Liverpool agree to sell Albert Riera to CSKA Moscow for £6 million
Liverpool have agreed to sell Albert Riera to CSKA Moscow for £6 million this summer, according to reports.
The future of the Spaniard, due back in training this week having been suspended by the club for criticising manager Rafael Benitez's techniques, has been the topic of speculation since he publicly branded Liverpool a "sinking ship".
According to the Guardian, board members at Anfield are now ready to cash in on the 27-year-old and will allow him to discuss personal terms with CSKA before the Russian transfer window closes on April 8.
The move could prove beneficial for both club and player with Riera growing increasingly frustrated at only being handed 16 appearances this season.
His lack of first team football led to his outburst as he felt the club was putting his World Cup chances at risk.
He also spoke of a "personal grudge" Benitez has against him and added that the Spanish manager makes little contact with his squad.
Meanwhile, if Liverpool fail to qualify for next season's Champions League it has been reported they will lose upwards of £25 million.
