Liverpool made bid for Brazilian Defender

Cruzeiro defender Edu Dracena has revealed that Liverpool made a bid to sign him in October. The Brazilian centreback, who is also a target for Villarreal, has produced some some superb performances in his national league. The 24 year old was linked to Real Madrid, in the summer, and a reunion with his old boss Wanderly Luxemburgo.
Although Cruzeiro would like to extend his contract Dracena is pleased by the interest:

"The only proposal that I knew about was one that came in October from Liverpool but it was refused by Cruzeiro,'' conceded Dracena.
"Nobody from Villarreal has done a proposal to me because they know that first of all they have to talk to Cruzeiro. I am working very hard and trying to do my best at Cruzeiro, as having a proposal from abroad hasn't happened yet.
"I am happy because several teams are showing interest in me but I must say that at the moment Cruzeiro is the team that has the priority for renewing my contract.''

Rafa certainly has his scouts out in force at all corners of the globe. We are being linked with players from many different regions at present. It's only a matter of time before we sign a relatively unknown player who turns out to be a top quality signing.
