Djibril Cisse's agent expects the player to leave Liverpool in the summer with Tottenham a possible destination.

 

The Frenchman's future at Anfield has been the subject of speculation for some time as he has struggled to hold down a regular place in Rafa Benitez's plans.

 

Benitez is widely expected to bring in striking reinforcements next summer as his forwards have misfired this season.

 

Cisse is expected to be one of the players sacrificed by Liverpool as they look to raise transfer funds for their own spending plans.

 

The former Auxerre man came close to leaving Liverpool during the January transfer window with the player's representative, Ranko Stoijic revealing Tottenham made a late bid to lure him to White Hart Lane.

 

Stoijic admitted that Tottenham are still keen on the speedy forward and that Cisse is attracted by a possible move to London.

 

"A departure is much likely," Stoijic told France Football.

 

"But Djibril has a very good relationship with the fans, and everyone at the club, so he doesn't want to question all that by asking to leave now.

 

"I don't believe the club will be against his departure if they can get ?10 (£6.9 million) or ?14 million. (£9.7 million)

 

"Next summer, Liverpool will need to sell to be able to buy.

 

"We know Tottenham is attracted. Last winter, they already tried to settle the transfer.

 

"On January 31 at 3 pm they contacted us. We didn't want it, a few hours before the end of the winter transfer window.

 

"What would have happened if we had started to try to make the transfer and it would have failed in the last minutes? Djibril would have endured a difficult end to the season.

 

"But the contacts should be renewed in the summer, and Djibril is really attracted.

 

"Tottenham is an improving club, which can offer him more playing time."

 

However, Tottenham have moved to play down the reports insisting they have not made any moves for Cisse.

 

"We have never made an approach for Cisse and have not had any interest in the player," a Tottenham spokesman told the Daily Mail.

 

Cisse's brother Abou also revealed that Marseille wanted to sign the French international in January.

 

However, he was unhappy with the way Marseille conducted themselves in transfer negotiations.

 

"They wanted Djibril to take all the risks, putting Liverpool under pressure to agree to his departure," said Abou Cisse. "But it doesn't work that way.

 

"The two parties must take some risks. We can't ask the player to do everything."

So the article is based on what facts exactly?

I don't like the 'Liverpool have to sell to buy' bit.

then this must have been put together a week ago, prior to the unknown and unquantified source of funding that we have just acquired

Because Cisse's agent knows our money situation inside-out.

 

The agent will still be more privy to (investment) information inside the club (via what Cisse overhears) than any of us. So, either the agent is making a general statement that every club needs to sell before they can buy (bar Chelsea) or he knows something (which isn't exactly new groundbreaking information either).

It's be like that scene from The Simpsons when Homer has been told his great aunt has died and left them an inheritance...

 

Rafa: 'We're going to have to sell you Djibril, we've had an offer of 14 million Euros *quietly whilst pretending to sob* woo-hoo, I'm really sorry to let you go, woo-hoo...

Sorry mate but I wouldn't say that's necessarily the case at all.

No crisis time at all, but all we have is innuendo and hearsay and no concrete proof that any funding has been secured. All we have are a couple of nudges and few winks and people immediately assume we have billions of pounds. Believe it when you see it and not before. We've had too many false dawns on this front before.
