Barely 24 hours after news broke out that Liverpool have put in a GBP50 million bid for Carlos Tevez, Rafa Benitez goes and says the Reds will break the their previous transfer records this summer (you can read it here).
It has to be noted that Liverpool's previous transfer record was some GBP20 million for Fernando Torres and it is widely believed the two skinflint American owners at Anfield will only give the Spaniard another GBP20 million to play with this summer.
Nonetheless, Benitez latest revelations has increased speculation that Carlos Tevez is indeed on his way to Liverpool. As mentioned in my previous blog, it's no big secret that Benitez has long admired the Argentine forward. In fact, it has been rumoured that Benitez tried to engineer a deal to bring Tevez over to Liverpool back when compatriot Javier Mascherano was signed on a loan deal.
While Carlos Tevez' price tag is still unclear at this point, it's safe to say it would be above GBP20 million. And if Benitez' transfer kitty is stuck at GBP20 million, he'll have to sell first before making any purchases which has led to rumours Xabi Alonso may be on his way to Real Madrid. Now that would indeed change things at Liverpool
i think Tevez is worth a lot of money, but i would not agree with 50 million pound tag which the gratest club in the world has bid for him. But any would love to see the T&T striking partnership to rock & roll the English Premier League next season.
