Rumour Mill: Coloccini claims Liverpool talks

Last updated : 23 July 2004 By Adam Bryant
The Argentinian defender is hoping for a £3.5m move from Milan and insists he would be a good signing for Rafael Benitez's side.

"I've heard the Liverpool reports. We're in talks and the offer interests me,” he said. "I'm proud a club the size of Liverpool rates me, I really like British football and follow it a lot.

"And for the coach who won the Spanish championship to ask for me - given all the players in Spain - is a boost. I'll be very appreciative if the deal comes off. I wouldn't let him down.”
