Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers will hold more talks over the signing of AC Milan striker Mario Balotelli today. The Daily Mail says Rodgers is now exploring the possibility of bringing the 24-year-old to Anfield after growing frustrated in the pursuit of other targets.
Milan would prefer a permanent deal and that could yet prove an obstacle as Liverpool understandably have concerns about his behaviour.
His agent Mino Raiola has flown to England to ascertain what Liverpool want to do and see if other English clubs are interested.
Since returning to Italy, he has scored 30 goals in 54 games, the same amount he scored for City in 80 games.
