Liverpool are said to be willing to listen to offers for their midfielder Lucas Leiva.

The Brazilian was left out of Liverpool's squad for their 1-0 victory over Stoke on Sunday, causing rumours to circulate about his long-term future at the club.

According to reports Lucas was upset by the opening game snub and is now considering options available to him, with a return to Italy mooted.

Liverpool are thought to value the 28-year old, who has two years remaining on his current contract, at around £8m.

It is understood that Inter Milan were keen to sign Lucas back in January, but with the midfielder having just re-established himself in Brendan Rodgers' side, he was not keen to leave.

However with Liverpool reportedly prepared to listen to offers for Lucas, and the Brazilian unhappy at not being in Rodgers' plans, it remains to be seen whether he will still be at the club when the transfer window shuts.
