Liverpool told: €24m is price for ex-Man City man

Espanyol insist Albert Riera's release clause must be met for him to move to Anfield

"He already knows what the price is if he wants to leave," president Daniel Sanchez Llibre told Spanish newspaper El Mundo Deportivo.

"Albert is clear on where he stands and what needs to be paid for him for us to allow him to leave."

The former Manchester City loanee has made it clear that he wants to return to England but Liverpool must now decide if the winger really is worth what they will have to pay.

"At the moment we haven't received received any offer and if nothing comes, whether he likes it or not, he'll have to stay because he is an Espanyol player," added Llibre.

thats a lot of cash for him, he must have had a fecking brilliant season

do we still have the contract saying we can buy him for £3m? check the small print, if it just says "after the loan has expired" we can take advantage and make a profit as a go between.

Mary Poppins that's crazy! He was a decent player, i would have been content for us to pay the £5m or whatever it was that we needed to buy him, but £24m is taking the piss

If he's that good, then why didn't he make it into the Euro 2008 squad?

he blames his teams poor season, which is a bit rich - if the team had a bad year - he's partly to blame

i bought him for 2.5mill on fifa 08, twas a snip

They have obviously been snorting something over there. This guy was terrible when on loan to us a few years back. We wouldnt even pay the £2 million to make the loan move permanent.

HAve they lost their f***** minds ?

Saw him when Espanyol were in the UEFA Cup Final, and he didn't look too bad. It only equates to around... Fuck... £15mill, fuck that!!!

a decent player, but a bit lazy. not worth that kinda money though. Maybe in the current market about £5m.

sweet left foot but doesnt have the pace, strength or determination to be a top player.

id pay 8mill for him but not a penny more, i watched alot of espanyol last year and he was fucking ace for them. has come along leaps and bounds since his city days. just like DVB
