Liverpool look set to tie up a move for Blackpool midfielder Charlie Adam by offering the Seasiders two season-long loan deals to soften their loss.
Talks over a move for the Scottish international have stalled after the Reds refused to pay the whooping £12million price tag for the much sought after captain.
However, The Mirror reports that a compromise looks set to be reached after Liverpool director of football Damien Comolli suggested a player exchange plus £8m cash which would see the loan of teenage midfielder Jonjo Shelvey for a full season, along young right-back Stephen Darby.
Blackpool are reluctant to settle for anything less than the £12m valuation they have put on their player however realise that they could loose him for free if the player doesn’t sign a new contract with the Seasiders before his current deal expires at the end of next season.
Midfielder Shelvey impressed last year filling in for injured Steven Gerrard and was a £1.7million buy from Charlton last summer. Darby spent much of last season on loan at Swindon and Notts County.
