Talented Liverpool playmaker Adam Lallana is most likely to leave for any club in Turkey or depart for Rangers, say the bookmakers.
Lallana has really struggled for games over the past few years as he’s been struck down by injury after injury. And now the money men are suggesting that his time at Anfield is drawing to a close.
The former Southampton man has already been linked with a loan move to Fenerbahce, wrote the Express. Contradictory information has come from Sky Sports, though, who reckon Jurgen Klopp doesn’t want Lallana to leave.
But this deal would make more sense than the one involving Nathaniel Clyne being sent to Bournemouth for the rest of the season.

Despite making just one league appearance, Clyne was the only specialist cover for Trent Alexander-Arnold – who promptly suffered a knee injury and is due to be out for a month.
Liverpool are currently flying high without the attacking talents of Lallana. When Klopp arrived at the club, he loved the England international’s creativity and work rate.
But since his persistent injuries, the gaffer has found a way to win without him. Roberto Firmino often plays as a false nine, which allows his to drop deeper and fulfil the role that Lallana used to.
Steven Gerrard’s Rangers are joint favourites to take Lallana in the January transfer window as Gerrard continues to make the most of his contacts on Merseyside.
The Gers are joint 4/1 favourites with any Turkish side to complete a deal for the silky playmaker before the end of January.
Gerrard has already got two former Reds on his books, while Ovie Ejaria spent the first half of the season at Ibrox and Ryan Kent continues to flourish on the wing. Gerrard is chasing the SPL title and is hot on the heels of former Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers’ Celtic.
Lallana would definitely be able to help the Blues with their title aims – but we’ll have to wait and see what comes out of these favourable odds.
