LONDON: Liverpool are ready to make Robbie Keane one of the world’s costliest players this week.
The Merseyside giants are willing to spend an incredible £20mil to land the 28-year-old Spurs striker.
That would take his career transfer value close to a monster £60mil, hot on the heels of Chelsea’s Nicolas Anelka and Hernan Crespo.
Republic of Ireland international Keane is a life-long Liverpool fan and has made it clear he wants to move to Anfield.
Liverpool would be his sixth club with the Kop’s £20mil capping a series of multi-million pound moves.
Coventry paid £6mil to Wolves for Keane in 1999 and subsequent deals have seen him go to Inter Milan for £13mil, Leeds for £12mil and then Tottenham for £7mil in August 2002.
Keane has scored 107 goals in 254 games for Spurs and bagged 33 goals in 80 Irish appearances.
Kop boss Rafa Benitez believes Keane will provide his side with much-needed pace up front alongside main striker and Spanish hero Fernando Torres.
Benitez has already offloaded towering front man Peter Crouch to Portsmouth to make way – although the Kop boss also still needs to offload Xabi Alonso to raise funds.
His expected move to Juventus has fallen down although Arsenal are now on alert.
A source close to Alonso said: “If the decision was down to Xabi, he would make the move. – The Sun, London
