napoli imho.
I'm with you. Kaka can mentor Coutinho and the younger midfielders/forwards, in the same way Toure influences the defenders, and possibly Given the keepers.
If it's a toss up between Moses and Kaka, it's the latter any day of the week.
Apparently fee weve paid for Sakho is £19.6m. Ooooh nearly the £20m.
Its not that much mate, its apparantly 13 mill £ acc to the BBC
Ahh right, the figure I quoted was from French media.
@Karlton81: I'm hearing that this apparent Iker Muniaín rejected bid by #LFC is true.
Oh hello! This lad can play..

Yes mate, love this link. Would like us to persue it. But im still camped in the Yarmolenko thread.
Kaka? Has he been looking at Zidanes house on the Wirral again the little joker.
At least it will please Tony Adams. I saw him preview all the weekend games earlier today, and every analysis focused exclusively on the centre backs. He concluded that we wouldn't do that well 'because there's not enough back up at centre back'.
He also said Arsenal don't need to sign any players & can make top four easily by having someone working with the defenders on the training ground.
I think he's a tad myopic.
Transfer news: Liverpool closing on Mamadou Sakho, Tiago Ilori and Victor Moses

Victor Moses: Chelsea forward is one of three players Liverpool are looking to land before deadline passes
Sky Sports sources understand that Liverpool are closing on deals for Victor Moses, Mamadou Sakho and Tiago Ilori.
Positive discussions are believed to be ongoing regarding a possible season-long loan agreement for Chelsea forward Moses - who is also of interest to West Bromwich
Albion.
The Nigeria international, who moved to Stamford Bridge from Wigan Athletic in August 2012, is yet to figure for Jose Mourinho's Blues so far this season.
Liverpool would welcome the opportunity to add Moses' creativity to their ranks, as Brendan Rodgers looks to build on a productive opening to the season which has brought back-to-back 1-0 successes.
The Reds boss is also working hard to bolster his defensive options before Monday's transfer deadline.
With the vastly-experienced Kolo Toure having picked up a knock during a Capital One Cup clash against Notts County on Tuesday, and with new arrival Aly Cissokho facing up to six weeks on the sidelines, reinforcements have become a top priority.
Highly-rated Sporting Lisbon centre-half Ilori has been heavily linked with a switch to Anfield for some time now, with Sky Sports sources revealing on Friday that a fee had been agreed for his services.
It is understood that the 20-year-old has travelled to England to undergo a medical and finalise a move.
Ilori could soon find himself playing alongside Paris St Germain defender Sakho. The 23-year-old France international has grown frustrated at a lack of regular first-team football in the French capital and has publicly expressed a desire to move on.
PSG were initially reluctant to discuss the sale of a player who graduated out of their academy system, but Sakho is also believed to be on Merseyside to discuss personal terms and undergo a medical.

Liverpool looking to sign two very exciting young prospects
Liverpool have had a busy summer, signing a whole host of squad players, whilst also convincing their talismanic striker Luis Suarez to stay at the club, despite the Uruguayan looking to shift to Real Madrid or Arsenal. According to reports in the Daily Star, Liverpool are now looking to sign a few youngsters as investments for the future.
The first among them is Deni Hocko, who plays for Buducnost Podgorica (which is a club in the Montenegrin League). The youngster is already being compared to Andrea Pirlo due to his amazing passing skills and range. Sources in Italy report that both Liverpool and Crystal Palace have made enquiries for Hocko, who has impressed greatly with the Montenegrin youth squads.
The Reds of Merseyside are also keen on wonderkid Richairo Zivkovic who plays for FC Groningen in the Dutch Eredivisie and is also the club’s youngest ever goal scorer. The Dutch club’s director, Hans Nijland, had announced previously that Liverpool are putting together a deal to buy Zivkovic. He said, ”All the top clubs in Holland want him but Liverpool are here every week too. They are watching him closely and are very keen.”

Ilori on the left, Sakho on the right?
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you.
Belgian broadsheet Sport Wereld report that the transfer of Everton midfielder Marouane Fellaini to Manchester United is all but certain to happen in the remaining hours of the summer transfer window.
Good to see Sakho, Moses, and Ilori at the match, hopefully we wrap those up quickly. Would be a very positive way to finish the window.

Hope so.
