Exclusive: Liverpool will sell Voronin to finance Barry deal
By James Nursey 18/07/2008
Liverpool will sell Andrei Voronin to finally seal Gareth Barry's bitter switch from Aston Villa.
Barry, 27, yesterday faced his Villa boss Martin O'Neill for the first time this summer.
The midfielder and his agent spent an hour with O'Neill and Villa director Paul Faulkner at the club's training ground.
There Barry stated his desire for a move after four rejected Anfield bids.
O'Neill is ready to wash his hands of the star - and does not want his squad distracted by Barry's return from a two-week ban. Liverpool are now poised to return with a fifth bid of £16million plus Irish full-back Steve Finnan, 32.
Liverpool plan to sell former Leverkusen striker Voronin, 27, to a German club for around £3m to help finance the long-running deal.
Liverpool FC close to deal for Robbie Keane
Jul 18 2008 EXCLUSIVE by John Thompson, Liverpool Echo
Republic of Ireland international Robbie Keane
LIVERPOOL will look to tie up a deal for Robbie Keane in the next 48 hours after Tottenham gave up the struggle to keep their star player at White Hart Lane.
The chances of Rafa Benitez getting his man were boosted significantly last night when Spurs boss Juande Ramos admitted for the first time he is likely to have to cash in on some of his big names in an effort to balance the books.
With boyhood Reds fan Keane desperate to move to Anfield and Benitez equally keen on signing him, the move is likely to happen sooner rather than later given the Liverpool manager's desire to be able to work with his new signings at the earliest possible opportunity.
There is now an acceptance at Tottenham that Keane will get his dream move and yesterday's comments from Ramos were a clear attempt by the manager to prepare the club's fans for the departure of their hero.

"Irrespective of the outcome and futures of Robbie and Dimitar, we are continuing to seek to bring in quality, talented players for the future, who want to play in a Spurs shirt."
