Oyston confirms talks with Reds
lackpool chairman Karl Oyston has confirmed that 'preliminary discussions' have taken place with Liverpool over the sale of Charlie Adam.[LNB] The Scotland international is widely expected to leave Bloomfield Road this summer after the Seasiders' relegation from the Premier League, having excelled in the top flight last season and requested a transfer in January.[LNB]A number of clubs tried to sign Adam during the winter and Liverpool are now thought to have resumed their pursuit of the 25-year-old, with talks expected to take place later this week.[LNB]Oyston admits there has been contact regarding a possible move but has made it clear that no offers have yet been received.[LNB]He told the Blackpool Gazette: "We've had a few discussions this summer but nothing conclusive so really there is nothing to report.[LNB]"Are the reports wide of the mark? I'm sure that football clubs have talks with lots of players all summer that they probably shouldn't do. [LNB]"I'm sure that goes on. If January is anything to go by that is certainly the case.[LNB]"It is always difficult (when speculation starts)."[LNB]Asked to confirm Liverpool had made contact, he replied: "We've had a few very preliminary discussions and enquiries but nothing of any substance so there really is nothing to report at this stage about interest from anyone."
