Rumour Mill: Liverpool Keen On Upson?

Last updated : 13 March 2005 By Brian Cartlidge

The Sunday tabloid suggests that Reds boss Rafael Benitez is poised to launch a £5million bid for the England international defender should he turn down the offer of a new deal at St Andrew's.

Upson still has 15 months to run on his present contract at Blues but part of the deal when he signed from Arsenal back in January 2003 was that after he had played 60 games for the club he would be offered a new improved contract.

Upson has now surpassed that 60 game figure and talks of a new contract at Blues are said to be on-going.
