FABIO BORINI’S agent wants January talks with Liverpool over the Italian striker’s lack of playing time at Sunderland.

Wear-Tyne derby hero Borini joined the Black Cats on a season-long loan during the summer to boost his chances of regular first-team football after falling down the pecking order at Anfield.

But the 22-year-old has started just two Premier League games for Sunderland - once under Paolo Di Canio and once under Gus Poyet - both of which saw him withdrawn before the hour mark.

Amidst talk of interest from Inter Milan, Borini’s agent Marco De Marchi is concerned about the situation, particularly as the £10million frontman still harbours hopes of securing a place in the Italy squad for next summer’s World Cup.

“He dreams of Brazil in 2014 and needs games,” said De Marchi.

“He’s only had a chance at Sunderland after the arrival of Gus Poyet, but it is still insufficient. I would like a meeting with Liverpool in January.

“I can only say that if the situation of Fabio does not change in the next month, we may consider a return to Italy in order to improve his chances of being called up for the World Cup.”

Sunderland are understood to have reached a financial agreement with Liverpool over Borini’s wages when he moved to the Stadium of Light on transfer deadline day.

Even if Liverpool wanted to recall Borini and send him on loan elsewhere, they would need to pay the Black Cats compensation for the fee Sunderland fronted up to take the former Roma man for the season.

Ya gotta love footballers and their agents. Borini was sent on loan for a reason & he is not getting his game for the worst side in the league for a reason..... because he's not very good.

I'm not really keen to judge young lads who haven't played a lot, but I can't see Borini cutting it over here at all really.

Hopefully we'll get £7-8m for him in the summer and he can move on. Probably best for all parties.

borini isnt a modern day striker at all.

he's a poacher in the mould of defoe etc... there's no way he could play up front by himself which is what the modern forward is required to do.

Be delighted to get 7 or 8 million for him.. hopefully stock is still high in Italy.

He's not much of a poacher either his finishing here was diabolical. He's a good runner though tbf lots of energy just a shame he's **** with a ball at his feet.

£5m in July?

that would be about half we paid for him so it is very important for us and him to find any decent club and play more.

If that doesn't happen I cannot see us getting much more than £5m if we do decide to sell him.

Fabio Borini cannot move to another team in January as he has already played for 2 teams. (@dimarzio)

MrBoywunder @MrBoywunder 32s
Borini has already played for Liverpool U21 against United, which counts as an official match. (@dimarzio)

Surely that's not true? So it counts as an official match for UEFA but not the FA?
