Rafa Benitez wants his Liverpool deal extended — as Jurgen Klinsmann waits in the wings for his job.
The Kop boss insists he can still deliver the title to American owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett. Benitez' future was up in the air after a public fall-out with the pair — reminiscent of a Carry On film.
But, after Sunday's peace talks, Rafa wants to stay.
His deal runs for another four years but Benitez said: “I'd like to fulfil my contract and extend it, if possible.
"We are already very close to winning the Premier League. We are now eight points ahead of what we had last year.”
But SunSport has revealed Hicks and Gillett are keen admirers of German legend Klinsmann.
The ex-Spurs star is set to move from California.
And the feeling on Merseyside is that Benitez will probably go in the summer — possibly to Real Madrid.
A source close to Klinsmann told SunSport: “It appears Jurgen will be moving back to Europe and the word is Liverpool are favourites to get him.”
