http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Dirk-Kuyt-c11348, has cast further doubt over his Anfield future claiming that a number of clubs are interested in securing the player’s services.
The Dutch international player is a fan favourite at Anfield with his work ethic, knack of scoring important goals and industry endearing him to the fans. However, the 2011/12 campaign saw Kuyt used sparingly by the manager, with Kuyt not getting as much playing time as he would have liked.
Making just 22 appearances for the club the entire season, Kuyt will be tempted by a move elsewhere. The prospect of regular football will be one that would appeal to the 31-year-old striker-turned-winger and with offers coming in from a number of places, the Dutch international in not short on options.
In a recent interview with a Dutch newspaper, he said, "There are many clubs who are interested. Not only from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Italy-c2926."
As for a fairy tale move back to his former club, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Feyenoord-c39258, it seems that the two would have to wait a few more years before the reunion becomes a possibility. Kuyt admitted that he had spoken to his former employers but that a deal could not be reached.
He said, "I have had several conversations with Feyenoord but we were unable to agree," before continuing "I did not want on my conscience that Feyenoord would have financial problems because of my salary.”
Kuyt’s wage demands may be one of two major factors that will determine whether or not he stays or moves – the other being the promise of regular playing time. As for the Feyenoord deal, Kuyt added, "There were too many doubts on both sides. I've thought about it, but it is not the time to return. "
The Liverpool player has made over 280 appearances for the Merseyside club winning the Carling Cup and appearing in both a Champions League Final and an FA Cup final as well, during his six year spell.
However, the player only has one more year remaining on his contract and with Liverpool currently looking for a new manager, there is no guarantee that the next man in charge will offer the player a contract extension.
