£7M LFC defender Ilori set for loan move to Spain

Liverpool's Tiago Ilori could move to Granada for the remainder of the season.

The 20 year old has been an active participant in the reds Under-21 side, but has failed to make a breakthrough in to the first team since his summer arrival from Sporting Lisbon.

He has been named on Liverpool's bench three times so far this term.

Several media outlets have this morning suggested that talks with the Spanish club are ongoing.

It's no secret that Rodgers would prefer the player to continue his development at a more senior level, but with the reds currently well stocked with centre-backs, a loan move to a top European league seems a good move for both player and club.

Tiago was born in London (his father is English) but he has represented Portugal at all youth levels.   Back in September, The Telegraph reported that the FA were interested in the player switching nationalities to be available for England.
