Boost For Liverpool In Hunt For Peru Star

Liverpool have received a boost in their pursuit of Juan Manuel Vargas after Fiorentina put the Peru international up for sale.

Italian newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport reports that Fiorentina have decided to part ways with the 28-year-old, who is currently training on his own in Florence while his team-mates are away at a pre-season camp in Moena.

Fiorentina sporting director Daniele Prade has already informed Vargas’ agent Carlos Delgado that his client is free to leave, with the Italian side looking to recoup a fee in the region of £3.9m to £4.7m for the full-back, who can also operate as a winger.

News of Vargas’ availability will interest Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers, who is thought to be looking to add to his squad before the start of the new Premier League season in two and a half weeks’ time.
