Liverpool Close In On Major Manchester United Target
Liverpool have reportedly taken the lead in the race to sign Dutch maestro Memphis Depay after launching an offer to sign the PSV star.
åÊ
The winger has been heavily linked with a move to the Premier League since January, with Manchester United manager Louis Van Gaal known to be keen on signing the player he managed during his time in charge of Netherlands.
åÊ
According to the Metro, Brendan Rodgers has moved to trump LiverpoolÛªs rivals by launching an offer in excess of å£18million which they hope will tempt PSV into selling.
åÊ
United are said to have already made an offer for the 21-year-old star, but Rodgers is prepared to increase his offer to å£23.7million to help land Depay.

The Reds are expected to bring in a number of players in the summer after failing to match their efforts in the Premier League from last season. Should the club also lose Raheem Sterling, then Depay could become the first name on RodgerÛªs wish list.
