Liverpool Contemplate Sale Of Star To Ligue 1 Champions

French club Lille OSC is considering a late move for Liverpool winger Milan Jovanovic, according to the Daily Star.

The Serbia international's transfer to Anderlecht has stalled, as the Belgian side is unwilling to match Jovanovic's colossal wages at Anfield - a staggering £100,000 per week if the Guardian is to be believed - though both parties claim they still hope the switch will go through.

Jovanovic has unquestionably been a disappointment on Merseyside; even if one believes he has rarely been given a chance to prove himself, when he has been selected he has hardly shone.

At 30 he is unlikely to improve much further, and currently Liverpool are likely to welcome any club willing to take him off the wage bill.

"Lille, like Anderlecht, is a nice option for me," claimed Jovanovic.

"This is a good club, which plays at the top of the French game, a high-level competition and who will play the group stage of Champions League. That's interesting. For now, I listen to everyone."
