Jurgen Klopp’s wants of fresh attacking reinforcements could take the Liverpool FC boss to Italy amid recent reports from Todo Fichajes claiming that the Reds are keen on Atalanta forward Duvan Zapata.
The defending champions of England have failed to emulate their past exploits when in front of the goal as the likes of Roberto Fimrino and Sadio Mane, along with fringe first-teamers Divock Origi and Xherdan Shaqiri, struggle to make a lasting impact despite extended involvement.
A barren run of showings across Premier League action is understood to convince Klopp of targeting attacking players in the summer transfer window and Zapata fits the bill of a proven goalscorer the under-fire Merseyside Reds want to add to their injury-depleted ranks at Anfield.
The 29-year-old Zapata is seen as a viable addition to Klopp’s side and speculation indicates that the Merseysiders have opened talks with the Italian outfit over the Columbian international’s transfer.
With 13 goals already to his name in the ongoing campaign, Zapata’s price-tag worth €60 million is not likely to prevent Liverpool FC from extending a concrete approach for him, especially as Jurgen Klopp seeks to get rid of deadwood in the summer from the club.
