Liverpool boss
Rafa Benitez is ready to push
for a deal for Valencia wing ace
David Silva.
The Independent says Benitez is ready to intensify his
interest in Silva, his negotiating position enhanced by the Spanish
club's diminishing prospects of selling their other prime asset,
David Villa.
The 23-year-old Silva can play wide, as a withdrawn striker or
as an attacking midfielder and is not a straight replacement for
Xabi Alonso. Valencia have been
on the brink of bankruptcy all summer and will accept nothing less
than a straight cash deal for him.
