  FLORENT MALOUDA signed a four-year contract with Chelsea yesterday — then lifted the lid on behind-the-scenes conflict at Liverpool.
  
  The France winger was a target for both clubs this summer.
  
  But Malouda, 27, revealed Kop boss Rafa Benitez lacked backing for his bid to take him to Anfield.
  
  He said: “I had people from Liverpool on the phone, especially the manager.
  
  “But I had the feeling there was only him who really wanted me. I have always said that the most important thing in my view was to go to a club where everyone agreed about me.”
  
  Malouda, who cost Blues £13.5million from Lyon, added: “What Chelsea had to say was clear from the start.
  
  “I had also been as a spectator several times to see them play — and I always liked what I saw.
  
  “The manager, too, really wanted me. I had Jose Mourinho on the phone several times once Chelsea had been given the green light by Lyon to talk with me.
  
  “The most important thing was to feel this desire to sign me.
  
  “After that, I think the level of play suits me fairly well, too.”
