Rumour Mill: Inter in for Benitez

Last updated : 05 March 2006 By Adam Bryant
The Liverpool manager has regularly been linked with a move to Real Madrid since guiding the Reds to their fifth European Cup success last season, and will continue to be linked with a move to the Bernabau.

According to the Sunday Times... Inter have contacted Benitez’s camp to sound out his availability. While he ignored the approach, just as he has done with those so far made by Real, Liverpool’s financial struggles will encourage both clubs to make further overtures.

Apparently it is not the lure of a pay rise that may tempt Benitez, but the assurance of a bigger transfer fund - something that he has insisted he needs to take Liverpool to the next level.
