Real Madrid are again being linked with Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez.

The Mail on Sunday says it is inconceivable that Benitez, who once coached the Real Madrid youth team, will not be approached.

Should the chaos that currently surrounds the club see Benitez leaving, it would surely also mean the eventual departure of key players Fernando Torres, Javier Mascherano and Xabi Alonso, as well as a host of Spanish-speaking squad members, undermining the structure of the club.
