Woodgate mulling over Premiership clubs
|
Real Madrid defender Jonathan Woodgate is weighing up offers from three Premiership clubs.
The Sun says the England defender is mulling over offers from Liverpool, Middlesbrough and Newcastle.
But Kop boss Rafa Benitez is confident the lure of Champions League football will see Woody, 26, pick Anfield to revitalise his career. The Reds manager was talking with Real chiefs last night.
The £13.4million centre-back is back to full fitness after two years of back, thigh and hamstring injury hell, which limited him to just 14 Real games.
His chances in Spain have also not been helped by the arrival of Italy's World Cup winning captain Fabio Cannavaro this summer.
Madrid boss Fabio Capello wants Woodgate to prove his troubles are over by playing regularly in the Premiership.
The former Leeds and Newcastle star was told he can leave on a season-long loan in a meeting with Real bosses after training yesterday.
They are even prepared to continue paying a large slice of his £70,000 a week wages while he is in England.
