Report: Liverpool could pay record tribunal fee for Danny Ings

Burnley will demand a record tribunal fee for Danny Ings should they fail to agree compensation with Liverpool, according to reports.

The 22-year-old's Turf Moor contract expires in the summer, but because he is an under-23 player, the Clarets will be eligible for compensation if he departs for Anfield as a free agent.

According to the Sunday Times, Burnley want in excess of the £6.5m fee Chelsea paid Manchester City for Daniel Sturridge, the current record total paid in compensation for an out-of-contract player.

The Reds reportedly failed to sign Ings for £4m in the January transfer window.
