Dirk Kuyt Admits To Holding Talks Over Move To Inter

Liverpool forward Dirk Kuyt has admitted that he held talks over a possible switch to European champions Inter.

The Dutch front man was a top target for former Reds manager Rafa Benitez, now in charge of Inter.

And despite the move never materializing, Kuyt admits he was flattered to be in negotiations with the reigning Italian champions.

“I cannot deny there were negotiations with Inter,” he is quoted as saying by ESPN.

“It was pleasing to be courted by such a prestigious club, led by the coach who brought me to England and with whom I still have a splendid rapport.

“However, Liverpool declared I was not for sale and I am in any case happy to have stayed in the Premier League.”
