Reds defender keen to make the switch back to Italy

The Italian international fullback that Liverpool bought from Udinese last summer maybe heading back to Serie A soon. Andrea Dossena failed to live up to his expectation in English league are pondering a move to Juventus but Rafa Benitez hopes he’ll stay for another season according to Dossena’s agent, Roberto La Florio.

  "We have spoken with Liverpool and with Benitez and we received confirmation that the club are keen on holding onto Dossena,"

"However, we all know what the market is like and when a certain offer comes along then negotiations open up.

"So far, neither we nor Liverpool have been presented with an offer but we did have contact with Juve last year.

"Dossena is fine in England. He would be happy to return, but under certain conditions. Juve are making their own evaluations and they will contact us if they are interested. We will wait." - Roberto La Florio, Sportal.

Rumours from the Italian press has suggested that David Trezeguet are willing to take a pay cut to join AS Roma. And what tickles me most are that Trezeguet being linked with a move to Anfield in a possible deal for Dossena.

Well, David has past his prime, 32-years old soon and does Rafa willing to gamble on him? Remember Fernando Morientes? Rafa may have keen to sign him on loan from Juve during 2006 campaign but what do you think about ‘Trezegol’ donning the red for us?

Javier Mascherano going nowhere

Liverpool FC and Rafael Benitez has moved in to dismissed the speculation surrounding Javier Mascherano moving away this summer.

"Mascherano has no price,"

"Barcelona could not afford to match his value to Liverpool Football Club.
"We do not want to sell and Javier is very happy here.

"I have spoken to Javier two or three times this summer – the last time was only last week – and he was very happy, very positive.

"He gave me the private number of his agent, Walter Tamer, and again the conversation was very positive and was all about football.

"Walter told me that two clubs with big, big names were asking after Mascherano – and I told him to forget it, that Javier was happy in Liverpool and he was not for sale.

"So I was surprised to see the agent's comments today.

"He has a long contract and any club can forget about bidding for him. They can offer £40m or even £50m, we don’t want to sell." – Rafa Benitez, Liverpoolfc.tv.

While, Rafa will definitely keeping Mascherano at Anfield but the future of a Spaniard are still hanging in the balance. After Manchester United agreed to sell their prized asset to Real Madrid last Thursday, Alonso will be featured in Florentino Perez’s wish-list of building another era of Galactico.

I expect Liverpool wouldn’t accept nothing less than £30million for Alonso’s fee.

Should Liverpool let Alonso go to Real Madrid? Have your say here.

Agent comment lands Liverpool midfielder in trouble

A comment made from Walter Tamer on Catalan radio station RAC-1 has angered Liverpool’s manager, Rafa Benitez as he contempt to keep his squad together for next season.

"If a club like Barcelona want to bring you into their ranks after having completed such a brilliant season and having won everything, obviously as a player you are going to say 'Yes, I want to play there'.

"It is an honour for Javier that a club like Barca pay such close attention to him, especially after the incredible season they had. I believe that a transfer would be feasible. If Barca really want him, he will sign for them.

"He would have a very easy job at Barca. Sometimes we talk and joke that the only thing he has to do is run, rob the ball, and pass it on to all the superstars in front of him."

"What if Xabi Alonso also leaves? Surely, Rafa Benitez would not want to have both his central midfielders go. It will be difficult, although Xabi's future does not depend on Mascherano and vice-versa,"

"The transaction would certainly happen, but the first to leave will have more options." – Mascherano’s agent, RAC-1.

Aren’t we fed-up with these kind of rumours? First, Xabi Alonso linked with a move to Real Madrid and now Javier Mascherano to Barcelona.

Liverpool to sell Alonso to the highest bidder

We have heard so many times Rafa has stressed in his interviews about his ‘very’ intension of keeping the Liverpool ‘spine’ intact. But the interest from Real Madrid and the money-spender Manchester City on Xabi Alonso just don’t take the heed.

Well, the press these days are very difficult to trust. I mean, how bad are the relationship between Rafa and Xabi at this point? We all know that Rafa made a mistake and want to forced Xabi out of Anfield last summer but that didn't happened.

Will Rafa going make the very same mistake twice? The papers saying Liverpool has slapped a £30million price tag on Alonso and whoever pay more than the asking price gets Xabi. It is interesting to see Real will pay over the odds and prise Alonso from us. With £30million, there could be only one thing on Rafa’s mind, swooping for David Silva from Valencia.

I rather have them both at Anfield rather than seeing one of them make way for the other. On the other hand, City just after snaring Barry under our nose will try they luck in luring Alonso to the Eastlands.

I do hope Liverpool, Rafa and Alonso settle their differences once and for all. These are the story made-up to unsettle the true contender for the league title. I will have faith in Xabi that he’ll stay with us next season.
