Liverpool are resigning themselves to cashing in on Dan Agger.

The Mail on Sunday says the Denmark defender has reached the final two years of his contract and has given no encouragement to the club to extend his deal.

He did not play in the club's Europa League tie in Belarus on Thursday night. Manchester City have seen two offers for Agger rejected but a third bid of £20million is likely to tempt owner John W Henry to sell.

Barcelona have also put Agger on a shortlist of defenders wanted at the Nou Camp but their priority is Arsenal's Alex Song.

Liverpool are under no pressure to sell Agger but will not stand in his way if City make a third, big bid.
