Strikers Fabio Borini and Rickie Lambert are both expected to part company with Liverpool FC over the next fortnight.

Borini was told at the end of last season to find himself a new club and his agent has confirmed he’s held talks with Fiorentina.

Marco De Marchi has also told Anfield officials to expect a bid from West Ham but it has yet to arrive.

Italian Borini has scored three goals in 38 appearances for the Reds since his £10.5million move from Roma three years ago.

Liverpool accepted bids from Sunderland and QPR for him last summer but he snubbed their advances and stayed put. Now he’s accepted his future lies elsewhere.

“Yes, we have spoken to Fiorentina, but are evaluating everything carefully,” De Marchi told Radio Blu.

“Fabio will decide also based on Liverpool’s needs. We are looking for an important project in Italy or elsewhere, but for the moment he doesn’t have a preference.”

Lambert is resigned to leaving his boyhood club over the coming weeks following the arrival of strikers Christian Benteke, Danny Ings and Divock Origi.

The big frontman has attracted interest from West Brom and Norwich City but as it stands there are no plans for him to return home early from the club’s tour of the Far East and Australia. His future is likely to be resolved next week.

Mario Balotelli is also surplus to requirements at Anfield but shifting him is proving problematic due to his £100,000 per week salary.
