Liverpool must resist another approach for defender Daniel Agger from Liverpool, with the Dane now a prime target for the Spanish champions.

Reports from Spain suggest a £14 million bid has been lodged for the 28-year-old, although Liverpool insist they have received no formal offer yet.

Agger was valued at £30 million by Liverpool when a bid from Manchester City was strongly rejected last summer.

There is some concern that Barcelona will be able to tempt Agger from Anfield, however, so much so that Martin Skrtel has been told he can forget about leaving in the immediate future.

Liverpool have also agreed to pay £2 million of Pepe Reina’s £6 million salary for the duration of his season’s loan at Napoli.

Meanwhile, Chelsea, have rejected a £35 million bid from Barcelona for Brazilian defender David Luiz.
