From Teamtalk and also in the mail:

Italian giants Inter Milan will try to lure Rafael Benitez away from Liverpool with the promise of a £50million warchest at the San Siro.

The Nerazzurri are currently second in Serie A but trail leaders Juventus by 12 points following last weekend's 2-1 defeat to Fabio Capello's men.

And this is not good enough for Inter supremo Massimo Moratti, who is now ready to show coach Roberto Mancini the door unless he can win the Champions League.

They face Ajax next week in the first knockout stages and defeat would signal the end of his two-year reign at the San Siro.

The Corriere dello Sport claim that Benitez is highly regarded in Italy - having steered the Reds to Champions League glory last season - and is one of the front-runners for the post along with PSV Eindhoven coach Guus Hiddink and Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger.

And an Inter source told the Daily Mirror: "Benitez has already proved he is a top manager in Spain and England and Inter believe he can now do the same in Italy.

"Winning the European Cup against Milan [with Liverpool] will make him immediately popular with Inter fans.

"And his achievements with Valencia, where he twice won the title over Real Madrid and Barcelona, proves he has real pedigree."

Load of rubbish, won't happen.

Rafa is here long term.

And why would he be tempted by £50 million to spend on players (he's already spent nearly double that at Liverpool).

I can't stand the press in this country

Why do u post such bullshits when u know Rafa's never going anywhere in the near future.Atleast not for next 2-3 seasons I beleive.

[Dundalk]

Wont happen, the only quote is from a "source"??

A load of !

[RAFABENITEZ]

50 million to make Inter top?
theyve spent over 500 million in the last 15 years, so how will 50 million change things?
Rafa will never leave.

must be a slow news day

The Inter job is a poisoned chalice. Its true you get paid a nice wage, have loads of money to spend, but you have a madcap owner interferring and demanding results.............perfect job for Sven Goran Erickson.

[Boocity]

If he has said no to Real Madrid, why would he go to Inter

[inglis5]

Anyone noticed how there are always transfer rumours about key Liverpool players (or the manager) before every big game we play. As I said, I can't stand the vast majority of the British press...

[Paul C]

I know Rafa is totally commited to LFC and would never sh!t on us but it's news so I thought I'd post it.

totally agree,moratti is a idiot,he makes florentino perez look like choir boy,no manager with any sense would manage a team with him as owner of inter,the money inter have spent and for so little to show for it shows it is a bad run club thats leads all the way up to moratti interferance and regular sacking of managers
