The press have reported that Real Madrid are to make a £20m bid for Steven Gerrard in the summer with Guti coming the other way as part of the deal. However, Rafael Benitez has laughed off the suggestion.

He said: "The situation with Steven remains the same. He has two more years to run on his contract and we want him to stay.
 
"I have read reports from Spain today that we will sell him to Madrid if they give us Guti. That is not true. Guti is a good player but we do not want him."
