  Liverpool Benitez slaps £14M price-tag on Lucas

  Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez has slapped a £14 million price-tag on Lucas Leiva.

  The Mirror says the Kop chief has been approached by a couple of top European sides who hoped to exploit the Anfield cash problems by landing Lucas in a bargain deal.

  However, hard-line Benitez wants the stunning sum for the 22-year-old who splits opinions among Liverpool fans but is always solidly backed by his manager.

  Benitez knows he must move out players in January to bring in cash to strengthen his squad - but his sky-high valuation suggests Lucas is not one of those he will sacrifice.

  This is called marketing.

   

  By quoting a high price, it might make some clubs take notice and wonder what the fuss is all about.

   

  Who knows, some club might actually want to pay that amount.

  The joke will be he get sacked after selling the whole squad to raise money to repay the debts owned by the yankees.

  I dunno how Liverpool can move forward.
