Liverpool are hoping to sign Fc Twente’s Douglas on a free transfer this summer as a replacement for Jamie Carragher, according to the Daily Mail.
The 25-year old, full name Douglas Franco Teixeira, has been a long-term transfer target for Newcastle United, who failed with a £4 million bid last summer. Italian giants Inter Milan have also shown an interest, and Brendan Rodgers has decided to enter the fray having realised the Brazilian is out of contract.
The Northern Irishman reportedly has no more than £25 million to spend on new players this summer, and he is understood to want four new recruits. The signing of Douglas on a free transfer then would seem to suit the Reds, who are unlikely to free up funds for new recruits through any sale of Luis Suarez.

Newcastle United have agreed a £5 million transfer fee with Fc Twente for their imposing 6’4″ center-back Douglas, according to The Daily Express today.
The Magpies’ managing director Derek Llambias traveled to Holland on Friday to reportedly enter advanced negotiations with Twente for their 21-year-old striker Luuk de Jong, but we did report that the Toon’s interest in Douglas hadn’t diminished and his falling out this week with the Twente boss Steve McClaren would likely improve Newcastle’s chances of securing the deal.
24-year-old Brazil born Douglas Franco Teixeira is generally thought to be one of the top two defenders in the Eridivise, alongside Ajax’s Jan Vertonghen who Alan Pardew also had interest in before Spurs looked certain to land him (though coincidentally that move seems to have broken down too).
