Was a game of Brinksmanship which Liverpool lost!Why would Liverpool keep him when they could loan him out, save wages and potentially set up a summer transfer? The only reason they would keep him is because they need him for games which would be what he wanted in the first place.
As for the point about Italy and wages - there's no suggestion at all that Borini would want £90k a week to move to Italy. He demanded that because he wasn't overly keen on going to QPR.
