NEWS NEWS BLOG SPORT brings you the latest transfer news.

 

Alexandre Pato is reportedly a target for clubs in the Premier League

 

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has asked scouts to find him a world-class striker with the Reds finding goals hard to come by this season.

And one man they could be chasing is former AC Milan striker Alexandra Pato, who's reportedly a target for Manchester United and Chelsea.

Italian website TuttoMercatoWeb report that Liverpool are ready to pay £11million to sign him from Brazilian giants Corinthians. 

 

Manchester United are lining up a £30million move for Switzerland left-back Ricardo Rodriguez, according to reports in Germany.

Rodriguez, 23, would ease United's defensive woes and Bild report that the Red Devils are interested in signing the Swiss star from Bundesliga club Wolfsburg.

The Daily Star linked Chelsea's Belgian forward Eden Hazard with a £65m move to Old Trafford during the week with Wayne Rooney and Anthony Martial struggling to find the net in this campaign.

 

Mario Balotelli, on-loan at AC Milan from Liverpool, is wanted back by on Merseyside, according to TuttoMercatoWeb.

Klopp has held talks with Balotelli's agent, Mino Raiola, about the possibility of the Italian striker making a shock return to Anfield.

Mario Gotze yesterday dropped a hint that he could leave Bayern Munich to be reunited with Klopp at Liverpool. The pair were together at Borussia Dortmund.

 

Chelsea and Manchester United target John Stones is now also a target for Real Madrid and Barcelona, according to the Daily Mail.

Roberto Martinez has denied that Everton have agreed a deal to sell the England man to one of his many suitors in the summer.

But reported interest from La Liga to join either one of the Spanish giants is fuelling more speculation that Stones will leave Goodison Park this year.
