La Liga Champions Real Madrid have revealed that they are planning to make an offer for Liverpool defender Daniel Agger in the January transfer window.
23-year-old Agger has had to sit on the sidelines at Anfield after recovering from a broken foot, while Martin Skrtel and Jamie Carragher have formed a solid partnership at the back for the Reds this season. Which has helped the Merseyside club to their best start to a Premier league season, with Rafa Benitez’z side joint top of the Premiership.
Agger still has two years remaining on his deal at Liverpool, but will be tempted to swap Anfield for the Bernabeu if his current situation with the Reds does not improve, with the Danish International only having made 36 appearances since his arrival from Brondby in 2006.
Los Merengues vice-president Jose Angel Sanchez has revealed that Real have been tracking Agger for some time and that the Spanish side are looking for a defender and striker in January, with Agger at the top of their list.
"He [Agger] is a player we have been looking at for a long time and it is likely we will bid for him in January. He is a world-class player and without doubt he would fit into our plans,” Sanchez told The Times.
"What we need is a defender and a striker, and, at the moment, Agger is on top of our list."
Sanchez went on to reveal that only the situation surrounding Brazilian Robinho, who eventually made a transfer deadline day move to Manchester City stopped them from making an offer for Agger in the summer.
“We already had plans about buying Agger this summer, along with some other players, but the Robinho situation took so much attention and demanded so many resources from the club that we had to drop the plans about putting a bid in for Agger and other players that we had in mind.”
