Liverpool are believed to be preparing another bid to sign the Republic of Ireland World Cup star Damien Duff.
Blackburn have fought vigorously to hold on to the highly-rated winger since his return from the Far East with Liverpool leading a clutch of clubs vying for his signature.
Rovers boss Graeme Souness has said in the past that it would take ‘silly money’ to force him to part with his prized-asset, quoting a transfer fee approaching £20 million.
That valuation exceeds the amount Gerard Houllier is prepared to offer but Rovers have conceded Duff would be up for sale if the price is right and the Liverpool manager is thought to be preparing a bid in the region of £10 million to lure the 23-year-old to Anfield.
