Rumour: Napoli plan swoop for Liverpool vice-captain Daniel Agger

Daniel Agger

Serie A side Napoli are reportedly keen on Liverpool defender Daniel Agger. This comes following speculation that the Dane is unsettled at the club after recent high profile signings in the defensive area of the field.

The 29-year old has been a rock at the back, for the Merseysiders in previous seasons. However, he has seen limited opportunities this campaign, as Brendon Rodgers seems to prefer the defensive pairing of Martin Skrtel and new summer recruit Mamadou Sakho in the center of defense.

The club vice-captain has become synonymous with Liverpool in recent seasons, however, a move away from the club might be necessary to gain more first team football.

Napoli manager, Rafael Benitez, managed Liverpool for the best part of five years, where he worked closely with the fleet-footed center back. If Daniel Agger decides to leave the club, Rafael Benitez and Napoli might be favorites to land him at the Stadio San Paolo.
