Reds to receive bids for fringe players

AFC Bournemouth are targeting Liverpool striker Rickie Lambert as they seek to strengthen their squad in time for the Premier League campaign, according to the Daily Mail.

The newly-promoted side are willing to rescue Lambert from Liverpool after the forward was used sparingly last season by Brendan Rodgers.

Signed from Southampton for £4 million, the England forward has gone on to score only three goals for his boyhood club.

After rejecting a move to Aston Villa in January, the 33-year-old may be willing to move this summer in search of regular first team football.

Another Liverpool striker potentially on his way out is Italian international Fabio Borini.

The ex-Chelsea player was one of Rodgers’ first signing when he took over in 2012.

After returning from a successful loan spell from Sunderland, he only made 14 appearances last season, scoring one goal.

Lazio are interested in the striker and are willing to pay up to £5 million for him.

The third Liverpool attacker that may depart Liverpool this summer is Mario Balotelli.

The 24-year-old was signed for £16 million from AC Milan and went on to make 21 appearances for the Reds.

He was part of a Liverpool strike force that collective failed to find the net regularly, scoring only three goals.

Italian club Sampdoria are offering him a reprieve as they look to take the Italy international on loan, and want Liverpool to contribute to a part of his weekly wage but the Reds are unwilling.

Defender Sebastian Coates looks set to make a permanent move to Sunderland, with The Express reporting that the Uruguayan will make a £3.5m move to Wearside.

He spent the whole of last season at loan with the Black Cats and contributed heavily as they avoided the drop, under Dick Advocaat.

Meanwhile, reports emerged last night of Liverpool’s interest in 18-year-old Joe Gomez.

The versatile defender is rated very highly at Charlton Athletic and the Reds are set to bid for for him.
