Ex-Liverpool boss Benitez to hold Napoli talks despite Newcastle, West Ham interest

Rafael Benitez has revealed he will speak with Napoli at the end of the season regarding his future at the club.

The Spanish manager is being linked with Premier League clubs Newcastle United and West Ham United but suggests that he still has some things to work out with Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis before making a judgment call.

"I've read that the president may not offer a renewal," said the former Liverpool and Chelsea boss.

"I've read that Benitez has already spoken with the team (about leaving). This is not true.

"In a few weeks I'll meet with the president, and we'll discuss what's best for Napoli going forward."
