Liverpool target £8 million Argentine midfielder

According to reports in today's Daily Mirror, Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez is interested in bringing Real Zaragoza attacking midfielder, Pablo Aimar to Anfield.

The Argentinian international played under Benitez whilst they were at Valencia and Benitez is keen to bring him to Liverpool but will have to bid as much as £8 million.

The 28-year old has been linked with a move to the Premier League before when Liverpool were said to of made a £10 million bid for him before his move to Zaragoza.

Aimar has 47 caps for Argentina and in my view would be a quality signing. I personally feel Reds fans will want Benitez to spend his money on securing the signature of Javier Mascherano but you never know this transfer could happen in the summer.
