Rumour Mill: Rafa to raid Liverpool for £20m midfielder?

|

According to CaughtOffside.com, Rafa Benitez may try to bring Alberto Aquilani back to Italy after he is appointed Inter Milan coach. The former Liverpool boss is looking into the possibility of bringing some players with him from Anfield, according to the website, including Javier Mascherano and Dirk Kuyt. The site believes that any moves for big name players like Steven Gerrard and Fernando Torres would be rejected out of hand by the Liverpool board and so he is looking at the possibility of bringing others to the San Siro. Aquilani is seen as a potential purchase because of the Italian’s unsuccessful first season in England and Rafa could bring him back home to resurrect his fortunes. Before his big money move to Liverpool, Aquilani was seen as one of Italy’s hottest properties and Inter may be prepared to pay a good sum for the player. Any move would of couse be predicated by whether the new Liverpool manager sees the midfielder as part of his plans or whether he could be used to raise funds for new recruits.

    May the last line should read: “Any move would of couse be predicated by whether the new Liverpool manager would see any of the funds to use for new recruits.”

    When I read your headline I thought Benítez was after Lucas.

    Well, if this report is accurate, to which i am doubtful, but nevertheless if it is then Rafas true colours are starting to come through. I have never really been a real Rafa fan, but i have tried to show support, last season excluded, as last season i finally cracked and said enough is enough. Yes i wanted rafa to go, and if this true then has has lost what little respect i had left for him. I reiterate i still don’t fully beleive he would stoop to such a low, but then………

    Even if so, how much he’s gonna bid..

    lol who makes up these rumours??

    Why would anybody in their right mind believe that Aquilani would want to follow the manager that wrecked his chances of appearing at a world cup by keeping him on the bench behind Lucas for months???

  • Zen says:

    Hahaha.. Now it’s getting interesting how Pools fans look at Rafa.. those who worship him has been treated like idiots. He spends millions buying mediocre players (Torres exception), made a mess in his last season, pissed off and sell the best player (Alonso), blames the owner for all the shit he has done, and have the cheek to take 6M compensation to leave the job whom he declares (with his “never walk alone” bullshit) so that he can take over Inter..

    I don’t know why everyone is getting so het up. Its just the press playing there usual silly games, you would have thought after the season we’ve just had in the media that LFC fans would learn to ignore un-substansiated claims.

  • scouser66 says:

    its only the start players leaveing left rigth and centre at the end of the day the yanks need to pay the banks

  • Lee says:

    For 30million you have both Lucas and Aquilani and I’ll chuck in Kuyt

  • J says:

    Okay, so according to the press Inter are going to sign: Gerrard, Torres, Aquilani, Johnson, Agger, Kuyt and Mascherano.
    What rumour next, Riera to Inter?

  • DJ says:

    Does anyone seriously believe this crap?

  • philip says:
