Confirmation of Liverpool bid

---

Reports early this evening claim that Liverpool made a formal offer of just £12million, and not £25million as was first reported, for Blackburn Rovers winger Damien Duff.

It is likely that the total package would be around £25million if accepted as this would include the bid, signing-on fee and wages calculated over the period of the contract.

Duff will be expected to confirm tomorrow if he intends to stay at Rovers or seek a challenge with another club such as Liverpool or United.
