Agent: Gaston Ramirez departure is "very likely"

The agent of Liverpool target Gaston Ramirez has suggested that the player has played his final game for Bologna.

The 21-year-old Uruguayan midfielder has been in superb form for the Serie A club this season, contributing eight goals during 33 league appearances.

Ramirez's performances have attracted reported interest from Liverpool and agent Vincenzo D'Ippolito now admits that a summer departure is likely.

"Ramirez is a player who has had an important season and can now look to end this on a high at the London Olympics", D'Ippolito told Radio Calcio Mercato.

"We will begin to speak with his club after June 1. It is very likely that this was his last year at Bologna, we have some offers."

Bologna vice-president Maurizio Setti is expected to demand a £16m transfer fee for the player.
