Manchester City's Micah Richards Set For Cut Price Liverpool
-
Manchester City central defender Micah Richards is the subject of a bid from Premier League rivals Liverpool, according to News of the World.
The Reds have reportedly put in a £5 million bid for the youngster, a bid that is likely to be rejected by the Manchester based club.
City value the 20-year-old at around the £20 million mark and are unlikely to accept anything less than that.
However, City boss Mark Hughes is believed to be willing to let the central defender leave the club.
The pair reportedly had a training ground bust up earlier in the season, and Hughes is apparently willing to let the defender go, but not for such a low price.
Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez has a restricted transfer budget this season and is looking to pick up a few bargains in the summer transfer window.
Richards has already broken onto the international scene and has won 11 England caps in his short career, he is expected to gain more under England coach Fabio Capello.
Benitez is looking for signings to bolster his squad, so that they can mount another serious Premier League title challenge, and it is believed that the lure of Champions League football could persuade Richards to move to Anfield. -
Just £5 million ?Walan , Rafa and co really too much , value him at just £5 million ?Man City can actually keep him on the bench than sell it to us .£10 million maybe more realistic .
