Oct 19, 2021
Former Liverpool coach Rafa Benitez signed Alberto Aquilani for £ 17 million in 2009 to replace Xabi Alonso Then transfer to Real Madrid. But the Italian midfielder was not Anfield's first choice, but was purchased because he was cheaper than his main goal, David Silva.
Silva has apparently become a legend in the Premier League because of his 10 years and 4 titles in Manchester City. One year after Liverpool fell behind, he landed him in 2010.
On the other hand, Aquilani has played only 28 times for Liverpool in Merseyside in Merseyside in the past two years, and the injuries he has suffered have forced fans to show his debut Wait three months.
Liverpool ended with Manchester United in the 2008/09 Premier League title fight, and Alonso was one of the main pullers for the Reds this season. But in the summer, he transferred to Real Madrid for 30 million pounds, but Benitez's midfielder left a gap that needs to be filled.
"Sports News" noticed that Benitez tried to sell Alonso in 2008 and signed Gareth Barry, in his own words, "maintain balance" and "make money", and then again Try for Aston Villa star. But Manchester City got his signature early for £ 12 million.
Silva was 23 years old. The year before, he started four of Spain ’s five games at the 2008 European Championships, and Benitez is already well known to him because when the Liverpool boss was in charge of the Valencia youth team in Mestalla , He is rising.
"David Silva is very interested," a member of the Benitez club recruiter revealed to The Athletic.
Rafa was the manager of Valencia when he was in Valencia's school. He knew his father, who worked on the training ground there. He would have been perfect, but he couldn't afford it. If we have enough money to achieve this goal, then we will sign Silva 100%. "
The same source explained that Liverpool could not simply spend all of the money it obtained from Alonso on substitutes, because it would take some to repay interest on bank loans.
The staff member said: "The owner hopes to use part of Xabi's money to repay the interest of the loan, so that it is impossible to reinvest the entire 30 million pounds."
"Sports News" wrote that although Aquilani played for Rome, there are two factors to help Liverpool afford players. One reason is that the financial situation of the Roma made them willing to sell, and another reason is that Aquilani was injured – "If he is healthy, it is too expensive for us."
Liverpool performed so poorly in 2009 and has since fallen. Replacing the top Alonso with injured Aquilani made the team worse, and Fernando Torres also started to get injured. Subsequently, they finished the lowest level in 11 years in seventh place in 2009/10.
At the time, Anfield legend Jamie Carragher had previously mentioned the financial situation, which had an impact on the competitiveness of Liverpool and other major clubs in the Premier League, and explained that progress was always slower than Manchester United. many#aclotzone
Carragher told Sky Sports last month: "Rafa came in. We won the Champions League in [2005], but at that time our leading position in Europe was still far away." "This is a great journey, We have a bit of luck, but we are still far away from those top teams, we need to build under the Rafa team, [2008/09 season] is almost four or five years.
"Similarly, under the leadership of Gerard Houllier, if Manchester United are not satisfied with a season, they can go to the sudden transfer market and place themselves in the first place, while in Rafi Bay Under the leadership of Rafa Benitez, we must become better, stronger, and finally reach the peak. That season. "
