Liverpool close on Nuri Sahin and Cristian Tello double swoop
Posted Wednesday, August 15, 2012 by Metro.co.uk
Spain's Cristian Tello
The 21-year-old, who also has interest from Atletico Madrid, is expected to meet with Barcelona boss Tito Vilanova this week to discuss his future, but Liverpool have flown out their lead director Ayre to push through a deal.
Whilst in Spain, Ayre is also expected to meet with Real Madrid's Sahin, who was subject of a loan offer from Liverpool yesterday.
Sahin has already set his heart on a move to Arsenal, in a deal that is already in the works, but
Liverpool believe they can hijack it with Jose Mourinho urging the 23-year-old to head to Anfield instead.
Ayre will need to use all of his negotiating skills to tempt Sahin, who wants to play for a club in the Champions League, and has already discounted Tottenham.
