Bellamy deal imminent

The Welsh striker has a £6 million get-out clause in his Blackburn Rovers contract that expires at the end of this month.

With Marseille now looking likely to take Djibril on loan next season, Rafael Benitez will exercise the clause in Bellamy's contract and sign the former Newcastle man.

The Reds should complete the signing when Bellamy returns from his honeymoon later this week.
