Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez says finding the right investor is crucial to the club's future.

Matters off the pitch are in the headlines again after global investment firm the Rhone Group made a £100million-plus cash offer for a 40% share in the club, money which would be used to reduce the club's £237million debt by almost half.

Benitez said it was important to get the right deal - and the right investors - for Liverpool.

"My concern is about the future of the club, not one bad season," Benitez told the Liverpool Echo.

"The people who come in have to be the right people for the club.

"We have to take things forward for the good of the club and every day we are working hard."
