Previous reports have suggested that the European champions want upwards of \u20ac130m (\u00a3111m), which is not a fee Andoni Iraola\u2019s side would be willing to pay.<\/p>\n If Zabarnyi is being offered out to teams, though, it is more than likely that a deal for the Ukrainian would be much easier to complete. We shall have to wait and see whether this transfer story has any legs.<\/p>\n Want more news on Liverpool?
