Earlier on Monday, we covered claims from Italy that Liverpool were taking an interest in Marcelo Brozović.
The Croatian midfielder is out of contract in the summer, and Calciomercato reported the Reds were among foreign sides lurking for his signing should he not find an agreement with Inter.
Their need for a new midfielder has been widely publicised ever since the departure of Georginio Wijnaldum, and it appears they did make some attempt to replace him in the summer, only to be priced out of a potential deal.
This comes from the same Calciomercato, who reveal Liverpool came forward for Sergej Milinković-Savić, currently at Lazio in Italy.
The Serbian is said to be a ‘sweet obsession’ for Inter’s Beppe Marotta, and a player Juventus ‘have not stopped thinking about’, but Claudio Lotito believes the valuation for his star is €80m.
This was a message ‘also delivered to Liverpool’ last summer, as the club owner ‘wants to hold onto’ the midfielder ‘and plans a future together again’.
That means ‘only a sensational offer could upset a marriage that is making everyone happy’.
Liverpool know what they have to do then.
