Liverpool Eye Inter Star Esteban Cambiasso - Report

The Reds are eyeing a number of Italy-based midfielders, according to reports doing the rounds in Europe...

Inter's Esteban Cambiasso shows his frustration during the 3-3 draw against Anorthosis Famagusta.
Liverpool have laid their eyes on Inter midfielder Esteban Cambiasso as an alternative if Xabi Alonso leaves Anfield this summer, according to Tuttomercatoweb.com.

Today's report suggests Reds manager Rafael Benitez is preparing himself just in case Spain star Alonso joins Real Madrid. Los Merengues have been keen on Alonso, fuelling speculation that Liverpool are keeping close eyes on Nerazzurri all-rounder Cambiasso.

The 29-year-old Argentine still has a year left on his current deal, but the Nerazzurri have not moved in to secure his services beyond that date just yet.

However, despite the speculation linking Cambiasso with a move to Merseyside, earlier reports from Spain claimed Real Madrid would be pulling out of the race to sign Alonso.

In addition, signing the Argentinean is likely to be hard to get right as Inter boss Jose Mourinho sees Cambiasso as a key part in his squad. The midfielder played 46 games in all competitions last season, scoring five goals altogether.

Conflicting reports in England claim Liverpool are keen on Udinese midfielder Gokhan Inler with the Daily Mail linking the Swiss star with a move to Merseyside.
