Dudek desperate to leave Liverpool
Goalkeeper Jerzy Dudek wants to leave Liverpool 'at whatever cost',
insists he will not play another game for the club and has accused
manager Rafael Benitez of talking 'rubbish'.
The 32-year-old was a hero for the Anfield club in last season's
Champions League final against AC Milan, playing a key role in the
penalty shoot-out as Liverpool lifted the trophy for the fifth
time.
But he has since fallen behind both Jose Reina and Scott Carson in
the Anfield pecking order, and wants first team football to protect
his place in the Poland team for this summer's World Cup finals in
Germany.
'My time at Liverpool has reached its end. Nothing can change
that,' Dudek told The Sun.
The Pole believes Liverpool want £3million for him, but said: 'If
someone buys me for £3million, Liverpool will have pulled off the
transfer deal of the year. I am 33 in March. I have no idea how
they came to such an absurd figure.
'It's the latest lot of rubbish from Benitez. Even if he wants to
play me in a Liverpool match, I don't want to play for this club
any more.
'I can't see any point talking further with Benitez. It's a waste
of time. I have decided to leave Liverpool at whatever cost and I
won't change my mind. Benitez just makes the frustration
deeper.
'I didn't go to play against Luton in the FA Cup last Saturday
especially to make it clear to Benitez I am not interested in being
the club's second-choice keeper.
'Why doesn't he behave like a decent person for once in his life
and start treating me in a proper way, like I always have him?'
