Rafa Benitez is considering his future following the second round of talks with the reds temporary chairman Martin Broughton.
Benitez is believed to have told the board that he wants to stay at Anfield but that he must be handed a transfer budget to bring in new players. For the last two seasons, Liverpool have been running a transfer surplus.
It is understood that Rafa has also been seeking assurances that any money raised from player sales will be re-invested in to the squad and not on the reds enormous debt payments.
We understand that Juventus are still waiting in the wings for the outcome of these talks, having promised Rafa Benitez a war-chest to resurrect one of Italy’s most famous football clubs.
