Arsenal reportedly want the winger, but Liverpool should challenge them for his signature.
Liverpool boss Jürgen Klopp will surely be looking to bolster his ranks at Anfield this month, although it is unclear how much he actually has to spend, having spent lavishly during the last two transfer windows.
With this in mind, he might just have to be thrifty in his player recruitment, and there might just be a wonderful opportunity waiting out there for the Reds.
According to a report from the Daily Mail, James Rodriguez could be available on loan this month, for the small price of just £3 million, and Liverpool quite simply must make a move for the Colombian.
The 27-year-old is currently nearing the end of a two-year loan spell with Bayern Munich, and the German giants are reportedly willing to allow him to leave, as long as whichever club signs him pays the remaining amount of money that Real Madrid are owed for his services.
Rodriguez can play anywhere along the front-line, and he is one of Europe’s most talented technicians.
His ability on the ball, combined with his direct style of play would surely see him slot perfectly into Liverpool’s front-line.
If Klopp continues to deploy a 4-2-3-1 system, the Colombian could play out wide on the right, with Sadio Mane on the left and Roberto Firmino slotted in behind Mohamed Salah.
Rodriguez could also play in the number 10 role behind Firmino, with Salah out on the right.
The former Porto and Monaco ace possesses the kind of ability that would take Liverpool to another level entirely, and Klopp simply must attempt to bring him to Anfield this month.
