Liverpool still pushing to sign Barca's Song

Liverpool are still pushing to sign Barcelona midfielder Alex Song this summer as Brendan Rodgers looks to keep adding to his squad.

The Reds were first linked with Song two weeks ago with reports in Spain suggesting a deal was close, but all links with the Cameroon international have since died off.

However, El Mundo Deportivo says Liverpool are still firmly in the race for the player and are hopeful of signing Song on-loan.

Arsenal and Marseille have also made approaches for the out of favour player, but Liverpool are keen to add to their midfield options, and Song is the priority.

Barca are thought to be desperate for a permanent deal for about £10million, but Liverpool are keen on a loan first, with a view to a permanent switch next summer.
