Sebastian Leto's future at Liverpool is in serious doubt.
The News of the World says Leto, 21, has not played for the club since December as Italian cops are probing the validity of thousands of citizenship decisions.
The Argentinian, who has an Italian grandparent, has been caught up in the mess and Liverpool are not prepared to risk playing him until the probe is concluded.
Boss Rafa Benitez favours sending the winger on loan to Spain but may have to sell.
