Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez is not looking at joining another club or walking out of Liverpool, in fact he is looking at strengthening the team for next season and has targeted the Real Madrid duo of Guti and Royston Drenthe as possible acquisitions for the Anfield outfit.
Guti would be available on a free come the end of the season and even at the age of 33 is still wanted by quite a few clubs including Tottenham and now Liverpool, Benitez knows what Guti is capable of and would not hesitate in offering Guti a rolling contract at Liverpool.
Drenthe on the other hand at 23 is seen as a more long term option, he is equally good with both feet and can play either defence or midfield and he would bring the sort of versatility that Benitez is looking for. Drenthe is returning from injury and in terms of timing it could not be better for Benitez.
Drenthe would not come too cheap but neither would he come at a premium, he is unhappy at Real Madrid and still effected by the booing he has received, his best friend is Ryan Babel and it would not be a huge surprise to see Drenthe end up a Liverpool player next season.
