The agent of Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez has claimed that a Chinese investor wants to buy the club on condition that the Spaniard remains at Anfield.
Benitez's Anfield future has long been the subject of speculation and the Liverpool manager has recently spoken candidly of his frustration at the lack of funds available to strengthen his squad.
Juventus have been strongly rumoured to have offered Benitez the chance to take over as coach of the Turin-based club. The Spaniard is also said to be in the running to take over as Real Madrid coach in the summer.
Benitez's agent, Manuel Garcia Quillon commented in Spanish daily AS, "For now, Madrid has not moved, but Juve will not wait for Benitez forever."
Quillon also said that whether Benitez remains at Liverpool is "subject to fluctuations in their financial situation."
Intriguingly, he added that a Chinese investor is interested in buying the club, but had conditioned the bid on Benitez remaining as Liverpool coach.
Quillon continued, "The Chinese have an interest and called Rafa and told him that their condition for buying the club is that he remains coach."
Liverpool's unpopular American owners, Tom Hicks and George Gillett are actively looking for a buyer, but the process may take some time.
