FORLAN REDS TALK PLAYED DOWN

Diego Forlan's agent has played down talk linking the player with a possible move to Liverpool.

Reports over the weekend suggested Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez was considering bringing the former Manchester United man back to England.

It has been suggested that Benitez has turned to Forlan after being priced out of moves for top targets such as Samuel Eto'o and Carlos Tevez.

Forlan has recaptured his best form at Villarreal after arriving in the summer of 2004 following a difficult two-and-a-half-year spell at Old Trafford.

The Uruguayan, who has three years to run on his contract at Villarreal, is believed to be keen on a move back to England.

Forlan's agent Daniel Bolotnicoff says he has not had any offers from Liverpool and that Forlan's future depends on Villarreal.

"There has not been any offer from Liverpool and it's very difficult to talk about what might happen when there isn't an offer there, but things can change every day," Bolotnicoff told The Times.

"If he received a very good offer then he will think about it, but it will also depend on whether Villarreal are happy."

Liverpool have also been linked with a move for Real Zaragoza's Diego Milito after they reportedly had the Argentine player watched during last weekend's game with Real Madrid.
