Liverpool keen on Barcelona defender Adriano

Liverpool are looking to strengthen the left side of their defence, with both Enrique and Aly Cissokho failing to hold down a regular first team spot.

Manager Brendan Rodgers tried to fill the position in the January transfer window, but his hunt for a new left back proved unsuccessful.

Reports in Spain suggest Barcelona’s Adriano is Rodgers main target to fill the left back position in the summer. It’s believed that Rodgers is willing to pay around £6million to get the Brazilian star from Barcelona.

Adriano who has made 17 international appearances for Brazil has fallen behind Jordi Alba in the pecking order at Barcelona but a move to Anfield in the summer could be exactly what the full back needs to reignite his career.
