Rafa Benitez has confirmed that Liverpool's chief scout
held talks with Valencia, but the Spaniard has affirmed that
David Silva is not a target for The Reds.
European champion Silva has been linked to the Anfield outfit in
recent months, with Benitez believed to be a huge admirer of the
flying winger.
But the Spanish manager has refuted suggestions he is looking to
add his fellow countryman to his roster, even if he has confirmed
that Eduardo Marcial made the trip to the Mestalla to hold talks
with Los Che.
David Villa, as well as Juan Mata, are amongst the Valencia
stars that have recently been linked to Liverpool.
“Our chief scout Eduardo [Marcial] was in Valencia and was
talking to different people from the club, but someone was talking
too much,” Benitez said.
“So, at this moment, Silva is not a target.
“He is a good player, but not our target.”
