Dipetik dari GuillemBalague.com:
Albert Riera is close to finalising a transfer from Espanyol to Liverpool after the two sides agreed a €10 million deal in principle. The 26 year old former Manchester City player had also been the subject of a bid from Everton, but after an improved offer from Anfield and a busy day of negotiations yesterday, the player is on the verge of completing a move to the red half of Merseyside within the next 24-48 hours.
Rick Parry will travel to Barcelona on Thursday morning in order to meet with Espanyol and put the finishing touches to the paperwork. The Liverpool Chief Executive had planned to arrive in Barcelona on Wednesday, but the trip has been postponed due to flight complications and Champions League commitments. It is expected that Riera will accompany Parry on his return to the UK on Thursday evening in order for the player to undergo a medical examination prior to completing the deal.
GuillemBalague.com reported yesterday that Everton had previously lodged a €12 million bid for the player, and that Espanyol were using rival bids from Liverpool to prompt a bidding war for his signature. However, sources close to the player revealed that Riera had his heart set on playing at Anfield and said: "Albert could not be trying any harder to secure a move to Liverpool FC." With the opportunity to work under fellow Spaniard Rafa Benitez playing a decisive role in influencing his decision, it would appear that Albert Riera has finally got his way.
Ulasan Saya:
Kalau dilihat dari video kompilasi dalam youtube, memang kehebatan Reira amat terserlah. Namun permainan di EPL tak sama dengan corak perlawananan pantas serta, close-up marking dan lebih agresif. Namun masa akan menentukan samada pembelian Reira nanti (kalau terjadi) amat-amat berbaloi berbanding Downing atau Barry.
