Daily Mail: Liverpool target Barca ace

Liverpool are interested in signing Barcelona midfielder Seydou Keita in a summer deal worth £2million.

The 32-year-old Malian has been a key member of Pep Guardiola's squad since signing for the Catatan giants back in 2008, but has never been a regular starter.

And the signing of Cesc Fabregas in the summer and the emergence of Thiago Alcantara has pushed him further down the pecking order.

Liverpool are short of cover and experience in central midfield and Keita could well be the ideal man to bolster their options.

Keen to secure regular first-team football as his career draws to a close, Keita - currently away at the Africa Cup of Nations - would be open to a move to Anfield.
