Albert Riera Looking for a Move to Russia

Liverpool’s Spanish international Albert Riera was the centre of all attention recently when he fully criticized manager Rafael Benitez and termed the Merseyside club a ‘sinking ship’. Now, the winger is looking for a move away from the premier league club to Russia. Reports have it in the media suggesting that CSKA Moscow and Spartak Moscow have already shown their interest in the player and want to acquire his service before Russia’s transfer window closes on 8 April.

Reira has not been in very good form so far this season and has been out of Benitez’s favor as the Spaniard made only 16 appearances this season. Naturally, he is looking for more first team football in order to strengthen his claim for a place in Spain’s world cup squad.

Liverpool also has no problem in letting him go, but wants a transfer fee worth £6m, while the Russian clubs wants to accomplish a loan deal for the player. However, the player hopes that his move to the Russian capital could be completed this week.
