Palermo president Maurizio Zamparini has stated publicly that his club are interested in signing Liverpool striker Milan Baros, in the summer. It had been speculated in the Italian press, that a move for Baros could be on the cards for Palermo. "We will monitor the situation," said Zamparini. "When a player of this quality becomes available, we will of course be interested.

"There has been no contact but should the situation remain the same, then we will contact Liverpool."

Baros, who struggled in Liverpool’s defeat to Newcastle at the weekend, has never entirely seemed comfortable in the premiership and it is rumoured would welcome a chance to move abroad to prove himself.

The player has extraordinary talent, but so often fails to deliver. It could be simply that Liverpool do not play a system that uses Baros’ strengths, or it could be he is simply not suited to English football, either way a number of Liverpool fans are starting to become impatient with the player, so a move away could be best for all concerned.
