Benitez Interested In Villa
--------------------------------------------------

No, Rafael Benitez is not planning to buy a house next to one of Zinedine Zidane´s in Southport. It does appear, however, that Zaragoza forward David Villa is now his primary transfer target to relieve the Reds striker crisis.
The 22-year-old is drawing a lot of attention to himself in La Liga having already scored six goals in 12 matches so far this season.
Zaragoza officials have now claimed that Liverpool have already made an opening bid for the player. However, the 3 million pounds Liverpool are said to have offered is well below the 8 million pound asking price.
“If Liverpool want our attention the only solution is to offer this money,” says Real Sporting Director Miguel Pardeza.
It has also been revealed that Rafa Benitez already tried to sign the player for Valencia right before moving to Liverpool. He then failed with a 6 million pound bid and it is unlikely that this time he will succeed by offering half that.
Question remains whether Liverpool will become stronger with a below 10 million pound striker from a relatively small club. Fernando Morientes and Nicolas Anelka are still linked to the Reds as well and are firm favourites with the fans around Anfield
J´en parle souvent, mais j´aime bien ce David Villa Sanchez ^^ Quand je l´avais vu jouer il était milieu gauche...
