Liverpool boss Gerard Houllier is reportedly unhappy that John Arne Riise's agent has spoken to Real Madrid and Barcelona about the player.
Riise's representative Einar Baardsen has admitted to speaking to the Spanish clubs but only because they had expressed an interest should he ever become available in the future.
"Two top European clubs have been in contact with me regarding John Arne and both are Spanish," said Baardsen. "One contacted me directly while the other has made enquiries through other people."
