PSG ace Javier Pastore is attracting interest from Inter Milan, according to Italian media outlet Sport Mediaset, with the Argentine struggling for game-time following the big-money arrivals of Neymar and Kylian Mbappe at the Parc des Princes.

The Reds should consider challenging the Serie A giants for the 28-year-old playmaker, as Jürgen Klopp looks to increase competition for places in his forward department.

Pastore is a classy operator, and is competent when deployed in any position along the frontline. He is an excellent passer of the football, and possesses the kind of creativity that would offer Liverpool an entirely different edge in the final third.

There is no doubting Mohamed Salah or Sadio Mane’s quality, but they are very much one-trick ponies, with their sheer pace being the standout feature of their games.

Sometimes though, Klopp has needed to revert to a plan b, with not many options on the bench, and the German’s failure to adequately mix things up has proved costly on more than one occasion.

And Pastore would be just the man to help address that problem.

The Merseyside outfit would obviously have their work cut out if they did attempt to bring the silky 28-year-old to Anfield, with many of Europe’s most elite clubs interested in acquiring his signature, but the lure of pulling on the famous red strip might just be enough to tip the scales in their favour.
