Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers is keen to make Barcelona's
promising forward Cristian Tello his first summer signing.
The Reds appear to be locked in a three-way battle for
Tello's signature with Spurs also in the frame.
The Reds tried to sign Tello last summer, but they failed to
broker a deal.
Though they moved quickly for Daniel Sturridge and Philippe
Coutinho in January, Rodgers needs cover for Luis Suarez, who was banned for 10
matches for biting Branislav Ivanovic.
Spanish paper Marca suggests Liverpool should have no
problem meeting his £8.4m release clause.
The only potential obstacle to a deal, they note is if Isaac
Cuenca decides to stay at Ajax where he is currently on loan.
Tello who has been on the fringes of the La Liga
champions-in-waiting has still contributed eight goals this campaign.
