  Liverpool Scare Off Inter Milan With £8 Million Lucas Leiva Valuation - Report

  Liverpool have slapped an £8 million price-tag on defensive midfielder Lucas Leiva in an attempt to prevent their former manager Rafael Benitez taking him to Inter Milan.

  According to the People, both Panathinaikos and Palermo have already had bids rejected by the Reds, but with Benitez a big supporter of the Brazil international he could find himself following his former manager to the San Siro this summer.
  
  Benitez signed Lucas during his six year spell at Anfield and stood by the former Gremio man when he was singled out for abuse from supporters following some poor individual performances.
  
  Liverpool are said to be attempting to raise much needed funds for new manager Roy Hodgson to rebuild the side before next season, and the selling spree could begin with Lucas.
  
  However, the Merseysiders will not want to lose Lucas, who made 32 Premier League starts last season, on the cheap and look set to be holding out for a big offer before offloading their unsettled star.

  Inter's destruction has begun!

  They already have 2 good defensive midfielders in Cambiasso and Motta and he wants to bring in Lucas? I wonder how the Inter fans are reacting.

  actually guys, rafael is saving liverpool, he still belong to us afterall. he left us so as to give us cash and take away all those unwanted players. he's playing the good 'bad guy' role.
