Palermo linked with Lucas

Palermo have been linked with Lucas Levia. The Italian club had been rumoured to be preparing a £5m bid for the Liverpool midfielder. Their Sporting Director, Walter Sabatini, has confirmed their interest in Lucas, but denies being prepared to offer the Reds that amount of money. "We made a first offer to Liverpool for Lucas Pezzini (Leiva)," said Sabatini. "But I deny that we have offered six million euros. That is too much."
