Liverpool accept Insua bid

(GSM) – Liverpool have accepted a bid from Fiorentina for their Argentinian left-back Emiliano Insua, who has left the Reds’ pre-season preparation in Switzerland.

The 21-year-old, who had endured a disappointing campaign with the Reds last season, was not included in the squad that faced Al-Halil in the abandoned pre-season friendly.

The Merseyside club have confirmed that they have reached an agreement with La Viola, believed to be £5million, with the Argentina international having left for the complex in Bad Ragaz, Switzerland to meet with La Viola officials.

A club spokesman said: “We have agreed a fee for the sale of Emiliano Insua to Fiorentina and given them permission to speak with the player.

“Emiliano has now left our Swiss training camp and we’ll make further comment when appropriate.”
