Liverpool are considering making a huge bid for Atalanta playmaker Alejandro Gomez, according to reports in his native Argentina.
The 29-year-old was in fine form last season, scoring 16 goals in 36 Serie A appearances and has picked up where he left off this term with four in 18.
And, according to Argentine newspaper Ole, Liverpool could be about to offer £53.5m to Atalanta for the Argentinean international.
Liverpool are in the market for a new creative midfielder following the sale of Philippe Coutinho to Barcelona, and are linked with a number of players across Europe.
