LIVERPOOL have made a shock move to sign
Chelsea winger Florent Malouda for around £10million. Preliminary
talks with Malouda’s people have been positive enough to convince
Kop boss Rafa Benitez the player will leave.
The French international almost joined the Reds last
summer before Chelsea outbid them and offered £60,000 a week
wages.
Benitez plans to move Ryan Babel to a more natural
position on the right or behind Fernando Torres to free up the left
attacking-midfield slot. But the move is very much dependent on a
takeover by DIC.
Meanwhile, Anfield flop Andriy Voronin is wanted by
German side Stuttgart. Voronin, 28, signed on a free last summer
from Bayer Leverkusen and scored six goals. The pony-tailed Ukraine
striker is under contract until 2011 but Liverpool are prepared to
let him leave on the cheap.
