Liverpool have been handed a potential transfer boost, after the agent of former target Caner Erkin told Turkish website Sporx that the full-back could leave Inter Milan this summer, despite only having joined in June.

The Reds had reportedly lined up a move for the left-back when he was at Fenerbahce, only to seemingly lose out to Inter when the Serie A giants sealing a deal in June.

However, TalkSport has claimed Liverpool may well be tempted to rekindle their interest after Erkin’s agent Batur Altiparmark told Sporx his client could be about to move clubs for the second time this summer, adding there has already been interest from the Premier League.

He told the website: “Caner could stay at Inter or he could go.

“We currently have three options: he could stay at Inter and fight for his place. The second option is to stay in Italy or go to another European country. The third is going back to a Turkish team. Everything will be decided in 48 hours.

“We haven’t met with any team in Turkey. We have three offers from Spain and England though, they came to us and to the club.”

A left-back is understood to be near the top of Jurgen Klopp’s priorities for summer recruitment, having been forced to play winger James Milner there in the 2-0 defeat to Burnley last weekend.

Given they have harboured an interest in the 27-year-old before, they may well be tempted to make another approach before the close of the transfer window.
