Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez has laughed off reports he's moving for Bayern Munich star Franck Ribery.

Bookies slashed the odds on 26-year-old French midfielder Ribery swapping Bayern Munich for Merseyside after a run of bets.

But Benitez said: "I will be really pleased if we can keep this squad together because I don't think we need to do too many things.

"I don't think we'll be signing anyone else for big, big money, just maybe the ones who can fit into our team.

"Right now we are just thinking of improving the fitness of the players, not thinking about the transfer market. We have the quality there and we will have our chances again."
