Liverpool planning a January swoop for Mexes

Article from La Gazzetta Dello Sport:
Top Italian journalist Filippo Maria Ricci has revealed that Liverpool are planning a January swoop for Roma defender Phillippe Mexes, writes Kevin Hatchard.
Liverpool have been linked with the French international for several years, and tried to sign him on four seperate occasions times this summer.
Despite Liverpool's failure to land the player, Ricci believes the European champions will try again in January:
"It depends on Roma's situation, but the player is definitely out of favour at the moment and they would be willing to let him go if there was money involved."
"I wouldn't be surprised if Liverpool went for him in January. It could be a loan move but Roma want money for him now."
Liverpool made the capture of a top-class centre-back one of their top transfer priorities in the summer, but failed to sign anyone to cover for first-choice pairing Sami Hyypia and Jamie Carragher.
Ricci believes Liverpool see Mexes as the ideal candidate to strengthen the squad at Anfield:
"They need cover and Mexes is a good player. It could be a fresh start for him after the problems he's had at Roma."
"Mexes is young, powerful and good in the air. He could do well at Liverpool."
Class act who is young and pacy.I hope we can find enough money to buy him as we have already tried loaning him before the transfer window...Roma is simply not interested. -
