Liverpool 'open Mattia Perin discussions with Genoa'

Genoa goalkeeper Mattia Perin is being lined up as a replacement for Liverpool's Simon Mignolet, according to the Italian international's agent.

Liverpool are in talks with Genoa regarding a possible move for keeper Mattia Perin, according to player's agent.

The Reds have been linked with an array of stoppers since the start of the season, following a poor run of form for Simon Mignolet.

Perin's representative Moreno Roggi has confirmed that there have been discussions with the Anfield club.

Roggi told RAI Sport: "There has been contact with Liverpool. For Perin I can only imagine a future abroad. I would like him to remain in Italy, but only clubs from abroad can afford him. England? It's a possibility."

Perin, who made his Italy debut last month, is thought to be one of a number of options being assessed by Liverpool, with the Daily Star claiming that Petr Cech, Neto, Asmir Begovic and Timo Horn are all on their radar.
