Lucas could be set for Liverpool exit

Liverpool are ready to listen to offers for Lucas Leiva, according to Sky Sports.

The midfielder has been at Anfield for the past eight years, and has racked up two hundred and seventy-five appearances in all competitions, scoring six goals.

He was part of the squad that won the League Cup in 2012, and was named the club’s Player of the Year a season earlier.

However, he was left out of the Reds’ opening day victory at Stoke City and could be set for a move as he sits behind captain Jordan Henderson, Philippe Coutinho and new signing James Milner in the Liverpool pecking order.

Lucas has been capped twenty-four times for Brazil, and was part of their squad for the 2011 Copa America in Argentina.

Liverpool finished in sixth place last season, and can be backed at a price of 13/8 to end this campaign in the top four.
