Liverpool have opened transfer talks with Anzhi over Brazilian winger Willian.
Liverpool are targeting Willian after Anzhi indicated they are willing to offload the Samba star just eight months after buying him from Shakhtar Donetsk for £32million as they slash costs.
Brendan Rodgers wants a marquee signing and has set his sights on Willian, who is also wanted by Tottenham, after failing to land Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Diego Costa.
The Reds are yet to talk figures and Anzhi would want to recoup most of the fee they paid for the 25-year-old Willian.
Liverpool would also have to pick up the former Corinthians star's £100,000-a-week wages.
This does not deter them and owners Fenway Sports Group have promised Rodgers they will bankroll a major signing to excite the fans and boost their Champions League hopes.
Liverpool's interest is not dependent on Luis Suarez's future and the club do not need to sell the Uruguayan to land Willian
