Valencia eye loan move for Liverpool's Tiago Llori

Valencia are reportedly set to make an offer to sign Liverpool defender Tiago Ilori on loan when the transfer window opens up in January.

The talented centre-back has failed to find a place in the first team at the Merseyside club , as the likes of Kolo Toure, Mamadou Sakho and Daniel Agger have been chosen by manager Brendan Rodgers ahead of him for the central defensive partnership so far this campaign.

Valencia are hoping to bring the defender in as a temporary replacement for Adil Rami, who is set to make a switch to Serie A giants AC Milan during the January transfer window.

Ilori joined Liverpool from Primeira Liga outfit Sporting Lisbon during the summer transfer window.
