Brondby: Liverpool rivals in for Agger

Jan 9 2006

By Ian Doyle, Daily Post

BRONDBY have claimed Liverpool face competition from a number of other Premiership clubs for the signature of Daniel Agger. The 21-year-old centre-back is the top of Rafael Benitez's January wishlist as he attempts to bolster his defensive options. Reports in Denmark yesterday suggested Brondby have slapped a £7million price tag on the player. Liverpool are unwilling to go above £5.5m for the player and, with other transfer options available, Benitez's patience will not last forever. Story continues ADVERTISEMENT However, it is unlikely Brondby would reject Liverpool's offer for a player who is out of contract in 18 months. Brondby chief executive Per Bjerregaard expects Agger to be training with his current club this week and has dismissed the suggestion personal terms with Liverpool have already been agreed by the player. And he said last night: "It is 100% rubbish and is not true that personal terms have been agreed. It is true that Liverpool are one of the clubs that are interested but there are also other Premier League clubs interested in him. "People seem to think that this story is more developed than it is in real life. "As a guy who loves football, I want to keep our best players, but I'm realistic that there comes a time when good players have to leave." Juventus and Bayern Munich have also been linked with Agger, but the fact Bjerregaard has named Liverpool for the first time suggests a deal is in the works.
