Liverpool Raise Concerns to FIFA Over Potential Tapping Up of Bobby Adekanye by SS Lazio

Liverpool have today expressed concern to FIFA over potential tapping up of former winger Bobby Adekanye by his new club Lazio.

The 20-year-old turned down a new contract offer from the Reds and made the move to Italy after becoming increasingly frustrated with his lack of first team opportunities on Merseyside, however, the Champions League winners have grown concerned that the move may have developed illegally.

Unlike senior professionals, players that are part of an Under-23 squad cannot begin transfer negotiations in the final six months of their contract, however, in an interview conducted by Voetbalzone.nl back in March, Adekanye seemed to suggest that this may have not been the case with himself.
