Atletico Madrid and Zenit St Petersburg have emerged as the favourites to sign Liverpool flop Andrea Dossena in January, according to the Daily Mirror.

Dossena is almost certain to leave Anfield after a disastrous 18-month spell since his arrival from Udinese.

The Italian international left back has barely featured this season, and will depart Merseyside next month.

A host of Italian clubs have been sniffing around, including Napoli and Juventus, but Spanish strugglers Atleti and Russian outfit Zenit are now the new favourites.

Atletico sporting director Jesus Garcia Pitarch is reported to have already started negotiations, but Dossena may be swayed by the Italian influence at Zenit, as they are coached by Luciano Spalletti and include Alessandro Rosina amongst their ranks.
