# Liverpool to lose Reds star for cut price £2m in January?

[![Johnso.jpg](https://cdn.footballtransfertavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/G-Johnson-500x318.jpg)](https://cdn.footballtransfertavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Utilize-Glen-Johnson.jpeg)The Liverpool fans in the Football Transfer Tavern were left disappointed at the weekend after they suffered a shock defeat to Aston Villa at Anfield.

They were without right back Glen Johnson for that game and according to reports in the [Daily Star](https://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/399801/Roma-preparing-2m-January-bid-for-Liverpool-ace-Glen-Johnson), the Merseyside club may have to get used to life without the defender.

That is because reports are suggesting that Italian giants Roma are keen on making a move for the former West Ham United and Chelsea defender.

Johnson is out of contract with the Merseyside club next summer and the 30-year old is yet to sign an extension at Anfield.

Liverpool will lose the England international for nothing next summer if a deal cannot be agreed.

Tis means that the Serie A outfit could make a £2 million offer for the defender as they look for a January bargain.

One stumbling block could be the players’ whopping £100,000 plus wages he currently receives at Liverpool.

QPR boss Harry Redknapp has also been linked with a move for the youngster whom he has worked with before but wages will also be an issue if he fancies a move to West London.

### **Liverpool fans. Johnson is not getting any younger; is it time to get the defender’s wages off the weekly bill? Let us know your thoughts below.**
