I guess we all expected this, didn't we? Talks between the Anfield club & Gerrard aren't exactly going the way it should have been. To top it off, Real Madrid is reportedly willing to fork out £20m plus Argentine central defender Walter Samuel to lure the influential skipper to Spain. Real is also believed to be prepared to offer a staggering pay packet of £150,000 per week.


Boudewijn Zenden

Meanwhile, Dutch international - Boudewijn Zenden joins Liverpool from Boro. That would be an midfield boost for the Anfield club. The arrival for Zenden almost confirms that Diao would be departing the club after a 3-year spell at Anfield.


Mark Gonzalez

Benitez also seem to be securing a year-long loan for Mark Gonzalez. The 21-year old Chilean is posed for a temporary move to Anfied once his work permit is granted. Gonzalez has showed his strength and dribbling ability in the Spanish League and was recommended by Pool's first team coach Paco Herrera, who is a former manager of Albacete.

Let's hope all turns well for Gerrard's contract talks with Liverpool & he stays at Anfield. Fingers crossed.
