Reds still keen to sign Lallana and are ready to listen to offers for Agger

Negotiations for 26-year-old Southampton midfielder ongoing but Saints holding out for fee close to £25m

Liverpool FC remain keen on securing a deal for Adam Lallana ahead of the World Cup – but are yet to agree a fee for the Southampton skipper.

The Reds tabled a £20m offer for the 26-year-old earlier this month, but Saints are holding out for closer to £25m.

Negotiations between the two clubs are ongoing, and are expected to continue over the next few days.

Liverpool would ideally like a deal agreed before Lallana heads to Brazil with England for the World Cup next month, but are confident that the player is keen on a move to Anfield, and that there is a willingness to sell on Southampton’s part.

Another Southampton player, Dejan Lovren, has been targeted by Brendan Rodgers , though that deal would have no bearing on their pursuit of Lallana.

Xherdan Shaqiri has been lined up as a potential alternative to Lallana, who is currently in Portugal at England’s pre-World Cup training squad. Swansea City goalkeeper Michel Vorm is another who is under consideration.

Reports linking the Reds with a move for Manchester City’s James Milner are premature, though the England winger is someone the club would consider if they were to miss out on other targets over the next couple of months.

The Dane stated earlier this week that he would was unsure of his future, after losing his place at Anfield in the second half of last season.

No formal offers have been made for the 29-year-old as yet, though Napoli have been credited with an interest.

I like Agger a lot but all our defenders look questionable at the minute. On the other hand we have seen that if players work hard on what he wants Rodgers he will give them a chance to get back in th team. I think we have to trust Rodgers to put a defence together.

If we decide he has to go we should ask Barca about swap deals for Sanchez or Pedro (money involved too obviously).

[Chazza]

With Lovren looking likely and rumours that he has put both his house and restaurant up for sale it looks like Agger is off.

Shame as I would still like him here as an option, given Sakho's injury record, but it seems Rodgers doesn't fancy him.

Not really bothered about Agger being sold, once we get a good fee. He'll do well in Spain or Italy with less physicality & not as frenetic.

Selling our best defender FTW

[Chazza]

We're not selling Sakho

[Lee]

Ah, phew.

That'd be our first and second best defenders out of the door then.

[Vermilion]

We're not selling Skrtel.

He's the only one of the lot of em that scores goals from set pieces.

[Gibbo]

Its a shame Agger and Sahko was never given a go, as I think that would obviously be our best pairing. I also think he's better than Lovern from what i've seen.

Anything over £10-15m would be decent business though.

"He has been unfortunate in the time that I've been at the club because the big issue for Dan has been his availability.

"He has been out injured for a number of games. He's an excellent player, an international captain and he's had a very good career at Liverpool.

"He's at a good age, 29, and his experience can be good for us this season. He signed a new contract last season.

"He's an excellent player, a very good footballer and someone that is an important member of our squad."

The dreaded vote of confidence.
