Liverpool are being linked with a double swoop for Palermo's Amauri and Real Zaragoza's Gabriel Milito.
The Reds have held a long-term interest in the pair and reports suggest they could make a move for the duo in the summer.
Liverpool chief Benitez is busy planning for next season and he is set to be handed a substantial transfer kitty by American owners to Tom Hicks and George Gillett to build a team capable of challenging for the Premiership title.
Benitez is widely expected to bring in a new striker and Palermo's Brazilian-born hit-man Amauri could be one of his top targets.
Amauri's agent Mariano Grimaldi claims Benitez is a big admirer of Amauri, but says they could face a fight for his signature with a number of other clubs tracking him.
"Benitez is an admirer and considers him to be the best striker in Europe along with Didier Drogba," Grimaldi told The Sun.
"However, Liverpool are not the only ones after Amauri. There are offers coming from several clubs.
"But Liverpool have kept an eye on him for quite a while now."
Liverpool have been chasing Milito for some time and they failed in a bid to land him two seasons ago.
However, the Argentine international has opened the door for Liverpool to rekindle their interest in him by suggesting he would be interested in a switch to Anfield.
Reports emanating from Spain suggest Liverpool are ready to offer Mark Gonzalez plus money to try and persuade Zaragoza to do business for Milito.
"This is my opportunity to join a big club in Europe," Milito is quoted as saying in the Mirror.
"Liverpool have a Spanish coach, which is very important for me."
