Liverpool FC transfer rumours: Benfica ace on Brendan Rodgers' radar, Luciano Vietto favours Anfield move
A round-up of Liverpool transfer rumours and gossip from around the web
The Argentine winger has been in fine form for the Portuguese giants this term, notching 13 goals and five assists in 34 appearances. Benfica would loathe to let him go but would have no option but to accept a bid should Liverpool meet the player's 60m Euro release clause.
In fact, Portuguese media report that Salvio will look to sign a new contract with the club in the coming months in order to lower that release clause and pave the way for a move to Anfield.

Tuttomercato report that the striker, who has notched 12 goals in 26 La Liga games, is one of Brendan Rodgers' top transfer targets this summer as he looks to bolster his forward line.
Vietto only joined Villarreal from his homeland in the summer, but such has been his impact in Spain that a whole host of top European clubs have been tipped to sign him.
Recently, the 21-year-old's agent, Jorge Cyterszpiler, confirmed that the striker could leave the Yellow Submarine in favour of a bigger club.
"He [Vietto] might leave in the summer. It is normal that the best clubs in the world are after him," Cyterszpiler said.
"If big clubs make an offer, we need to talk. The offer must be very good, not only for us but also for Villarreal."
