Diakite: 'Liverpool first choice'
“Liverpool are our first choice,” said the agent of Lazio defender Modibo Diakite, although only on a free transfer in June.
The 25-year-old centre-back has only made one Coppa Italia appearance this season due to a contract dispute, as he has refused to sign an extension and turned down several transfer opportunities.
“Liverpool are our first choice for June,” declared agent Ulisse Savini.
“It would be very difficult to say no to a club like that.”
Diakite has also been linked with Juventus in recent weeks and will be a free agent at the end of the season.
