Liverpool defender Rafael Paez to move to Bologna on loan?

Liverpool's young Spanish defender Rafael Paez could complete a loan move to Serie B side Bologna, according to reports on the gianlucadimarzio website.

The 19-year-old joined Liverpool on a free transfer last September after being released by Real Madrid.

With deals for Javier Manquillo and Alberto Moreno nearing completion, Paez was set to find himself further down the pecking order at Anfield.

Paez is thought to have an admirer in Napoli manager Rafa Benitez, who has an excellent relationship with Bologna's sporting director Filippo Fusco.
