Rafael Benitez Still Uncertain How Much Cash Liverpool Can Spend This Summer


Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez does not know yet whether he will have money to spend in the transfer market this summer after meetings with new Reds chairman Martin Broughton.

Broughton, a man brought in to oversee the sale of the club, has apparently informed Benitez that his kitty is dependent on how many players the Reds can sell this summer.

"I have had a couple of meetings with the new chairman to clarify the situation," the Spaniard told reporters in Madrid.

"We need to know how much money we have, and that also depends on (player) sales."

Meanwhile, following another attack on his management style from Reds outcast Albert Riera, Benitez insisted that his communication with his players worked well and he was not aloof as Riera had claimed.

"It is a lie that I don’t talk to the players," he asserted.

"He [Riera] made a mistake in an interview and I have witnesses and video of something that I will not count."
