Liverpool are set to agree a Bosman-style transfer of the Standard Liege, and Serbian, striker Milan Jovanovic.
The 28 year old international will be out of contract in the summer and the reds look set to bring him to Anfield in July on a 3 year contract.
Liverpool are without much in the way of funds for the summer and are believed to be trailing another 2 players in similar summer deals.
Last year both Everton and Aston Villa were chasing the player but he immediately refused a move to Goodison Park, saying:
“Everton aren’t a big club. That club I have turned down already.”
Jovanovic has won 3 titles in the last 7 seasons, one in Russia with Lokomotiv Moscow, and two with his present club Standard Liege in Belgium. He has scored 68 times in 138 appearances for Standard Liege, and has scored 17 times in his 23 international appearances, having only started his international career 2 and a half years ago.
