Liverpool To Hijack Benfica's Radamel Falcao Deal – Report
A late swoop could see the Reds usurp Benfica for the forward.
Liverpool have reportedly tabled an offer to sign River Plate striker Radamel Falcao.
Falcao appeared set to sign for Benfica after River Plate paid off the €400,000 debt they had to the the Colombian forward.
However, according to news daily A Bola, Liverpool have lodged a late €3.5 million offer to beat Benfica to the signing of the player.
Although Liverpool's bid is slightly inferior to the one made by Benfica, the prospect of playing in the Premier League may prompt Falcao to choose Anfield as his final destination.
Benfica and River Plate are thought to have agreed a €4 million deal for 80 per cent of Falcao's playing rights, but the final decision now rests on the striker's shoulders.
