Rafa Benitez today insisted he has got enough cash to splash to turn Liverpool into Premier League champions.
The Reds’ summer spending is expected to be dwarfed by a number of their rivals but the Spaniard is in fighting mood – and confident he will land his main transfer targets.
“We knew it could be difficult because there is a crisis all around the world,” he said.
“Clearly we don’t have too much to spend but I think we have enough money to add the one or two players that we need.
“I’m very happy with the squad we’ve got.
“This season has been really good and we’ve competed on all fronts.
“If we can sign one or two players then I’m really positive that we can improve.”
Benitez, who signed a new five-year contract back in March, will celebrate five years as Liverpool manager next week.
He admits he is relishing the challenge of taking the club to the next level.
“When I decided to sign a new contract I did it because Liverpool Football Club is more than a club,” he said.
“It is the heart of the city. It is our life and for the people here it means so much.
“I thought I had to sign. We have to fight. We have to do it.”
