Liverpool have expressed interest in Inter Milan striker Mauro Icardi. Reds boss Brendan Rodgers remains in the market for a new striker signing after the collapse of a deal for QPR's Loic Remy last week.
Sportmediaset says Liverpool have sounded out Icardi's camp about a move to England, but Inter president Erick Thohir will be reluctant to sell.
Rodgers is turning to Icardi after ruling out a move for AC Milan's volatile striker Mario Balotelli.
However, Icardi is also no stranger to controversy, indulging in a love spat with former teammate Maxi Lopez throughout last season on the pitch and in cyberspace.
