Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez will oversee a fringe player clearout this summer.

Benitez knows he must balance the books after missing out on Champions League qualification this season.Mirror says Nabil El Zhar, Philipp Degen, Fabio Aurelio, Damien Plessis and Diego Cavalieri could all be allowed to leave on free transfers or for negligible fees, while Albert Riera will be ushered out of the club as quickly as possible after his bust-up with the manager, again for a fraction of his original cost.
