Agger Set To Leave Liverpool
Liverpool’s signing of Southampton defender Dejan Lovren could spell the end of Daniel Agger’s career at Anfield. The Lovren announcement coincided with several Agger stories relating to the Dane leaving the Reds.
Agger did not appear at the team’s training session ahead of Sunday’s friendly in Chicago, and rumour has it that he’d sustained an injury resulting in him being sent home to recuperate at Melwood.
The news of Agger leaving Liverpool’s tour of America has triggered speculation that Barcelona are about to raid the Reds for the second time this summer, this time for Agger as they seek to strengthen their defence.
It is believed that the Catalan giants are ready to bid £12 million for the Reds’ defender as they hope to bring one more defender to the club after signing Valencia’s Jeremy Mathieu.
Barcelona’s sporting director Andoni Zubizarreta is also a huge fan of the Denmark international and believes he has the abilities to succeed at the Camp Nou.
Agger has constantly been linked with a move away from Anfield after struggling to feature in Liverpool’s defence last season and Lovren’s arrival could result in the Dane finally leaving.
I hope Agger stays at Anfield but I think his days are numbered.
Overrated, very poor defender, continually getting injured. Getting anything for him would be a bonus.
