Liverpool to offload goalkeeper after Hillsborough disrespect
London - Liverpool will redouble their efforts to offload goalkeeper Charles Itandje after he was caught on camera laughing during Wednesday's Hillsborough memorial service.
Members of the congregation afterwards complained about Itandje's behaviour, with various reports suggesting manager Rafa Benitez was furious with the French goalkeeper's attitude.
The service was held at Anfield on Wednesday to commemorate the twentieth anniversary of the tragedy that led to the deaths of 96 Liverpool fans at an FA Cup semi-final.
Liverpool officials have described Itandje's behaviour as "wholly unacceptable" and he is unlikely to play for the club again.
Itandje has made seven first-team appearances since joining Liverpool on a free transfer from Lens in 2007, but has not started a senior game since the FA Cup defeat by Barnsley last season.
Attempts to offload the 26 year old last summer stumbled over Itandje's personal demands.
He has two years remaining on his contract. (dpa)
