Liverpool Join Race For Fiorentina Midfielder Mario Bolatti

According to a report in Argentinian newspaper Ole, Premier League giants Liverpool are considering making a move for highly rated midfielder Mario Bolatti, currently under contract with Fiorentina.

The Reds are in the market for a new midfielder because of the possible departure of Javier Mascherano this summer and new manager Roy Hodgson supposedly sees the 25-year-old Bolatti as the perfect replacement.

Bolatti started his professional career with Belgrano and also played for Porto and Huracan before joining Fiorentina in January 2010. However, he has been unable to settle in his new surroundings and could therefore be on the move again.

The Argentinian international initially appeared to be on his way to River Plate on a one-year loan deal, but Liverpool's interest could very well convince Bolatti to stay in Europe after all.
