Bundesliga Outfit Confirm Interest In Liverpool Attacker

The chairman of German side Hamburg has confirmed that he is interested in opening talks with out-of-favour Liverpool attacker Dirk Kuyt.

Kuyt has been heavily linked with a move away from Anfield after finding his first team opportunities limited this season, with rumours swirling that a number of European clubs are considering moves for him.

The 31 year-old is thought to be a target for former club Feyenoord, with reports that the Dutch side are willing to offer him a player/coach role.

However it appears as though Bundesliga outfit Hamburg are ready to make the first move for the Netherlands international, after Carl-Edgar Jarchow admitted that he is prepared to open talks with the player.

As reported by Goal.com, Jarchow told reporters: “Until now there have been no negotiations.

“We have to sit down with the player and his agent to find a solution.”

Hamburg have endured a difficult season, finishing just above the relegation zone, and are hoping to add to their squad over the summer months as they plan for next year.

As Jarchow continues, that would include Kuyt, but he concedes that there may be an issue over the wages on offer. "The level of wages in the Premier League is very different to ours. Whether there is the possibility of a move remains to be seen."
