Liverpool have prepared for Scott Carson's exit by making a £3m offer for the Brazilian goalkeeper Diego Cavalieri, although their £10m valuation of the England international is frustrating his hopes of a move away from Anfield.
Carson wants to leave Rafael Benítez's team having spent loan spells at Aston Villa, Charlton and Sheffield Wednesday in the three years since joining Liverpool from Leeds United. The 22-year-old, capped twice by England, saw a proposed return to Villa fall through after Martin O'Neill deemed the goalkeeper over-priced, while interest from Middlesbrough and West Bromwich Albion also cooled over Liverpool's demands.
Another season-long loan remains possible for Carson but, with the player wanting stability and his club seeking to raise funds for Benítez's transfer budget, neither party is keen on the idea. Anfield officials are close to securing cover for Jose Reina next season after holding talks with Palmeiras over Cavalieri. Milan and Internazionale have both been linked with the 26-year-old but Liverpool are understood to have agreed personal terms with the Brazilian and hope to secure his signature next week.
Benítez completed his second signing of the summer yesterday when Andrea Dossena finalised his move from Udinese. The Italian left-back, capped once by his country, signed a four-year deal and will cost Liverpool an initial £6m, rising to £8m over the course of his contract. He follows the Swiss international Philipp Degen, who has joined on a free transfer from Borussia Dortmund.
The veteran coach Archie Knox has joined Paul Ince's backroom staff at Blackburn Rovers. The 61-year-old former Manchester United, Rangers and Everton coach was released by Gary Megson from Bolton at the end of last season and will work alongside Ince and the assistant manager Ray Mathias as Rovers' first-team coach.
Councillors in Liverpool have formed a cross-party alliance to urge the government to call-in Everton's proposed stadium move to Kirkby. The £400m project between Everton and Tesco is currently under review by the Government Office for the North West. Leaders of the Labour, Liberal Democrat, Liberal and Green parties are to formally request an inquiry amid allegations the project breaks planning regulations.
