Reds willing to pay Lacazette asking price

According to French media outlet Le10 Sport, Liverpool are willing to meet the asking price of €30m for Lyon striker Alexandre Lacazette.

The report says that the French club will do business if the bid is sufficient and if they can find a replacement for the striker.

Liverpool are on the market for a new forward and are monitoring numerous targets including Christian Benteke and Salomon Rondon.

Benteke is thought to be Brendan Rodgers’ main target but the Reds are unwilling to meet the release clause of £32.5m for the Belgian international.

Therefore if French media reports are true, Liverpool have sought after 24-year-old Lacazette, who is likely to be a less expensive alternative.

Lacazette has established himself as one of the most clinical strikers in Europe in recent years, and scored 27 goals in 33 league matches last season, along with six assists.
