Thomas Ince's return from Blackpool to Liverpool hits deadlock as clubs fail to agree over price

Liverpool are ready to walk away from a deal for Blackpool’s Thomas Ince as they have no intention of increasing their bid for the midfielder.

Blackpool have told the Merseyside club they must increase their offer for the 20 year-old, but it is now more likely Brendan Rodgers will wait until the summer before renewing interest.

The offer, lodged several weeks ago, amounted to £6 million. However, Liverpool are entitled to 35 per cent of any sale under the terms under which Ince was sold to the Championship club. That means Liverpool would be prepared to pay £4 million.

The player himself would be entitled to 10 per cent of his valuation – equating to £600,000 – which means Blackpool would receive £3.4 million from the deal. They are determined to get the full £6 million and have stated publicly on several occasions Liverpool must increase their bid to reflect such a value.

Liverpool are refusing to do that, and both Rodgers and managing director Ian Ayre have made no effort to reignite negotiations since their approach was rebuffed.

Blackpool paid just £500,000 for the youngster when he left Anfield in 2011 and Rodgers believes the 18 months he has spent in the Championship have developed his game more than had he stayed at Liverpool as a reserve over the same period.

He remains keen to bring the player to Merseyside, and Ince wants to return, but not at the figures Blackpool are quoting.

Rodgers showed last summer when he determines a player’s value, he sticks to it. He walked away from a deal for Gylfi Sigurdsson, a player he had signed for Swansea and thought would agree to follow him to Liverpool, when the figures rose beyond what Rodgers felt was feasible.

He and Ayre will apply the same principles to Blackpool. With negotiations so fraught and the position of both clubs entrenched, it is increasingly unlikely the impasse will be resolved during the course of this month.

Meanwhile, the Football Association has confirmed that it will appeal against the suspensions handed to Ince and Steven Caulker in the England Under-21s’ European Championship play-off against Serbia.

Sturridge it is then and possibly a loan signing.

Macca has said it's on. He's pretty reliable isn't he?

This will get drawn out until the last minute.

Oyston is a good negotiator but if he doesn't sell him in Jan, the kid could walk away for zip in the summer. Blackpool aren't a club that can say no to 4m GBP imo.

Can they say no to £3.4m though?

That's how I see it too. The manager even said yesterday that the drawn out saga was affecting Inces form. Sounded to me like he was tired of it dragging on.
