Liverpool make move to sign Bellamy

LIVERPOOL have made a formal £6 million (€8.8m) bid for Blackburn striker Craig Bellamy. Manager Rafael Benitez has made his move to test the validity of a supposed exit clause which can be activated by an offer of that amount.

Benitez is keen to find more firepower for his side and Bellamy certainly fits the bill after an impressive season with Rovers in which he scored 17 times.

The 25-year-old Wales striker would add a cutting edge to a forward line which has already lost Fernando Morientes and Djibril Cisse.
