Derby battle for Liverpool transfer, player now likelier to go to second option

 

Liverpool midfielder Lucas Leiva really should start looking for houses in Milan.

The player has been strongly linked to an Inter Milan move lately, and even though the recent reports from Italy said the club would give up on the transfer, it still shouldn’t spoil Lucas’ plans to visit the city.

That’s because according to Tuttosport today, it’s now their rivals Milan who would be thinking of signing the 29-year-old.

The Rossoneri are currently in a difficult financial situation, and in order to even their money, they can’t afford spending in the January market.

That’s why Lucas would be a great addition, as the player is available to leave the Reds now and maybe sign a permanent contract at the end of the season.

Milan director Adriano Galliani is said to be the one working on the deal, but any further contacts are still to be made.

Lucas has 14 appearance for Liverpool this season, but clearly isn’t a unreleasable piece of Jurgen Klopp’s squad.
