Afellay opens door to Liverpool move

Press reports suggest a number of Serie A's biggest clubs are vying for the signature of PSV's attacking midfielder Ibrahim Afellay alongside Rafa Benitez's Liverpool.

The Dutchman's agent Rob Jansen has suggested that the player's future is uncertain which will only increase speculation that the player will be on his way to Anfield at the end of the season.

Jansen told Sportweek: "The contract between Ibrahim and PSV expires in June 2011, so we are not in a hurry to renew.

"We decided to take it easy and think carefully before signing any renewal.

"Ibrahim is very happy with what he is doing at PSV and so it is possible that he will stay in Eindhoven.

"But he could also decide to move abroad. At the moment I cannot say anything else. We will see how the situation develops."

The talented 23-year-old has also been linked to a number of Premier League clubs in the past with Arsenal thought to be very keen prior to the arrival of Andrey Arshavin which ended that interest. Liverpool are certainly looking to add more width and quality to their squad although failure to qualify for the Champions League will scupper their hopes as Afellay is in high demand despite a relatively low-key season for PSV.
