Out of favour Chelsea of England midfielder, Victor Moses, is on the verge a loan switch to former European Champions, Liverpool.
The 22-year-old Nigerian international it is understood has been told that he can now depart Stamford Bridge on a short term deal.
Chelsea have landed Brazilian attacking midfielder, Willian, in a £30 million deal from Anzhi Makhachkala, which will see the former Wigan attacker fall further down the pecking order in Jose Mourinho’s new side.
Rodgers is now prepared to offer the winger a chance of regular football at Anfield by taking him on-loan although the Blues are thought to want a £2 million fee for his services to help fund his £55,000-a-week wages.
Moses could face a struggle to get any playing time for Mourinho’s side with Willian, Eden Hazard, Andre Schurrle and Kevin De Bruyne in front of him at Stamford Bridge.
The Liverpool boss is now confident that his strong working relationship with the former Real Madrid boss, who he worked with at Stamford Bridge, will benefit him in his pursuit of the talented winger as the Blues look to cut back their wage bill to satisfy UEFA’s Financial Fair Play regulations.
Moses only made the switch to Chelsea last summer for a reported fee of around £9 million from the Latics and he made 43 appearances during his debut campaign with the Blues but given the heightened competition for places, he may feel the need for a period away to gain regular playing time this season.
