Swansea City are in talks over a deal to bring former Liverpool and AC Milan forward Fabio Borini back to the Liberty Stadium.

Borini, 29, is without a club after leaving Verona at the end of last season.

The one-cap Italy international helped Swansea win promotion to the Premier League during a loan spell in 2010-11.

Swansea do not have to complete a deal for Borini before Friday's transfer deadline because he is a free agent.

Borini was first brought to Swansea on loan from Chelsea by Brendan Rodgers.

He then played for Roma before joining Rodgers' Liverpool for £10.5m in 2012.

Borini then joined Sunderland on loan before an £8m permanent switch to the Stadium of Light, before a loan move to AC Milan led to a £5m permanent transfer.

Mike Marsh, who is Swansea head coach Steve Cooper's assistant, worked with Borini when he was on the coaching staff at Liverpool.
