Emiliano Insua is to hold talks with Fiorentina after
Liverpool agreed a fee to sell the defender to the Italian
club.
Fiorentina
have been heavily linked with a move for
the left-back in recent weeks and an offer, reported to be in the
region of £5million, has now been accepted.
Liverpool have confirmed that the Argentine has left
the club's pre-season training camp to discuss a switch to Serie
A.
A club spokesman said: "We have agreed a fee for the sale of
Emiliano Insua to Fiorentina and given them permission to
speak with the player.
"Emiliano has now left our Swiss training camp and we'll make
further comment when appropriate."
Insua made 31 appearances in the Premier League for the Reds
last season and has featured a total of 62 times since his arrival
from Boca
Juniors in 2007.
New Liverpool boss Roy
Hodgson is now likely to be in the market for a
left-back after Fabio
Aurelio left Anfield at the end of last season.
Meanwhile, Liverpool's opening pre-season friendly against
Al-Hilal in Austria has been called off due to a waterlogged
pitch.
Several pitch inspections were conducted before the match was
postponed, meaning Hodgson will have to wait until Wednesday's
fixture with Grasshoppers for his first match as Liverpool
manager.
