The agent for Fiorentina winger Juan Manuel Vargas says Liverpool are interested in his services and that he could leave the Serie A club over the summer.

The 28-year-old Vargas, a Peru international, has one season left to run on his current contract. He was reportedly a targeted by Arsenal a year ago.

If the photo to the right is any indication, Vargas' teammates might want him to stick around a little while longer.

"There is the possibility that he (Vargas) will leave Fiorentina," his agent Jorge Cyterszpiler said. "But at this time it's just a rumour and there is nothing official.

"He didn't have the best of seasons and he needs to make up for it next season.

"Liverpool is an option, but there is also Malaga that has the fascination of playing in next season's Champions League.

"Does he have a preference with regards to playing the Premier League or the Primera Liga? Vargas likes both leagues as well as the Serie A."

"Have there been offers from in Italy? In the past, we spoke with Inter Milan and they were interested in him."

Vargas joined Fiorentina from Catania in 2008 for 12 million euros (£9.6m) and he made 24 league appearances for the Viola last season.
