By Adrian Fisk
The player's agent Zoran Stojadinovic has revealed the Merseysiders have beaten a number of clubs including Valencia, Manchester City and Birmingham to seal a deal for the Serbian international who will join in the summer on a free transfer.
"We have spoken with Rafa Benitez and he convinced us about his project for the club,” said Stojadinovic.
"Milan speaks the language and adaptation will not be a problem for him when he moves to England."
The 28-year old is believed to have signed a £40,000-per-week contract and will be a welcome addition to Liverpool’s front line.
