Ten potential swap deals that could be on the cards this summer.10) Adam Lallana/Fabio Borini (Southampton and Liverpool)
With Southampton said to be asking for as much as £30m for in-form England international midfielder Adam Lallana, the latest reports suggest that Liverpool will look to lower that asking price by offering the Saints young Italian forward Fabio Borini as part of the deal.
Lallana is no doubt a top talent, earning deserved plaudits for his fine performances in the Premier League in 2013/14, but £30m does seem like an over-estimation of his value at the moment, and a swap deal involving Borini may be more sensible from Liverpool’s point of view, whilst also benefiting Southampton with the addition of a promising attacking player, who impressed on loan at Sunderland in 2013/14.
