Liverpool bids for Atletico striker

Liverpool have tendered a bid of £21m for Diego Costa. The Brazilian striker scored a total of 20 goals in 44 matches last season. Atletico Madrid have sold Radamel Falcao to AS Monaco in June,but the 2012 Europa League champions have replaced him with David Villa and Baptistao.

Costa made his debut for Brazil in March this year.

Brendan Rodgers was quoted as saying that the club has money to spend on quality players. No official statement has been released by the Reds,but Diego Simeone-Atletico coach has stated that Diego Costa can leave the club.

The amount offered by Liverpool meets the buyout clause of the potent Brazilian goal poacher. This move is not connecte with the Luis Suarez saga. The club wanted to pay the same amount for Henrikh Mhktaryan earlier in June.

Liverpool have already signed Iago Aspas,Simon Mignolet,Koko Toure and Luis Alberto this summer.
