Rafa Benitez has still not received any offers from Juventus or any other club and wants to stay at Anfield, the Liverpool FC manager's agent claims.
Speculation in England and Italy has linked Benitez to a move to Turin and the 50-year-old is believed to be the number one candidate to succeed coach Alberto Zaccheroni this summer.
Benitez is also a reported target of Real Madrid, but his agent has insisted the Spaniard does not intend to leave Liverpool FC.
"We have not received any offers from any club," Manuel Garcia Quilon said on Tuesday.
"Benitez’s aim is to remain at Liverpool and try to help the team improve with new owners.
"He is under contract and his wish is to remain at Liverpool."
Benitez, who is under contract at Anfield until June 2014, has a meeting scheduled with new Liverpool FC chairman Martin Broughton this week to discuss the plans being put in place for next season.
Broughton, the chairman of British Airways, has been brought in by co-owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett to oversee the sale of the club.
Last weekend’s 2-0 home defeat to Chelsea ended Liverpool FC’s hopes of playing in the Champions League next season.
Juve will also miss out on playing in Europe’s elite club competition as they have no chance of finishing in the top four in Serie A.
