Report: Liverpool Resume Pursuit Of Valencia's David Silva

Rafa Benitez is hoping to use his connections at Valencia to bring David Silva to Liverpool.

Silva has been linked with a move away from the Mestalla all summer, although Valencia have consistently stated that they are not willing to sell their best players.

However, according to The Telegraph, Benitez believes that Los Che do have to raise some money, and with David Villa now unlikely to move, it is Silva who might have to be sold. Liverpool had earlier refused to pay Valencia's asking price of €29million for Silva, but they now believe they can land him at a reduced price.

Even if Valencia do agree to sell, The Reds will face another obstacle in the fact that Silva has always stated that he intends to remain in Spain, although Liverpool believe their large Spanish contingent can lure him to Anfield.
