The club made an offer of £3.5 million for the forward Fernando Morientes. It is already being said that this offer has been rejected and the Spanish club would like about twice the amount.
The 28-year-old forward is currently only the fourth choice forward at the Madrid club this year, after the newcomer Michael Owen, Ronaldo, and Raul. This does not satisfy F. Morientes and he openly admits that he wants to leave the club. Besides Liverpool, other clubs are also interested in the forward, who was loaned out to the same club last season. The player himself stated that he would be willing to move to both teams.
Liverpool has been looking for a powerful forward for some time now, who could strengthen the English club's attacking line. Due to a serious leg injury experienced by the club's new forward, Djibril Cisse, coach R. Benitez's choice has been reduced to three young forwards - Milan Baros, Neil Mellor, and Sinama Pongolle.
