Mixed fortunes for Rodgers as he targets two young stars
Valencia starlet Paco Alcacer, 21, is preparing to sign a new five-year contract at the club, ending any hopes of Liverpool signing the young striker in the near future.
Meanwhile, Brendan Rodgers will continue to pursue Birmingham City’s Demarai Gray, who has continued to light up the Championship in recent months with a series of impressive performances.
Red Bull Salzburg are the latest team to show an interest in the player, but it is understood that Liverpool have first option to buy, at least according to reports in the Metro.
