Reports from today's Liverpool Echo had indicated that the Reds were close to appointing the La Liga winning coach, but Benitez has been quick to make clear his desire to continue his work in Spain.
Benitez said: "I am in no hurry to go to Inter Milan, Barcelona or Real Madrid, or any other club. I want to stay at Valencia. It's already a big club. It's clear that Benitez is not looking for a team."
