 GREEK winger Stelios Giannakopoulos is in Liverpool's sights after the Reds made an official approach to Bolton. Reds boss Rafa Benitez has declined the chance to bring Nolberto Solano to Anfield as part of the £6.5m Milan Baros transfer, and has turned to Greek midfielder Stelios for a bargain £1m. Baros completed his transfer to Villa today, providing more funds for Benitez to strengthen other areas. Benitez has tracked Stelios all summer as he seeks to increase his options on the right flank. With deadline day looming, that interest has now materialised into an approach with the Greek having a get-out clause in his contract should Bolton receive a £1m bid. Benitez's intentions in the transfer market are now taking shape. He's confirmed his interest in Bundesliga pair Fernando Meira of Stuttgart and Lukas Sinkiewicz of Colgone. And he is also considering 20-year-old Dane Daniel Agger. Who arrives depends on their fee, with Agger currently priced beyond Benitez ' s valuation. Liverpool want to sign a minimum of three players. With the right midfielder identified, and the defender likely to be one of the three listed, the attention will switch to the forward line. Michael Owen dominates the agenda, but he now knows he faces a rival in Dirk Kuyt if the current stalemate continues. Benitez openly admits his interest in the Feyenoord striker, but a move for the Dutchman is only likely if no progress is made with Owen over the next few days. Contrary to ludicrous rumours, Benitez is under no pressure to complete a deal for Owen from chairman David Moores. Nor will the chairman be dipping into his own bank account to finance a deal against Benitez's will. |
