Liverpool bypass Bobby Duncan's agent Saif Rubie as Fiorentina transfer deal approaches



Bobby Duncan's agent Saif Rubie has not been directly involved in the transfer which will see the youngster join Fiorentina from Liverpool.

The Reds have agreed a €2million deal with the Serie A side for Duncan following an extraordinary outburst from Rubie last week.

Duncan's representative made a string of allegations against Liverpool and sporting director Michael Edwards, including one claim the 18-year-old was being held at the club against his will.

The statement, which was briefly endorsed by Duncan on social media, came just days after Liverpool rejected an offer from Fiorentina to take the player on a season-long loan with an option of a £1.5m deal.

Liverpool, though, have wasted no time in moving the player on following last week's controversy, with the Reds having also negotiated a 20% sell-on clause as part of the imminent transfer.

And it is believed the club did not deal directly with Rubie during negotiations.

Instead, it is understood Rob Segal, Duncan's registered agent for the transfer that was completed from Manchester City to Liverpool last season, helped broker the deal.

Duncan was in Italy on Monday afternoon undergoing a medical before completing his transfer, where he was accompanied by Rubie.

Liverpool winger Ryan Kent is on the verge of completing a permanent move to Rangers.

The Reds are close to agreeing a deal worth around £7million for the 22-year-old, who spent last season on loan at the Scottish Premier League side.

Liverpool will insist there is a sell-on clause for Kent included before the transfer is finalised ahead of the SPL deadline at midnight.

Rangers boss Steven Gerrard, the former Liverpool captain, has been keen to bring back Kent after the player's impressive spell at Ibrox but was put off by the Reds' initial £12m price tag.

Now the lowering of the asking price has allowed a deal to be neared.

The winger made 43 appearances while scoring six goals and contributing nine assists as Rangers finished second and reached the group stages of the Europa League.

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp revealed over the summer that the club had no appetite to allow Kent out on loan again after temporary stays at Barnsley, Coventry City, Bristol City and German side Freiburg earlier in his career.

Now it appears Kent, who figured for the Reds during pre-season and was linked with Club Brugge this week, will again head north of the Border.

The youngster has made just one Liverpool appearance, playing the first 57 minutes of the FA Cup third round draw at Exeter City back in January 2016.
