The strongest European club of this year continues to actively participate in the player market. The most desired player by the English club is Albert Luque from La Coruna, buried in Valencia.
Liverpool has already made a concrete offer, which the Spanish club rejected, stating that to attract the Catalan to the English, they will need to shake their wallets harder.
Despite an impressive triumph in European stadiums this season, Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez intends to heavily renew the team. It seems that one of the most desired players on the wish list is the forward A.Luque.
The president of "Deportivo," which finished 8th in the Spanish championship this season, confirmed receiving offers from England: "We rejected the first offer from Liverpool because it was too small."
The striker, who scored 11 goals in Spain, attracts the attention of other teams. Unofficial data suggests that A.Luque is also on the radar of Real Madrid.
"My contract is valid until 2010 and all negotiations are conducted by 'Deportivo,'" said A.Luque. "Many clubs are interested in me.
"Barcelona" is the champion of Spain, but "Liverpool" is the champion of all Europe. In Liverpool, I have friends like Luis Garcia or goalkeeper Jose Reina, who will soon join the team.
Football in England is great and I have no doubts that I could play in the Premier League. I am a forward, and the Premiership is the best place for the attack."
If A.Luque were to come to Liverpool, he would become the 7th Spaniard in the club. Previously, Spanish citizens such as the Argentinian, Josemi, Xabi Alonso, Antonio Nunez, Luis Garcia, and Fernando Morientes have played in England. By the way, another Spaniard - goalkeeper Jose Reina - is soon to join the team as well.
