Liverpool are looking at Peruvian defender Carlos Zambrano
to bolster their backline this summer.
The centre-back has been a key part of the Eintracht
Frankfurt team that is overachieving in this year's Bundesliga, currently
sitting in the Champions League places.
One of the club's directors Bruno Hübner revealed:
"There is interest from Liverpool in Carlos Zambrano. They have asked
about him, but there has not been an offer yet."
Brought over to Germany by Schalke at the age of 16 after
some impressive displays in the U17 World Cup of 2005, he could never secure
his place in the first team and was loaned out to newly-promoted St Pauli.
Zambrano remained in Hamburg with St Pauli even after their
relegation, and was sufficiently impressive in the 2. Bundesliga to catch the
eye of Armin Veh at Eintracht Frankfurt.
Veh recently said that Zambrano "would fit any of the
top clubs in Europe", and after paying just €1.2million for him in the
summer, Frankfurt would be looking at a significant profit if Liverpool were to
come back in with an offer.
