Liverpool are commendably putting up a fight to keep their prized defender, Daniel Agger at Anfield.Manchester City and Barcelona are very interested in signing the classy Danish centre-half, but Liverpool and Manager Brendan Rodgers do not want to let him leave Liverpool.
Mega-rich City have had informal bids of £15 & £18 million flatly turned down by the Anfield hierarchy.
Having already lost Dirk Kuyt and Maxi Rodriguez and with the talented winger, Craig Bellamy wanting to return to Cardiff, Liverpool will not want to lose a key member of their defence, especially to a Premier League rival.
Some in the media suggest that Agger is stalling in talks over an extension to his contract, which has two years to run, saying the player wants £100,000 a week, up from his current £80,000 a week.
Let us hope that Agger stays at Liverpool, gets an improved contract and continues to put in commanding displays at the back for the Reds this Season and beyond.
And lets buy some quality players ASAP.

Rodgers wants Agger to stay and has, more than likely, made him a MAJOR part of his plans. If he has two years left on contract then either make another Prem team (City) make Agger a record signing for a back or have him play at least this season for Liverpool. Hopefully, as we all are wishing, he'll stay, make a difference in a very successful season and then happily extend his contract. Agger has stated he is excited with the changes he sees. Let's hope the oil money, fickle as it always is, quickly loses interest and decides to pursue one of the other names on their shopping list.
