Benitez said: "He has not signed for Liverpool yet, so he is still not our player. Hopefully in a few hours he will be."
"He's a versatile defender. He can play centre-half or right-back. It's good to have players who can play in different positions."
"The problem is always the agents of the players. I don't understand why they delay things. I think the player wants to come here, but we have to wait and see what happens."
