Liverpool Priced Out Of Lyon’s Florent Malouda Chase – The Reds Focus On Benfica’s Simao Sabrosa – Lyon Want £17m For Malouda

Liverpool’s interest in wingers has shifted from Simao Sabrosa to Florent Malouda and now back to the Portuguese international after Lyon rated France World Cup star at £17million, according to Liverpool Echo.

Benfica’s Sabrosa, who has been a long-time target for the Reds, is now reportedly the prime property for the Reds boss Rafa Benitez, who is eager to begin the signing process for the next season.

Benitez was hoping that he could sign 27-year-old Malouda for £8million, however with big-spending Chelsea and Premiership rivals Arsenal also in the hunt, the French champions are holding out for a big-money deal.

Simao is reportedly valued in the region of £11million and the 27-year-old Benfica captain is said to have thwarted interest from French sides Lyon and Paris Saint-Germain. He is seemingly keen on a move the Premiership, however club president Luis Filipe Vieira will only consider an “incredible offer” as they don’t wish to sell him.
