Liverpool still in Suarez negotiations?

It looks as if Liverpool this transfer window have to let go of three offensive players:

Nathan Eccleston who now is on loan at Charlton Athletic, David Amoo who has joined MK Dons on loan and Ryan Babel who has ended up in Hoffenheim, sold for about £6m.

If Milan Jovanovic also disappears from Anfield during the month, Liverpool may end up with a strike force who consists of just Fernando Torres, David N’gog and Spanish youngster Dani Pacheco, with the option of using Dirk Kuyt up top if needed.

And, speaking of Jovanovic...
According to Goal.com German side Wolfsburg are believed to have put forward an offer of €7 million to acquire his services.

The 29-year-old put in impressive performances for Standard Liege and moved to Merseyside on a free transfer, but has since been unable to replicate his form for the Reds.

The former Lokomotiv Moscow man has in the past expressed a desire to trudge on and fight for a regular spot in the club's starting line-up, but his agent has admitted that he could be on his way out.

In desember he pledged his future to Liverpool and promised to stay and fight for a place in the Liverpool team.

Anyway, it seems inevitable Liverpool is going to need strengthening the Anfield striking force. It is going to be a test of the ambitions John W. Henry and NESV.

However, Ajax seems to stand firm over the Luis Suarez situation.

It has gone very quiet, but rumours surfacing on the net today is saying the striker might hand in a transfer request, that Damien Comolli still is in Amsterdam, and that negotiations are still ongoing.

Some has even suggested that Dirk Kuyt might be wanted to go the other way, back to Holland and Ajax.

Also De Telegraaf today say Liverpool has not given up the transfer, still having hopes for a deal to be struck.

A transfer that might go through in the summer is for Lille attacker Gervinho.

Now it has emerged that the €14 million-rated forward has attracted the interest of Liverpool – along with Lille teammate Eden Hazard – but any move will be postponed until the summer in order not to disrupt the French club.

Speaking on French television show Les Specialistes, Liverpool director of football strategy Damien Comolli said: - We want a forward because we lack pace and penetration on the flanks, he said GiveMeFootball report.

- Gervinho and Hazard are super players but I know the Lille board well and they won't sell in January.

However, Liverpool are still reportedly amongst the frontrunners for Gervinho when he becomes available, although he has stated his intention to remain with Lille for the short-term at least.

Elsewhere, it looks like Liverpool January target Mark van Bommel has left Bayern Munich to join AC Milan.

The 33-year-old had been linked with a move to Liverpool but has opted to move to Italy and sign for the Serie A giants, Talksport report.

Bayern agreed to terminate van Bommel’s contract six months early to allow the tough-tackling midfielder to make the move.
