Transfer Rumours: Aiden McGeady

TRANSFER RUMOURS​

Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish is interested in signing Spartak Moscow winger Aiden McGeady this summer and is closely monitoring the Irish international's situation in the Russian capital. The former Celtic star has done well since his move to the Luzhniki in August but the 24 year old has begun to be linked with interest from Zenit St Petersburg and Juventus amid reports that he could be sold if a significant offer was forthcoming.

McGeady cost Spartak £9.5m just over six months ago but apparently Juventus are willing to offer as much as £20m and it is clear that any sale sanctioned by the Moscow club will more likely be to a side not competing in their own league, hence a move to Zenit being highly unlikely.

Liverpool appear keen on adding more natural wide options having seen the likes of Maxi, Dirk Kuyt, Milan Jovanovic and Joe Cole all fail to make an impact. Kenny Dalglish is thought to be looking for an out and out winger who can help provide ammunition for his new front pairing of Luis Suarez and Andy Carroll.

Aiden McGeady (pictured above) enjoyed six successful years at Celtic before making the brave move into the relative unknown and has become a player well rated by supporters and pundits alike but the Glasgow born wide man would surely be tempted by a move to the Premier League and to Liverpool in particular given the obvious links between the current boss and the Parkhead side he represented so effectively.

Liverpool's owners appear more than willing to finance significant moves in the transfer market and a move for McGeady, though expensive could well add another dimension to the club's attack that could help the club push onwards and upwards next term.

Obviously Caught Offside aren't the most reputable source but it is a feasible transfer in my opinion. I'm sure Kenny has seen the lad play before many times for Celtic. Still young at 24 and the type of player we need at the club and in a position which we currently require depth in. What do we think? Yes? No?

 

Yes. but seems a bit pricey

 

I think 9.5 was pricey at the time he went to Moscow... I'd pay that now or a max of about 15mil...

 

I thought Juve had no money?? One of the excuses for wanting to offer only £6M for Aquilani.

 

I had a discussion the other day with someone about this. It's my belief that Juve are trying to con us, as they are also rumoured to be after Denilson from Arsenal? I think they have money...

 

Leave him in Russia.Go and spend the big money on Alexis Sanchez.McGeady can't cross the road or his legs.
