Liverpool readying £12m bid for Guilherme Siqueira
LIVERPOOL are ready to step up their efforts to sign Guilherme Siqueira by making a bid for him according to reports in Spain.
The 27-year-old was previously a target for Everton, who were originally lining up a move for him as a contingency plan for Leighton Baines should he go.
The Reds are looking to provide Luis Enrique with competition at the left-back spot.
Real Madrid are also thought to be hunt but need to sell Fabio Coentrao first in order to get their man.
According to Spanish paper AS, Brendan Rodgers is set to make a £12m bid for the Granada full-back.
However, the paper goes on to claim that the figure falls well short of his £21m release clause.
Siqueira was an ever-present last season for Granada racking up 35 appearances in La Liga.
