Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez has revealed that there is still much uncertainty at Anfield over what form the Reds' summer rebuilding may take after a disappointing campaign.
Benitez's team were knocked out of the Europa League by Atletico Madrid on Thursday evening amidst continuing speculation that Benitez is set to depart the club for Serie A giants Juventus.
With the club also up for sale, it looks there will be a difficult summer to follow a difficult season for the Reds.
"I do not know whether I will have any funds. We will find out in the summer," Benitez told reporters after the game against Ateltico.
"Liverpool is a massive club but there has been a change in the last two or three years. We have had to balance the books and manage in this way.
"Someone said we needed four or five players.
I would more or less agree with that. That is what we have to do."
Benitez also bemoaned his team's luck this season, especially when it came to injuries.
"Everything seems to have been against them this season," he said.
"It is clear that we had some problems. We had too many injuries and were lacking forward options. But the players worked so hard and I am very proud of them."
