Rafael Benitez has decided to sell ex-Espanyol player- Riera after his latest outburst on Thursday.
The controversies just can’t stay under the carpet for Benitez and Liverpool! Riera recently spoke on Radio Marca, he commented:
“When the coach says nothing to you and you are well, with no physical problems and training well, you cannot help but think it must be something personal.”
He added that he felt Liverpool were a “sinking ship” after a poor season which has seen early exits from the title race, Champions League and FA Cup.
These comments led to his suspension from training and he also missed the game against United.
Rafa has sought to get rid of the player by selling him off to a club in Russia. According to a report in the Daily Mail, Benitez wants to take advantage of Russia’s extended transfer deadline (April 8th) to try and sell him to Spartak Moscow. This would help him recoup part of or the complete £6 million he paid to sign Riera from Espanyol.
