Rafa admits he must sell to fund Barry deal

RAFAEL BENITEZ has confirmed he must sell again to bring Gareth Barry to Liverpool after completing the £20.3million (€25.7m) signing of Republic of Ireland striker Robbie Keane.

The Reds manager insists that is what he aims to do, but he has no intention of selling Spain international Alvaro Arbeloa.

Liverpool are believed to have had a £7m (€8.9m) bid from Sevilla for the 25-year-old, but Benitez has made it clear the player is going nowhere, despite speculation the defender wants to return to Spain for personal reasons.
