Injured Liverpool target close to return for Roma
While playing with Roma’s primavera side, Palmieri went 60 minutes in their 2-1 loss to Inter Milan’s youngsters.
Liverpool is in desperate need of defensive help this January, and they feel the left-back will provide an immediate injection of quality, as well as youth, to the backline at Anfield. Jurgen Klopp is enamored to the point that he’s willing to drop €22 on the 23-year-old just returning from serious injury.
As his health improves, Roma will be faced with a difficult decision. Rick Karsdorp is now out with the same ACL injury, and the club has struggled to find a permanent winger. Selling a healthy Palmieri to Liverpool would eliminate a quality option.
