The Reds have been extremely busy already this summer, but if the papers are to be believed, there’s more work to be done yet.
They’ve sold their best player (Luis Suarez) and Brendan Rodgers will now need to work over-time to make amends. Luckily, he has plenty of money to work with.
According to The Mirror, The Reds are set to ‘smash through’ the £100m spending barrier for the first time in the prestigious history. Liverpool announced themselves as potential title-winners last year. During the summer transfer window, they now look set to announce themselves as a financial powerhouse.
They’ve already spent £60m this summer. With some of the players they continue to get linked to, it doesn’t look like it’ll take them too long to hit that £100m mark.
Interestingly enough, that Mirror article also lists The Reds next batch of transfer targets. The players rumoured to be on Liverpool’s hit list are: Juventus’s midfielders Paul Pogba and Arturo Vidal and Borussia Dortmund’s wing-wizard, Marco Reus.
There’s no way The Reds can snap up all three players (even with the money they’ve earned from selling Luis Suarez). Liverpool may have to pick just one.
I’d immediately strike Paul Pogba off the list. Whilst he’s clearly a talented young player, his price-tag is extortionately large. It’s also worth noting that The Reds can already call upon Philippe Coutinho (who looked excellent against Brondy) and Jordan Henderson.
Arturo Vidal may be considered a long-term replacement for Steven Gerrard, but I’m not sure he shares Stevie G’s goal-scoring nous. Marco Reus on the other hand…
Since moving to Dortmund from Monchengladbach, Reus has found the back of the net 42 times in 90 games. That’s an astounding return for somebody who plays out on the flanks. He’s also got bags of pace, great technique and a direct attacking nature.
At 25-years-old, he’s about to enter the best years of his career. If there’s a chance that he’s available, The Reds should spring for him. Let’s just hope that Brendan Rodgers can afford to compete – Reus won’t come cheap.
What’s your take? Who will Liverpool’s next signing be?

Reus is the best Man
I don’t see us getting any of those players mentioned
Am always happy when i heard a rumour about Marco Reus to Liverpool ,and that will help us to compete with Barca and Madrid in cham leagues.
When writing an article like this, Harry Cloke, you should introduce the name of the subject of your article promptly if not immediately. Don’t annoy your reader by having to keep reading to find out who it is.
What do you expect from a typical journalist wannabe, Saldana?
Out of the three player I prefer marco rues because he has champions league experience and will help the team to achieve our aims may God let it possible cos their is nothing possible for God
FFS, speak English, abimbola.
Reus will add more value to what we already have
lfc you are the best and you must buy Reus this summer
Lfc tends to buy players of average quality.we sold best player in the world .look what BR has bought>Aspas,Alberto,Borini. All flops.I dont think any high quality player will play 4 LFC.They rather play 4 Real Barca Juventus. BR will be gone by March or come May. Mark my words.
we lost the best player and we suppose to replace him. Marco reus will be an excellent signing for us and we have the cash to spend. Why can’t we splash the cash him?
Maco reus is the perfect replacement for suarez
To me,out of three let br bring rus to anfield becouse of his goal scoring ability.
I prefered marco rues to any of them. May God makes it a reality
Maco Reus would ve been a perfect signing for my lovely club liverpool. am pleading with BR to get at least one fantastic striker before the transfer window closes.
Maco Reus will be perfect signing
I wil prefer reus or bensema to rplace suarez. pls all livplfc fans let tel our boss to make difference signing lik LD and CD because livpl need new face to use divessive cus of champions league
if am BR i wil rather go for marco ruse or vidal in order to bust are mildfielder for the new season
Come on…wakey wakey sleepy heads..liverpool aint going to sign Rues or vidal this is just tabloid rumours. For now our squad needs a central back ie lovren, left back and we closed for business till january transfer windowvos open. Remy is good enough to lift suarez big boots. Someone will step up this season
Big season for makovic…i believe he will come good after christmass
…..
I don’t think rodgers should go for those players else he will get selection headace
I would go for Reus becouse of champions league experiance added to young talents we have,we will compete with likes of barca and others.
yeah..Marco reus is an ideal target..jux pray he comes anyway..
