Liverpool bid rejected?

Liverpool have reportedly had a bid rejected by Roma for defender Philippe Mexes. Rafa Benitez had been looking to bring in a centre half before Wednesday's transfer deadline and saw Mexes as the ideal candidate. But Roma have rejected the bid, for a player that has caused no small amount of trouble for the Roman club. Signed in controversial circumstances from Auxerre last summer, the move eventually ended with Mexes suspended and Roma handed a transfer ban, which they spent most of the close season appealing.

But it does not seem that Liverpool will return with a better offer preferring to switch their attentions elsewhere.
