Liverpool Deadline Day Transfer Rumours: Juan Manuel Vargas Could Be Last One In

(Bleacher Report) Liverpool have reportedly been inquiring about the availability of Juan Manuel Vargas from Fiorentina. The Reds have had previous dealings with the Florence-based Serie A club, as Fiorentino looked to sign Alberto Aquilani on loan earlier in the summer window.

The deal for Aquilani grew cold as the Viola could not match the demands of Liverpool, and the move was called off, with Aquilani heading to AC Milan instead.

Now it would appear that Liverpool could be asking Fiorentina to offer better terms this time if it is true the Reds could make the signing of Vargas their last at the death of the transfer window.

A Peruvian international, Vargas has been with the Italian club since 2008, when he joined on a €12 million fee from Catania after failing to make the grade there.

He has made 80 league appearances for the Viola, scoring 12 goals in the Serie A since making the move. His versatility to play up and down the left side from left back to left wing could be one of the main reasons that he is being scouted by the Reds.

Joe Cole, Christian Poulsen and Alberto Aquilani Want to Make Their Mark as Reds

(Bleacher Report)Liverpool continue to be linked with new faces, and with those rumors also come the rumors of players being on their way out. Joe Cole has been tipped with an exit since the January transfer window with Paris Saint Germain believed to be one of his many admirers. Tottenham Hotspur have also seemed ready to offer a lifeline to the player.

Christian Poulsen has been tipped with an exit since January as well with the former Juventus player having never truly gotten off the ground as a Red. Roy Hodgson purchased him with a belief that perhaps he could fill the void of Javier Mascherano at some point but that has never been the case. Maybe Hodgson could let him move to West Bromwich for a second chance.

Alberto Aquilani is the only one of the three that more than likely could stay as moves to Juventus and no AC Milan seem to have completely broken down. Fiorentina was also linked with the Italian play maker, but he seems intent on remaining a Red.

The one thing all three of them have in common is there desire to fight for their place at Liverpool. Christian Poulsen has come out with comments that he hopes to form a partnership with Charlie Adam at the heart of the Reds midfield.

Roman midfielder Aquilani has claimed he is more than happy to stay and for now it seems he will be remaining on Merseyside until at least January or next summer to see if he will truly be a part of the Reds future plans.
