Changing from Blue to RED...

Liverpool are reportedly preparing to launch a £15million bid for Chelsea forward Daniel Sturridge.

Sturridge is thought to be unhappy at Chelsea, largely due to Andre Villas-Boas, who was sacked as manager at the start of March, playing him in a wide role last season.

And after falling out of favour in the closing stages of the season under interim boss Roberto Di Matteo, and missing out on England's Euro 2012 squad, it is believed the 22-year-old is considering a move away from Stamford Bridge.

Arsenal are thought to be keen, as are former club Manchester City, but according to the Daily Star Sunday, new Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers is keen on luring the unsettled forward to Anfield.

Sturridge, who would be a replacement for Dirk Kuyt, has just twelve months remaining on his contract at Chelsea and is likely to fall down the pecking order at Stamford Bridge next season as the west London club are keen on bringing in Porto striker Hulk to play alongside Fernando Torres.

Eden Hazard and Marko Marin have also joined Chelsea.

Last week it was reported by Goal.com that Man City boss Roberto Mancini wants the England international to return to the Etihad Stadium as he prepares to strengthen his title-winning squad this summer.

Should Sturridge move back to Manchester, however, it could leave City out of pocket.

The player who would likely replace Edin Dzeko in the City squad left the north west in 2009, joining Chelsea after his contract expired. Because of his age, City were eventually awarded £6.5million compensation by a tribunal.

City are thought to be entitled to 15 per cent of any sell-on fee as part of the deal agreed with the west London outfit, but Sturridge is now valued at around £12m.
