Maxi Liverpool deal held up by snow

Liverpool's move for Maxi Rodriguez has been held up by dismal weather in the North of England, according to reports from Spain. Maxi will sign for Liverpool for £2.5 million from Atletico Madrid.

Maxi had been looking at a move away from Spain for over six months after falling out of favour at the Vicente Calderon.

Rafa Benitez is desperate to bring in some new faces as he battles to regain Champions League qualification.

At the moment, Liverpool find themselves languishing in seventh.
