According to Spanish sports daily Marca, Liverpool will not offer a cent more than €12.7m to RCD Espanyol in exchange for winger Albert Riera.
Riera is allegedly viewed by Reds coach Rafael Benítez as an ideal candidate to provide competition out wide on the left for Ryan Babel.
However, with Espanyol yet to receive a former offer, it seems as though Liverpool have already made up their mind that the Mallorca native could cost them too much.
That said, should Espanyol relent and lower their demands somewhat then Benítez would submit a bid of €12.7m for the 26-year-old.
Riera previously stated that he wished to leave Espanyol after the fans turned on him towards the end of last season. Some supporters produced a large banner informing him and other squad members that they would do well not to return to Montjuïc after their summer break.
Nonetheless he has since then made his peace with the incidents of May, pledging to improve on the disastrous end to the last campaign that so enraged the fans in Barcelona. Thus unless the situation changes rapidly, or Liverpool prepare to offer more money, Tintín Márquez will have Riera at his disposal for the new campaign.
