Liverpool Transfer News: Fabio Borini Bid Made

we reported they would last week, Liverpool have now made an official transfer bid for Italian striker Fabio Borini, according to The Mirror. New Anfield boss Brendan Rodgers is a huge fan of Borini having coached him through the youth ranks at Chelsea and later signing him on-loan when he was Swansea boss during their successful promotion campaign in the Championship. He scored six times in a 9 game loan spell for Swansea and became an instant hit in the Premier League. 21-year-old Borini is currently away on International duty with Italy at Euro 2012 having impressed this season with 9 goals in 24 games at Roma. The former Chelsea man is co-owned by Parma and a fee would need to be agreed with both clubs for his signature. Borini isn't the only one of his former Swansea players he wants to bring to Merseyside as the pursuit of Gylfi Sigurdsson continues, the Icelandic attacking midfielder who lit up the Premier League in his second half of the season loan from Hoffenheim and was so close to joining Swans permanently before Rodgers made the move to Liverpool.
