Liverpool rival Arsenal for Bayern Munich's Javi Martinez

Liverpool are keeping tabs on Javi Martinez's situation at Bayern Munich. The People says Liverpool are ready to join the bidding if Martinez leaves Bayern Munich this summer.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has made no secret of his admiration for the 25-year-old Spanish international, who joined the German giants in a £36million move from Athletic Bilbao in 2012.

But Kop boss Brendan Rodgers wants to boost his back-line by signing a top- class central defender, and he will urge the club to spend big to attract the right player to help Liverpool's Premier League title bid and Champions League campaign next season.
