Liverpool ready to sell Riera to CSKA Moscow this week
Liverpool intend to sell Albert Riera this week.
The Sunday Mirror says Liverpool hope to recoup most of the £8million they paid Espanyol for the Spanish winger less than two years ago by offloading him to Champions League quarter-finalists CSKA Moscow.
The transfer window is open in Russia until next month and Spartak Moscow have also lodged an interest.
Riera, who has been told there is no way back for him at Anfield despite a desperate attempt to retract his bitter criticism, would prefer to stay in England or move to Italy or Spain.

Unfortunately for Albert Riera, he has been brilliant in the first half season at Liverpool, however, his injury prone issue has kept him out of bay and caused his performance under achieving and his recent outburst with Rafa has signal the end of his career at Anfield. Wondering who will be our No.11 next. Will it be Edin Hazard of Lille? Bordeaux's Joan Gourcuff? Javi Vargas, Shaun Wright-Phillips or Joan Capdevila?
Riera did fine for us, and last season was quite good. This season, though, he has been afraid to truly run at people, and that was honestly his best quality last year. Without that, he's just a poor-man's Ryan Babel... and Babel is only on the bench!
Don't think this would be a BAD move, but I do think it needs to be for at LEAST 8 million pounds for it to be worth our while.
get shut.
