Giants Confirm Interest In 21-Year-Old Liverpool Starlet

AC Milan have confirmed their interest in signing Liverpool youngster Suso, but have denied that a deal has been signed between the Spaniard and the Italian giants, as reported by ESPNFC.com.

This comes in contrast to what was recently said by the player’s agent, who claimed that an agreement had been reached between Suso and Milan.

However, Adriano Galliani has admitted that his side are interested in bringing in the 21 year old midfielder.

“It’s something which could hypothetically go through on July 1,” he said.

“They are not only rumours, but there is still everything to be done.

“We have not yet drawn up any contract and there’s no signature. He’s a good player who’s contract is expiring.

“He wants to come here and I’ve known him since he was part of Spain’s under-19s.”

Despite this, there is little chance that Suso will move during the winter window.

Italian clubs have suffered financially recently, and Milan are among them, putting considerable limitations on what they can afford to pay out in wages and transfer fees.

A move is therefore only likely when Suso’s contract expires at the end of the season, something that Galliani admitted when he spoke to the press yesterday.

“We’ve got 28 players and no trophies so right now, nothing can be expected,” he added. “But the market is dynamic so you never know what will happen.”

Suso has found opportunities incredibly limited at Anfield, despite a successful loan spell at Almeria last season.

French Giants Line Up Move For £16m Liverpool Misfit – reports

Liverpool are going to have to deal with surprise interest from Paris Saint Germain for their striker Mario Balotelli, and might be tempted to cut the misfit striker loose, as reported by the Daily Express.

The Italian forward has struggled considerably since moving to Anfield in the summer from AC Milan for £16 million.

He has failed to score in the Premier League, and was dropped in favour of the 32 year old Rickie Lambert earlier this season.

As a result, several clubs are considering a move to end his Liverpool nightmare.

Yesterday, there were suggestions that Greek side Olympiacos could make a move for him.

Now PSG have trained their eyes on the Italian international, with the idea of making a marquee signing to offset any disappointment their fans might feel at the possible departures of Edinson Cavani and Ezequiel Lavezzi.

If PSG can move them on, a move could come to fruition according to reports, as it would no longer be an issue for Financial Fair Play.

Done Deal: Inter Milan Snap Up £11m Liverpool Target

Inter Milan have confirmed the capture of £11 million Liverpool target Xherdan Shaqiri, as reported by Spanish outlet AS.

The Swiss international has been a target of Liverpool’s since the summer, but the club could not reach an agreement with Bayern Munich over his transfer, and the deal fell apart, despite at various points looking close to completion.

Shaqiri has been eyeing up a move away from Bayern in the winter window since the end of the summer transfer period, having seen his first team action hit new lows under manager Pep Guardiola.

While Liverpool were keen, Italian giants Inter have been floating around Shaqiri, and have finally captured their man.

Liverpool were thought to be willing to bid around £11 million.

The transfer will not only come as a blow to the Reds, however, with Stoke City also said to be keen on signing him.

Their assistant manager Mark Bowen confirmed their interest yesterday.
