Liverpool Centre Back Pair Linked With £14m Exit As Anfield Club Listen To Offers

Liverpool defender Daniel Agger is a summer transfer priority for Wolfsburg, according to reports in Germany.

The Bundesliga strugglers, who sacked former England manager Steve McClaren earlier this month, have identified the Dane as the man they want to shore up their defence.

And it is reported that the clubs have already been in contact about a possible deal in the summer with Wolfsburg prepared to pay Liverpool around £9m for the 26-year-old.

Agger, who is an integral part of Kenny Dalglish’s side, signed a contract extension in 2009 which would keep him at Liverpool until 2014.

Meanwhile, Liverpool defender Martin Skrtel is being linked with a summer Anfield exit.

The Slovakian centre back has been in-and-out of the side at Liverpool under Kenny Dalglish, and now Wolfsburg are reportedly keen to add the player to their ranks.

Bundesliga champions under Steve McLaren just two seasons ago, the German outfit have struggled since, but have money to spend after the sale of Edin Dzeko to Manchester City.

Skrtel has been targeted as a player who can bolster the club’s defence, according to the Star on Sunday, and the club are reportedly ready to test Liverpool with a bid in the region of £5 million.
