The Daily Mail is reporting that Liverpool will attempt to undo all the hard work Chelsea has done putting together a deal for the transfer of Shakhtar Donetsk’s Douglas Costa.
Despite being linked with the attacking midfielder for some time Chelsea my now lose out as Liverpool turn their attention to the Brazilian after Roberto Mancini say he expected Reds target Mateo Kovačić to remain at Inter Milan.
Brendan Rodgers is an admirer of the 24-year-old and if it’s true that the moves to sign Kovačić have turned sour, the Liverpool boss could very well try to temp Douglas Costa to swap the Ukraine for Merseyside.
