… Offers Borini in exchange for Lazio midfielder
Liverpool has offered Fabio Borini to Lazio in exchange for Nigeria midfielder Ogenyi Onazi.
According to report in Italian and English media, Onazi is a January transfer target for the Anfield giants and the former European champions had made a bold step to get him in a swap deal plus £8 million.
‘The club is desperate for more strength in the midfield and Brendan Rodgers has identified 22-year-old Onazi as the man to help the Reds do well in the Premier League, africanFootball.com reports.
The Nigeria international is a key man for the Serie A club, but Liverpool is looking to take advantage of Lazio’s long-term interest in Borini by offering the former Chelsea and Roma forward plus £8million for Onazi’s services.
Borini has failed to impress this season alongside Liverpool’s other misfiring strikers, and Rodgers is ready to part ways with the Italian as he looks to engineer an early return for Lille loanee Divock Origi.
Onazi, who has been linked to move to EPL sides Everton and Liverpool, only recently extended his contract at Lazio.
