HAMBURG KEEN ON DIDI
Paul Eaton 22 February 2005
Bundesliga outfit Hamburg have admitted they could make a move for Didi Hamann - despite the German star being poised to sign a new deal at Anfield.
Hamann is out of contract at the end of the season and is reportedly ready to agree a one year extension to keep him on Merseyside.
But Hamburg coach Thomas Doll will watch him in action against Bayer Leverkusen tonight before deciding whether to make a move for the Liverpool midfielder.
He said: "Hamann is an established player in the Premier League and is out of contract at the end of the season. We will take a look at him to get a better picture."
Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez, meanwhile, is expecting Hamann to stay with the Reds.
He said: "We are just waiting for him now. We have made him the offer and we're just waiting for his agent to get back to us. I hope he will sign within the next few days."
