Sunderland manager admits another move for Liverpool’s Fabio Borini could happen
Gus Poyet has revealed that despite being snubbed by the striker in the summer he could make another attempt to sign him in 2015.
Borini enjoyed a successful loan spell at the Stadium of Light in 2013/14, but chose to stay at Anfield this time around to fight for his place.
“Could we revisit in January? It depends on where we are — I wouldn’t like to say yes or no because I don’t know how we are going to be or how he is going to be,” Poyet was quoted by ESPN.
