Liverpool Eye Athletic Bilbao Defender Fernando Amorebieta - Report
The Reds are reportedly plotting a move for the highly-rated defender...
According to The Sun, Liverpool dispatched scouts to check on Fernando Amorebieta in Athletic Bilbao's 2-1 defeat to Barcelona in the first leg of the Supercopa de Espana on Sunday.
The Reds are reportedly keen to bolster their defensive options following a defeat at the hands of Tottenham Hotspur in their opening league fixture, and the 24-year-old appears to be well-placed on manager Rafael Benitez's shortlist.
It is believed that a fee of €11.5 million would be enough to capture Amorebieta, who is a product of Athletic Bilbao's youth ranks.
Hull City defender Michael Turner, who impressed in Saturday's league clash against Chelsea, is also rumoured to be a target of Liverpool, with the Tigers also rating him at €11.5m.
