Reds deny Rafa Real deal

LIVERPOOL chief executive Rick Parry has quickly quashed more rumours linking manager Rafael Benitez with a switch to struggling Real Madrid.

The Spanish giants were reportedly lining up Benitez, a former youth coach at the Bernabeu, as a replacement for under-pressure Wanderley Luxemburgo.

“We are extremely happy with Benitez and want him to stay,” Parry told the club’s official website.
