# Borini and Kovacic to swap clubs?

Liverpool are ready to step up their interest in Inter Milan’s Mateo Kovacic by offering striker Fabio Borini as part of a deal to sign the midfielder.\
\
The Serie A club have reiterated that they will not sell for anything below their asking price which currently stands at €25million, according to Italian broadcaster *Sport Mediaset.*\
\
Now, *Gazetta dello Sport* are reporting that Brendan Rodgers and Liverpool are willing to include Italian forward Borini in a new offer, after their initial £15m bid was thought to be rejected by Inter.

It is believed that personal terms have been agreed between the Croatian midfielder and the Merseyside club and a disagreement regarding the fee is what is holding back a potential deal from being completed.

The 21-year-old made 40 club appearances this year for Inter, with six goals and three assists.\
\
Borini, who has found appearances at Anfield hard to come by since joining in July 2012, was also linked with Lazio towards the end of the Barclays Premier League season.
