Liverpool on brink of losing out on defender: Inter Milan to hold talks
INTER MILAN will discuss a transfer in the next few days with Liverpool and Everton transfer target Caner Erkin, according to his agent.
Erkin has been repeatedly linked with a move to Anfield but Inter Milan are favourites
Erkin's contract with Fenerbahce expires at the end of the season and neither club nor player appears to be interested in a renewal.
In fact, the left-back has only appeared 13 times in the Super Lig this season and the Turkish giants look set to finish second for the fourth time in five years.
And while a number of clubs are interested in Erkin, it appears that Inter Milan have taken a firm lead in the race for his signature.
One area requiring improvement is left-back where Klopp is said to want to bring in competition for Alberto Moreno.
However, Everton are also reportedly interested in adding Erkin to their squad if the new investment of Farhad Moshiri in the club leads to a summer spending spree.
