A host of Liverpool players will seek to leave the club in the January transfer window, an agent has claimed.
ESPN Soccernet quotes an unnamed agent of one of Liverpool's 'stars' as saying Rafa Benitez is in danger of losing the dressing room.
"The atmosphere is really bad," the agent said following the club's midweek exit from the Champions League. "There are a lot of unhappy players around."
When asked if some of the aggrieved players would seek moves out of Anfield, despite the difficulties associated with January transfers, the agent said: "I am sure that there will be some players who would like to move on now, that's for sure."
Liverpool crashed out of the Champions League this week despite beating Debrecen 1-0 in Hungary.
Their fate was sealed as Fiorentina beat Lyon; consigning Liverpool to the Europa League as the Reds failed to reach the knockout stages of the Champions League for the first time since Benitez joined the club.
The Spaniard has been backed by the club's owners and is just five months into a five-year contract.
Defeat against Everton in the Merseyside derby at Goodison Park this Sunday will raise more doubts about his long-term future at the club, however.
Liverpool are currently in seventh place in the league and in danger of missing out on qualification for the Champions League next season given the ominous form of Tottenham Hotspur, Aston Villa and Manchester City above them.
