Parry discusses Benitez rumours

"It goes without saying that we are extremely happy with Rafa and want him to stay," said the chief executive. "We are working on a shared vision of sustained success on the pitch.

"Bringing trophies back to Anfield is all we are concerned with. Without underestimating the size of the challenge, we are very confident we can achieve that aim together.

"There's a tremendous opportunity facing us and a great opportunity for Rafa to fulfil his burning ambitions here."
