Liverpool in talks to offload midfielders to Spain in return for Argentine defender

Liverpool are in discussions with Spanish side Racing Santander about the possibility of letting Nabil El Zhar and Sabastian Leto join the club on loan. Both El Zhar and Leto are likely to leave the club in the January transfer window until the end of the season and Racing are supposedly very keen on the pair.

El Zhar really made a name for himself during Liverpool's Carling Cup tie with Cardiff City two months ago when he scored a cracker from 25-yards. Leto has figured twice in the Carling Cup for Liverpool and twice in the Champions League.

There is a lot of talk that Liverpool will try and include Racing defender Ezequiel Garay as part of the deal. Garay has been strongly linked with a move to Anfield in recent months and it is taught Benitez will offer Leto and El Zhar and £9 million.
