Liverpool Open Negotiations For South American Ace

Liverpool has reportedly opened negotiations for the summer switch of Fiorentina midfielder Juan Manuel Vargas.

According to reports in the Sun, Liverpool have begun talks with the Serie A club over the potential switch of Vargas, who is also believed to be a target for German giants Bayern Munich.

The versatile Peruvian has indicated that he is ready to call time on his Fiorentina career, after enjoying four years in Florence.

The 28 year-old will be entering the final year of his contract at the end of the season, and with Fiorentina having already rejected an £8 million bid for the player, it appears as though Liverpool are in pole position to get their man.

Vargas can operate anywhere along the left flank, having initially started his career at Fiorentina as a full-back, before progressing to a more advanced position.

It is expected that Fiorentina will try and recoup some of the €12 million they paid Catania in 2008.
