Liverpool Eye Cavenaghi
Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez is reportedly set to test Bordeaux’s resolve with a £13 million bid for Fernando Cavenaghi, though the French club remain committed to retaining the striker’s services.
The Argentina international
has been a huge hit at the club since his move in January 2007 following a
disappointing spell in Russia
with Spartak Moscow, netting 22 goals in 35 matches last term and, famously, 10
times in 9 games during a purple patch.
And while Reds manager Benitez has a number of options at his disposal in the striking department, the former Valencia boss is reportedly keen to offload Dirk Kuyt to make way for a more prolific goalscorer to ease the pressure on Fernando Torres.
How much money Benitez has at his disposal when the transfer window re-opens on 1st January remains to be seen, though Cavenaghi’s price could rocket should other clubs become embroiled in a tug-of-war.
The 25-year old is thought to be keen on a move to England, joining compatriots such as Carlos Tevez and Liverpool’s Javier Mascherano in the Premier League.
