Fabio aurelio - Bosman transfer
Posted: Tue Mar 14, 2006 6:41 pmLIVERPOOL are planning a summer swoop for Valencia left-back Fabio Aurelio.
The Brazilian international is available on a Bosman transfer and Reds boss Rafa Benitez is keen on discussing a move with his former player.
Aurelio is free to sign a pre-contract agreement with any club. He would be the first Brazilian to sign at Anfield.
The 26-year-old was part of the Valencia squad which won two La Liga titles and a UEFA Cup under Benitez.
Benitez's interest in Aurelio underlines his ongoing commitment to strengthening Liverpool's playing staff ahead of next season.
The attacking defender, who is a set-piece expert, is likely to become the third recruit of the coming close season, with Chilean winger Mark Gonzales and Argentinian defender Gabriel Paletta already signed.
Last month wing-back Aurelio said he could not be certain that he would still be playing his football at the Mestalla next season, after contract negotiations failed to progress.
