While Liverpool rebuild, Uefa are working out how to let them defend the cup, writes Denis Campbell.

Sunday May 29, 2005

By the time Liverpool start their campaign in August they will have made several key changes to their playing squad. Rafael Benítez is resisting the temptation to rest on the laurels of Istanbul and is already preoccupied with the task of giving his European champions a new spine so they can mount a serious challenge next season to Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester United in the Premiership. A goalkeeper, a central defender, one or two midfielders and at least one striker are his priorities, and some initial moves have been made to bring in the four, five or six players he wants.

Liverpool are also keen on Feyenoord's free-scoring forward Dirk Kuyt to bolster a front line that will feature Djibril Cissé and Fernando Morientes, who will be free to play in Europe next season, having been ineligible after his £6.3 million move from Real Madrid in January. Dutchman Kuyt, 24, has scored 22 goals in 33 league games this season. Feyenoord's valuation of £10m may prove too much for Benítez, despite having a transfer kitty of some £25m.

José Reina, the Villarreal goalkeeper, is likely to replace Jerzy Dudek, despite the Pole's match-winning performance last Wednesday. If Dudek returns to Feyenoord, his former club, as is rumoured, that could help facilitate Kuyt's arrival at Anfield.
