According to reports, Liverpool managing director has flown over to Spain to facilitate the signing of Real Madrid midfielder Nuri Sahin and to complete a loan deal for Cristian Tello of Barcelona.
Tello, Spain youth international is out of contract at the end of next season and has been targeted by several clubs, including Valencia and Benfica.
Liverpool would have to pay around £7million to land the winger, who can operate on either flank in an attacking front three, taking his summer spending spree beyond the £30million mark following the arrivals of Fabio Borini and Joe Allen.
But it is understood the new Kop boss would be interested in a season-long loan deal with an option for a permanent contract.
Meanwhile, Liverpool will rival the Gunners for Real Madrid midfielder Nuri Sahin with the Reds looking to capitalise on Rodgers' good relationship with former Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho.
Real boss Jose Mourinho has given Sahin the green light to leave the Bernebeu after using the battling midfielder only sparingly as an auxiliary left-back during pre-season.
If Cristian Tello and Nuri Sahin moves are legitimate, what about Gaston Ramirez?
