    Liverpool chief executive Rick Parry has confirmed Benfica winger Simao Sabrosa is a summer transfer target for Rafa Benitez.

    Speaking to Portuguese daily A Bola, Parry revealed Simao's is a name that appears on the Spaniard's shopping list.

    But Parry denied that his club had already held talks with Benfica regarding a transfer.

    Liverpool are expected to spend heavily this summer, but a deal for Simao may involve a swap for out-of-favour Djibril Cisse, the France international who spent last season on loan at Marseille.

    Parry confirmed: "There are players we are interested in and Simao is one. But we have made no contact with Benfica. A swap with Cisse could be a possibility."

    Cisse's agent, Ranko Stojic, refused to rule out the switch but revealed the player's preference would be for a move to either Spain or England.

    "Anything is possible but Djibril's priority is to move to a club in either England or Spain who are in the Champions League," Stojic told A Bola.

    "Liverpool will not be able to decide Cisse's future without the authorisation of the player."

    Stojic's claim puts a question mark against Marseille's bid to finalise a fresh deal for Cisse.
