Joaquin to wait until summer

Rafael Benitez is keen to strengthen his squad when the transfer window reopens in the New Year but it appears that we'll have to wait a little longer for one of his targets.

"At this time, leaving Real Betis to go to Liverpool or any other team isn't going through my mind," admitted Joaquin. "I will end the season in Spain and afterwards decide what to do.

"Rumours about my transfer to England have been spoken about too much. Every season I'm changing my club - Man Utd, Chelsea and now Liverpool - but I'm still here in Seville.
"English football is spectacular and Liverpool are the European champions, but I'm yet to come to the point where I want to play outside of Spain for sporting or personal reasons."
