Benitez and Liverpool officials to hold talks

Rafael Benitez has revealed he will hold talks with club officials in regards to his future at Liverpool.

There has been a huge amount of speculation about the Spaniard's next step in his managerial career and although nothing has yet been sorted, Benitez is expecting plenty of discussions with chairman Martin Broughton to ensure the correct decision is made.

"I was in a meeting with the chairman and he was talking about how positive it was and I expect to meet with him again in the next week," said Benitez.

"I expect to see the chairman and keep talking with him. I showed my commitment for years (he has four years of his contract remaining).

"It would never be easy to leave this club. Every day you can read something different.

"It has always been the same situation: I decided to come here because of the fans and the club.

"I wanted to stay and I would like to stay if everything is fine.

"And IF I stay I am not thinking about selling Gerrard and Torres - just in case 'senior sources' say different things.

"It is very clear. The chairman was clear, he doesn't want to sell. The manager is clear, just in case you see any exclusive interviews with senior sources."
