Transfer News: Liverpool FC lining up former Cardiff City icon Gary Medel to replace Steven Gerrard

Saturday 11th July 2015

By Gareth Rogers


Gary Medel left Cardiff City for Inter Milan last summer and now he could be heading to Anfield after success at the Copa America



Liverpool are considering making a big-money move for former Cardiff City midfielder Gary Medel - according to reports in Chile.

The Chile international, who played a season in the Premier League after joining the Bluebirds from Sevilla, played a key role in securing the Copa America title for his country.



Now Brendan Rodgers reportedly sees 'El Pitbul' as the man to fill the void in the Anfield midfield left by superstar Steven Gerrard - who has moved to LA Galaxy in the MLS.

According to La Tercera, Liverpool boss Rodgers was impressed with Medel’s performances during the South American tournament and is now firmly on their transfer radar.



With Steven Gerrard’s departure to the MLS, the Reds are in the market for midfield options and despite his good form for Inter last season after leaving South Wales for £9m, Metro claim Medel’s future at the San Siro is unclear after the signing of midfielder Geoffrey Kondogbia from Monaco.

Great at what he does, but very one dimensional. Not a scratch on Gerrard and will never make the impact he did! Gerrard had it all defensive would score goals pick passes etc etc

Liverpool want ex-Cardiff man
July 12 2015


Liverpool are eyeing a move for Inter Milan midfielder Gary Medel.

The 27-year-old became Cardiff City’s record-buy at £11m two years ago but he moved to the San Siro 12 months later after the Bluebirds suffered relegation from the top flight.

However, after impressing for Chile in their Copa America winning campaign, the Reds are keen to bring the man nicknamed “Pitbull” back to England.



Geoffrey Kondogbia’s recent move from Monaco to Inter means Medel could be allowed to leave the club and Brendan Rodgers feels he would add some much needed steel to his midfield.

I don't think he's good enough for a top 5 premiership team but if he goes then I hope he does really well.

I hope for Liverpool's sake they don't get embroiled in a relegation battle otherwise Pit Bull will disappear from March onwards....

He's not good enough for them. Will soon find himself on the bench imo.

Hope he doesn't go to Liverpool, the biggest glory fan team in South Wales. I even want the jacks to beat them.

I loved Medel when he was with us and if this happens I fancy he will soon be a fan favourite. Would love to see him playing in the PL to see how he gets on.
