Liverpool Want Adriano - Italian Media According to the febrile Italian media, Liverpool are preparing a January bid for Inter's troubled star Adriano...
Brazilian strikerAdriano has been a square peg in a round hole at InterMilan for sometime, and his future at the San Siro is not beingmeasured in years.But is he the sort of player who would fit into RafaBenitez'stitle-chasing Liverpool squad?
It seems unlikely; yet that is what some sections of the Italian media are speculating this morning.
Thequestionof the looming January transfer market is exercising themedia, andaccording to Italian radio, Liverpool are ready to enter therace forthe 'Emperor' with an £8 million bid.
Leaving asidewhether ornot Adriano is the 'right' player for the Reds at themoment, given theexcellence of Fernando Torres and the summer's heavyoutlay on strikerRobbie Keane, there is the issue of Liverpool'sapparently strainedfinances.
The club's American co-ownersmay succeed in gettinga six-month extension on their debt repayments,which some sources saycould make some £20 million available for thetransfer kitty. Adriano,though, would swallow up a hefty chunk of thatwhen his wage demands arefactored in. After all, the lifestyle he hasto support is not exactlythat of a monk.
Still, Inter clearlywant to offload him, andit is claimed that at least five clubs areinterested, includingChelsea, Manchester City and Real Madrid.
However,it isunderstood that the relationship between Inter coach JoseMourinho andAdriano means a quick sale could be concluded, with thestriker havingthe casting vote on which club he joins.
It stillseems unlikelythat Liverpool would be sufficiently interested to entera bidding war.Then again, stranger things have happened...
