Lille slap price tag on Rami

OSC Lille have slapped a €15m price-tag on their defensive stalwart Adil Rami, who is in Liverpool's sights.

Lille have made a solid start to the Ligue 1 season and Rami has started in all 15 matches to date and made a major contribution.

Liverpool are known to have expressed interest in the Moroccan-born defender, who has been capped six times for France since the start of the year and is establishing himself as a permanent fixture under national team boss Laurent Blanc.

Rami has accumulated experience playing for his club on the European stage and his new status as a French international has upped interest in him.

Liverpool boss Roy Hodgson was impressed with what he saw of the towering defender when Rami played for France against England at Wembley, and is said to be keeping tabs on the potential recruit.

The 1.90m-tall centre-back is held in high regard by Lille, who would certainly prefer to keep him.
