Daniel Sturridge has told Liverpool he wants a move to Sevilla.

The Reds turned down a loan request from the Spanish club, insisting that they would only consider an offer for their England striker if it contained an option for a permanent deal at the end of any loan period.

With Inter inching closer to an offer which would guarantee a transfer fee at the end of an initial temporary deal, it was assumed Sturridge would be off to Milan.

Liverpool are adamant they want a transfer fee of around £25m for the forward, but are prepared to write in a loan period with a guarantee of a payment in the summer.

Sources within Anfield though, suggest the 28 year old has held talks with Liverpool’s top brass and made clear that he prefers Sevilla’s approach.

It is understood he has urged the Merseyside club to open talks with their Spanish counterparts in an attempt to find an agreement.

Boss Jurgen Klopp is ready to let the striker leave, on condition that any funds raised are used to bring in a permanent replacement in the summer.
