Napoli to request Liverpool defender on loan next month

Napoli are set to return to Liverpool again as they look to strengthen their defence by looking to take Daniel Agger on loan until May.

The Partenopei already have goalkeeper Pepe Reina on loan until the end of the season from the Reds although Rafael Cabral has started more of late.

The Daily Mail are reporting that Napoli, who have kept just one clean sheet in their last six games, would like to take him on loan until the end of the campaign as they look to add depth and quality for their Europa League campaign too.

However, the Danish star did claim a few weeks ago that he does want to stay at Anfield and fight for the starting spot that he is no longer guaranteed.

Agger, 29, has made seven starts for the Reds in the Permier League this season as they have continued to rise up the table.
