Reds continue chase for striker Jackson Martinez
Rumours of Liverpool’s potential move for Porto’s Colombian forward Jackson Martinez refuse to disappear, with agent Peppino Tirri claiming the Reds are preparing a £27.5m bid.
After claims from the Martinez camp in recent days that he was happy to stay at the Estadio Dragao until the end of the campaign, Tirri – an agent used by the Portuguese side when negotiating in Italy previously – is quoted as declaring that the Reds have made their move.
Tirri is quoted as saying: “Liverpool are in for Jackson. AC Milan? That’s unlikely. Porto won’t yield an inch from their €35million [£27.5m] release clause.”
