Liverpool could be set to make a shock move for Brazilian International on deadline day.

According to Daily Mail reporter Sami Mokbel, the Reds are in talks with the Damiao’s club Internacionale to sign the highly-rated striker on loan.

Mokbel Tweeted “LFC weighing up Leandro Damiao. Been offered the option of season long loan at cost of £3m.”

“Option to sign him on perm for £13m next summer.”

Several other reliable sources on Twitter have confirmed that the Brazilian has been offered to Liverpool, although according to sum wages may be a stumbling block for the Merseyside club.

The striker, who turned 23 this July, has scored 70 goals in 116 games at club level, while his performances and 6 goals in the London Olympics this summer led to some real praise from the footballing world.

Damiao had been expected to move to Tottenham until a few days ago, but Spurs did not offer enough money according to Goal.com.
