Real deny Figo offer
July 8, 2005
Real Madrid have denied receiving an offer from Liverpool for Luis Figo, but confirmed that there have been talks between the two clubs.
Figo's agent has claimed that a deal has already been struck between the player and Liverpool.
"Real Madrid have not received an official offer from Liverpool for Luis Figo," said Garcia-Ferreras.
"It's true that Luis Figo or his agent have been holding talks with Liverpool but there has been no offer for Figo from Liverpool."
However, a stumbling block was thought to be Real's insistence on receiving a £2 million fee for the Portuguese international.
It is also being reported that Figo is willing to take a salary cut to facilitate the move, but the fee may still present a problem for Liverpool.
