Liverpool midfielder Adam Lallana is being targeted by clubs in Major League Soccer and the Chinese Super League for a transfer as early as January.
Lallana, 31, is out of contract next summer and while he is set to be offered an extension by the European champions he could be tempted by the prospect of a more long-term deal by clubs in the U.S. or China.Additionally, the top leagues in both of those countries have their seasons run from spring to winter, so a January move out of Europe would allow the England international a full preseason at a prospective new club.
Lallana has endured a difficult few years with injury problems, but he has featured in Liverpool’s last three games. He came off the bench to score the equaliser at Manchester United on Oct. 20 before playing the full 90 minutes in Wednesday’s Carabao Cup win over Arsenal and starting his first Premier League match since March at Aston Villa on Saturday.
The former Swansea and Everton man signed a short-term contract with the Robins in the summer and has impressed thus far at Ashton Gate. Now 35, the Wales captain has been a fixture for Bristol City this season and has made a strong contribution both on the pitch and as a mentor.
