Liverpool Looking For An Increased Inter Offer For Kuyt

Liverpool are willing to engage in further talks with Inter Milan over the possible sale of midfielder Dirk Kuyt to the Treble winners.

IMScouting understands that Inter submitted a cash-plus-player offer for the Dutchman, with Nerazzurri boss Rafa Benitez eager to be reunited with the man he brought to Anfield from Feyenoord for £10million back in 2006.

Inter’s initial offer is thought to consist of £7.5m plus Nigerian forward Victor Obinna –valued by the Italians at around £7m. Liverpool have rejected this offer, but are said to be willing to discuss the issue further.

Ghanaian midfielder Sulley Muntari and Brazilian winger Mancini have also been touted as potential makeweights in any deal, though it is thought that Hodgson and Liverpool would prefer a cash-only deal.

With only nine days left until the closing of the transfer window, Liverpool boss Roy Hodgson is still eager to bring in at least one new face – probably a centre-forward.

Liverpool have been linked with a host of strikers, with FC Twente star Bryan Ruiz the latest name to be touted.
