Club has begun to line up the ranks for the upcoming season. The team will be supplemented by attacking leader Craig Bellamy for about 6 million pounds.
The 26-year-old striker has already arrived in Liverpool, where he underwent a medical examination and finalized the details of the contract. In the near future, the footballer will put his signature on a four-year deal.
Interestingly, C.Bellamy agreed to wear "Liverpool" shirts, even though "Blackburn" offered a much more financially attractive new contract proposal. Within the "Reds" ranks, he will earn 'only' 45 thousand pounds per week - while "Blackburn" offered as much as 60 thousand pounds.
C.Bellamy justified his decision by the fact that he has supported the "Liverpool" club since childhood and could not refuse to represent it. The striker also admitted that he was attracted by the opportunity to test his skills in the UEFA Champions League.
The quick, energetic, and technical forward will compete for a place on the field with Peter Crouch and Robbie Fowler. Team strategist Rafael Benitez also does not hide his desire to invite star Dirk Kuyt.
