Benitez’s agent quiet on future

(GSM) – Rafael Benitez’s agent on Wednesday night refused to discuss reports suggesting that the Spaniard is set to leave Liverpool.

Benitez has experienced a dismal 2009/10 season with his team finished only seventh in the Premier League, and suffering early exits from the Champions League, FA Cup and Carling Cup.

And it seems according to several reports, Liverpool have made Benitez an offer to walk away from the club, however there has been no official confirmation.

Agent Manuel Garcia Quilon said: “We don’t know anything more than what’s being said.

“We’re not saying anything.”

The 50-year-old, who signed a five-year contract in March 2009, joined Liverpool in 2004 after a successful spell with Valencia and led the club to Champions League victory in his first season, however the Premier League title has been elusive and Benitez’s team were unable to build on a second-placed finish in the 2008/09 season.

The former Valencia manager has recently been linked with the vacancy at Internazionale, following Jose Mourinho’s move to Real Madrid.
