Liverpool are ready to listen to offers for a young midfield star, while Chelsea sent scouts to watch two strikers on Tuesday night, according to Thursday’s newspapers.
LIVERPOOL MISFIT SET FOR PERMANENT EXIT
Liverpool are reportedly ready to listen to permanent offers for Allan Rodrigues de Souza.
The midfielder is currently on loan at Fluminense, having failed to obtain a UK work permit, and seemingly has no future at Anfield – as reported by UOL, via Sport Witness.
Allan has already been loaned out to various other clubs, including Eintracht Frankfurt, Apollon Limassol and Hertha Berlin.
Fluminense are believed to be keen to keep the 22-year-old on loan, but that would mean him having to extend his current Reds deal, which expires next summer.
Sao Paulo have also entered the race for the midfielder, suggesting Allan’s days on Merseyside are numbered.
