Fiorentina "considering" Liverpool's Mario Balotelli swap deal for Mario Gomez
FIORENTINA chief Andrea Rogg admits the club are considering a number of offers for striker Mario Gomez.
Mario Balotelli - Spotlight On
Liverpool are reportedly keen to land the 30-year-old this summer in a straight swap deal with Mario Balotelli, who has failed to impress since joining a year ago for £16million.
While Turkish outfit Besiktas are also lining up a move for the German, with reports in Italy suggesting they're willing to pay £5.6m to secure his services.
And Rogg insists the Serie A club are currently evaluating the offers on the table.
We’re evaluating more than one offer for Gomez
In response to the interest coming from Liverpool and Besiktas, the Viola director general said: “He is a great champion and can continue to improve.
“We received more than one offer for Gomez and we’re evaluating them with the player. The Turkish option? Yes, that’s in there too.
“Mario has a certain price-tag that is tied to his career, so we must find the right balance. If not, it means we’ll have a champion in our squad who we will continue to work with.”
