Loic Remy’s transfer to Liverpool collapses

The proposed £8M move of QPR striker Loic Remy to Liverpool may have collapsed after Liverpool came out unsatisfied with the player’s medical result.

Remy has been with Liverpool in Boston, on their pre-season tour, with the expectation that the transfer would be completed after the remaining minor paper work.

Personal terms had been agreed on but the move may be halted due to the Merseyside’s worries as regards the Frenchman’s physical condition. Remy is reportedly devastated over the outcome.

This is a second setback for Coach Brendan Rodgers in the space of 48 hours after he lost Adam Lallana, his £23.6million signing from Southampton, for six weeks after he damaged his lateral collateral knee ligaments in training.

 

Having sold Luis Suarez to Barcelona, Liverpool must now look elsewhere for another striker to support Daniel Sturridge and Rickie Lambert are the only senior strikers.
