Another day, yet another midfielder linked with a move to Anfield, and this time, the player in question is Real Betis playmaker Beñat Extebarria, who could be available in the January transfer window.
In an interview yesterday, Real Betis` majority shareholder, Bosch Valero confirmed that the Spanish star could be on his way out of the club. He said:
“We do not rule out the possibility that Beñat could leave this winter.
"Contract negotiations are ongoing, but there is no progress or agreement from both sides.
"We are aware the Beñat could earn more at another club.
“Wolfsburg offered more than €10 million for him, but we decided that it was not a good time to sell him".
According to a report in Spanish newspaper AS today, Liverpool and Arsenal are interested in signing Benat, who is allegedly one Brendan Rodgers's 'favourite' players.
Benat reportedly has a €20million release clause written into his current contract, but the fact that Valero considered selling the player to Wolfsburg for €10m suggests that he could actually be available for a lot less.
Real Betis’ are currently battling against administration, which could ultimately force the club to cash-in on their prized asset.
