But the Mirror reports Sturridge, 28, has pleaded with the Reds’ top brass to let him join Sevilla instead.

Liverpool value the England striker at £25million but will happily loan him out with the guarantee of a permanent transfer at the end of the spell.

“It was not a talk with him saying ‘when can I go?’ or ‘where can I go?’. Not that talk, but about what we planned for this season.”

Sturridge has scored three goals having started just five Premier League matches this season.

Game time will be playing on his mind with this summer’s World Cup around the corner.
