The Daily Mail is reporting that Liverpool full back Emiliano Insua is close to sealing a £3.7million move to Italian club Fiorentina. According to the paper, the two clubs were close to a deal last month but the Reds asked Fiorentina to wait until a new manager was in place. After Roy Hodgson was appointed, the transfer was set in motion once again, and it now looks likely that the 21 year old will be leaving Anfield. With the departures of both Andrea Dossena and Fabio Aurelio, Insua is the only recognised left back at the club, but after not impressing during his first season of first team action, he is set to move on. Hodgson is rumoured to have his sights set on Wigan full back Maynor Figueroa who could cost £6million.

Wow, your source, the Daily Mail, is one of the most unreliable sources in existence. The boy who walks the dog of the neighbour of Liverpool’s tea-lady’s second cousin is more reliable. Why would L.F.C. sell their only (!) left-back? Having joined in January 2007 Insua may even fit the “trained three years within the FA before turned 21” quota.

He does anteater and you’re right the mail hates us and has linked everyone out of the club and is now trying to say Roy will replace them with English players! Xenophobia in the mail, gosh I’m shocked NOT!
I think I’ve figured out the english press, one day mascherano, the next Gerrard, then Torres….and over and over again.
Really shocking to see for an cost of 6million pounds for BENNY is really not enough and 4million for insua is also not enough……………………
I think LIVERPOOL is bending up too much for selling their players…….
You’re right, he does qualify as a homegrown player and seeing as Liverpool are short in this area he won’t be leaving. Also, we have released Aurelio and Dossena recently leaving just 1 LB on the books.
Let him stay,he will ge good in future
