Inter Make £15 Million Move For Liverpool Striker Dirk Kuyt

Inter and former Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez is ready to bid £15 million to prise Dutch forward Dirk Kuyt away from Anfield.

According to The Sunday Mail, Liverpool remain adamant that Kuyt is not for sale, and manager Roy Hodgson stated earlier this week that he believed Inter president Massimo Moratti would not be bidding for any of his players.

However, Kuyt has been told that the Merseysiders received a fax from Inter on Thursday night following their Europa League clash with Trabzonspor and now has the option of moving to Milan to be reunited with his former boss.

He was reported to have told a newspaper in Holland yesterday: "On Thursday night, during the Europa League game against Trabzonspor, the board of Liverpool informed me officially that they have received a fax from Inter. You can call this a luxury situation for me."

Inter are understood to have offered a cash-plus-player exchange deal for Kuyt which was rejected, but it is reported that a cash-only bid would be enough for Liverpool to change their stance on the Dutchman.
