Rafael Benitez, the Liverpool manager, is set to make a move for Milan's Argentinian centre-half Fabricio Coloccini in an
attempt to add muscle to his defence.
Coloccini could be on his way to Anfield in a cut-price move - either for a ￡3.5m fee or on loan for the season.
Coloccini, 22, belongs to Milan but has spent the past three seasons in Spain with temporary deals to Alaves, Atletico
Madrid and Villareal. Last season he was a key part of the Villareal side that reached the semi-final of the Uefa Cup.
Benitez likes his physical and skilful style, and watched him regularly when he was in charge of Valencia.
He has already put feelers out for Coloccini, who had a reputation for being volatile in Italy, and may now make a formal
bid. However, a loan move to Liverpool might help all parties, knocking more rough edges off Coloccini in the process,
although Liverpool are equally keen to recruit Coloccini on a permanent basis. 作者: 潘帕斯王子 时间: 2004-8-4 03:45
