Liverpool are lining up an audacious move
for Milton Keynes Dons attacking midfielder
Bamidele Alli in the January transfer
window.
According to The People, the Reds are
confident they will get their man in the
winter transfer window - but they will then
loan him straight back to his current
employers.
The 18-year-old midfielder has been
pursued for a year by the Reds, who will
make an initial payment of £4.5million to
nab him.
Dubbed as the new Steven Gerrard, Alli has
played for England Under-19s and has been
scouted by Liverpool and Bayern Munich in
the last eight months.
The five-time UEFA Champions League
winners will purchase Alli’s economic rights
from MK Dons when the market reopens.
However, his sporting rights will remain
with the League One club until the end of
the 2014-2015 campaign.
Alli has netted seven goals in 14
appearances for MKD, including a hat-trick
against Crewe Alexandra on September
20th, 2014.
