Benitez eyes Lavezzi
Liverpool have had a £22million bid rejected for Napoli midfielder Ezequiel Lavezzi. Rafael Benitez is eager to bolster his squad to give his team the best chance of loosening Manchester United's grip on the Premier League and rising star Lavezzi was high on his list.Reports in Italy suggest Benitez is still interested in the 24-year-old despite Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis telling him Lavezzi is not for sale.
Lavezzi has scored seven times in 28 league matches for Napoli this season and his displays have also alerted Juventus.
It is said a meeting will be held next week to sort out Lavezzi's future as the Argentinean is reportedly keen on leaving Napoli to further his career.
