Liverpool boss Benitez wants £10M Garay deal in January

Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez is considering a £10 million January bid for Racing Santander defender Ezequiel Garay.

The Guardian says Benitez has been searching for a central defender who can also operate at full-back since Heinze was prevented from making the journey from Old Trafford to Anfield by a Premier League arbitration panel in August.

He has his sights on the £10m-rated Garay, who was linked with United this year, and is contemplating meeting Santander's asking price when the transfer window reopens. Garay, who turned 21 last month, joined the Spanish club from Newell's Old Boys two years ago and won his first - and so far only - cap for Argentina in a friendly against Norway in August.

A centre-half who can also perform at right-back, Garay would initially provide much-needed cover for a Liverpool defence which has wavered at times without the injured Daniel Agger.

Man Utd, Liverpool target Garay wants England move

Argentine star Ezequiel Garay has confirmed that he dreams of playing in England.

The 21-year-old central defender is shining at Racing Santander in La Liga - who he joined in 2005 from Newell's Old Boys.

Liverpool and Manchester United have both dispatched their scouting network to watch Garay in recent weeks, whilst Real Madrid and Barcelona are also well aware of his progress.

"We know the situation and the number of scouts that are at our games, but nobody has sent anything to us," a club spokesman confirmed.

"We are calm and, as normal if something arrived, we would study it."

Garay himself refuses to talk of his potential suitors and remains calm about the interest.

"These sorts of rumours appeared last season, but I am still with Racing," he told skysports.com.

"This news does not concern me because my only objective is to play well for Racing - if an offer does arrive that I will look at it."

He does admit playing in the Premier League would be a huge lure.

"To play in England is a dream," he admitted.

"But I insist that I do not want to talk about the hypothesis. I do not have any preferences about any clubs.

"My head is in Racing but like all professionals I would like to progress.

"But I have spoken with the directors of Racing only this week and there is no real news about me."
