Liverpool Transfers: Five players Liverpool should sell in 2014

4. Fabio Borini

Fabio Borini has had a long-standing relation with Brendan Rodgers and the boss seems to have high hopes from the Italian. His opening season with Liverpool was marred by injury but he did grab a goal at the fag-end of the last season which would have boosted his morale. He is a poacher with potential and he has exhibited that during his loan-spell at Sunderland where he put in a critical goal in the derby against Newcastle. He piled further injury, to the cheer of the Reds, upon Manchester United rolling in a penalty in the first leg of the semi-final of Capital One cup. However, he has failed to make the first team regularly for Sunderland ahead of Jozy Altidore, a striker who has been struggling for goals, and that does not speak well of his abilities. Moreover, the sound bytes emerging that he wants a return back to Italy are not doing his case any good. He has age on his side and he can be a potential understudy to Sturridge and Suarez next season but nothing more. Add to that the possibility of Suarez leaving and Sturridge’s vulnerability to injury and that calls for a new ready-to-go striker. Borini will have his share of suitors and Liverpool must make sure that they get the right price on him in the summer.
