Real Madrid could put Morientes’ Anfield move on hold

REAL MADRID could block Fernando Morientes’ switch to Liverpool if new coach Wanderley Luxemburgo decides he wants to keep the striker.

Morientes appeared to be on the verge of leaving, with Ronaldo, Raul and Michael Owen ahead of him in the squad.

But his agent Gines Carvajal said: “The Real Madrid president (Florentino Perez) has asked us to wait as he wants to know what the new coach decides. We should have confirmation of his decision by next week.”
