Tiago Ilori faces a season spent with Liverpool’s Under-23s after the club made it clear they will not let him move on loan.
Signed on deadline day in September 2013 from Sporting Lisbon for £7million, Ilori has spent much of the past three years being shipped out to clubs around Europe, having played for Granada, Bordeaux and Aston Villa.
He is way down the pecking order at Liverpool and was told that it was in his best interests to find another club but despite interest from Granada and Valencia, both of whom want to take him on loan, there is no sign of him leaving Anfield.
