Aguero on his way to Anfield

Liverpool Football Club could be set to break Atletico Madrid hearts for a second time.

In the summer of 2007 the Reds paid over £20million to take Vicente Calderon idol Fernando Torres to Anfield, in what has been a hugely successful move.

Argentine forward Sergio Aguero has since taking over the Spanish international’s mantle for Atletico, but reports in Spain suggest he is also a target for Rafael Benitez.

The 20-year-old cost €20million when he was signed from Independiente, and if Atletico decide to cash in, they would be looking for a figure in the region of €30million.

If the Merseyside club feel this is a valuation they can meet, they are likely to face fierce competition for the youngster, with Manchester City prepared to top any salary offer.
