Liverpool handed boost in Miralem Pjanic pursuit?

Long-term Liverpool target Miralem Pjanic has moved a step closer to the Premier League after reportedly indicating that he is ready to leave Roma.

The 24-year-old has been linked with a move to Brendan Rodgers's side for much of this season, with Roma rumoured to be willing to accept £37m for the midfielder.

However, the Reds have now been handed a huge boost in their bid to sign Pjanic after he signalled his intention to leave Italy, reports talkSPORT citing an Italian newspaper.

Pjanic joined Roma from Lyon in 2011, and has made well over 100 appearances for the Giallorossi.
