Liverpool could sell Daniel Agger, says Brendan Rodgers

Brendan Rodgers has conceded Liverpool may be forced to sell Daniel Agger should Manchester City match their valuation of the player.

The Liverpool manager admitted Agger, 27, was not certain to stay at Anfield for the coming season despite his desire to keep the Denmark defender.
"Every player has a price," Rodgers said. "But no manager wants to lose his best players."

Daniel Agger facts and figures

Born: 12 December, 1984
Height: 1.87m
Position: Centre-back
Clubs: Brondby (2004-06), Liverpool (2006-)
Liverpool appearances and goals: 170 (8)

He added that Craig Bellamy is likely to join Cardiff City later this week.

City's football administrator Brian Marwood has made two inquiries about Agger this summer.
City have indicated they would be willing to bid about £18m for the Denmark international, but Liverpool are holding out for a fee in excess of the £22m City paid Everton for Joleon Lescott in 2009.
It is understood Adam Johnson could yet be offered on loan as a makeweight in a potential deal. Agger has entered the final two years of his contract and talks on a new deal have stalled.
"Top centre-halves are at a premium," Rodgers, speaking before Thursday's Europa League qualifier against FC Gomel, said. "Take Thiago Silva, he left AC Milan to go to Paris St Germain for £40m.  So it has to be a big valuation.
