Liverpool have reportedly allowed midfielder Lucas Leiva to join Inter Milan on a loan deal until the end of the season.

Lucas has struggled for regular minutes on the pitch for Liverpool during the current campaign and with the Reds performing so well at the moment; the Brazilian will surely find it difficult to break into the first team anytime soon.

As a result, it is widely expected that Lucas will be leaving Anfield during the upcoming January transfer window and according to reports from the Daily Mail, the 29-year-old has been given the green light to join the Nerazzuri for the remainder of the 2016/17 campaign.
