Kuyt Confirms Summer Talks With Inter

Liverpool's versatile Dutch
forward Dirk Kuyt has confirmed
that talks took place with
Internazionale over the summer,
before the Reds declared their
player not for sale.
Kuyt, 30, was heavily linked with
a move away from Anfield,
especially after former Liverpool
boss Rafa Benitez took charge at
the San Siro.
However, Liverpool eventually
opted to keep hold of Kuyt, who
has scored 52 goals in 204
appearances in his four years on
Merseyside.
Kuyt commented: "I cannot deny
there were negotiations with
Inter.
"It was pleasing to be courted by
such a prestigious club, led by
the coach who brought me to
England and with whom I still
have a splendid rapport.
"However, Liverpool declared I
was not for sale and I am, in any
case, happy to have stayed in the
Premier League."
