Benitez aims for San Siro reunion with Kuyt
Liverpool striker Dirt Kuyt could be on his way to join former boss Rafa Benitez at Inter Milan, according to the player’s agent.
Benitez bought Kuyt to Anfield in 2006 and the Spanish manager is a keen admirer of the 30-year-old hard-working Dutch international and reports suggest he is looking for a reunion at the San Siro.
The player’s agent Rob Jansen told Voetbal International: “Yes, there is real interest from Inter, but Dirk has not yet decided if he wants to leave Liverpool.
“This is also a complicated transfer. Dirk Kuyt is a key player for Liverpool, he has an ongoing contract and was recently in the World Cup final.
“He may move to Inter or just stay at Liverpool. There is also the possibility that a player from Inter could be included in the deal with Dirk Kuyt.”
Kuyt was rested for Liverpool’s Europa League play-off clash with Trabzonspor last night but could play a part against Man City on Monday night at Eastlands.
Liverpool are 3.10 to pick up the away win, with City 2.37 and the draw 3.25.

I can leave Wigan – N’Zogbia
Wigan winger Charles N’Zogbia has revealed that the club will not stand in his way if a bigger club wants to acquire his services.
N’Zogbia joined Wigan in January 1999, when he angered fans of Newcastle by voicing his desire to play at a higher level.
And the 24-year-old is keen to take another step upwards in his footballing career.
“When I came here, I was in a period where I wanted to relaunch myself,” N’Zogbia told L’Equipe. “Today I’m at Wigan but if tomorrow a good club with great aims contacts me, I am open.
“I have talked about it with my bosses. They won’t put a spoke in the wheel.”
Despite their apparent willingness to sell Wigan will still hope to have N’Zogbia available for their first game of the season at home to Blackpool on 14th August.
Full Time Result betting has Wigan at 1.80, while Blackpool can be backed at 4.33 and the draw is 3.25.
Following the entire France World Cup squad being suspended for their friendly against Norway next month, N’Zogbia has been selected by new coach Laurent Blanc for the match.
Should he win his first cap, it would put an end to talk of him playing for England.
He continued: “They talked about me (playing for England) but for me it’s just something in the press.
“Until the moment someone at the Federation comes and talks to me about it face to face, I haven’t even asked myself the question.
“In my head I’m French. There’s no reflection to make.”
Wigan are 3.25 to be relegated from the Barclays Premier League 2010/11.
