St Etienne Demand £13.5m For Liverpool Target

St Etienne has told Liverpool they will need to pay £13.5m to sign winger Dimitri Payet.

The France international has been on the Reds' radar ever since Damien Comolli left the Ligue 1 club to join Liverpool as Director of Sporting Strategy last year.

Liverpool is understood to be keen on signing a winger this summer, with Aston Villa's Stewart Downing their priority target.

But Payet, who is of a similar style, could be an alternative for Kenny Dalglish and now St Etienne have set the price for the 24-year-old schemer, after rejecting a £7m bid from PSG.
