Confirmation of Lauri Dalla Valle's signing, with a better source.
Lauri Dalla Valle, 15, is a midfield player from Finnish side JIPPO (Joensuu). He spent last season in Inter Milan, until he wanted to terminate the contract with the Italian club. "Lauri can consider the offer as long as he wants. He can make the decision tomorrow or in next summer. Now important is training and school." said Lauri's father, Loreno Dalla Valle.
Liverpool have said that for talented playmaker one year at the academy would be enough, wich after he could move to Melwood to train with first- and reserve squads. Lauri's original plan was to move to abroad in next summer, after he have finished his school. Both Lauri and his father was exceptionaly received at Liverpool. "It was like red carpet would've layed for us. Nothing cost us at all. We met all the directors and managers at the club, including Rafael Bentiez. Lauri was better treated here than in Italy" his father told Veikkaaja.
