Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers remains keen on Swansea City striker Wilfried Bony. The People says Rodgers has had the Swansea scoring sensation at the top of his wish list for weeks and still sees him as the best man for the job.
Bony is keen on making a move to Merseyside too - but the major obstacle is that the Anfield giants' 'transfer committee' are worried the 25-year-old is not worth his £19million price-tag.
The striker - a hit in his first Premier League season - has the fixed fee in his contract and Swans supremo Huw Jenkins is sticking to it.
Rodgers is happy to pay the cash and bring in Bony to team up with Daniel Sturridge and Rickie Lambert, as he looks to fill the gap left by Luis Suarez.
