Inter Milan in shock bid for Benitez
June 1st, 2010 - 1:29 pm ICT by ANIMilan, June 1(ANI): Italian football giants Inter Milan have reportedly established contacts with Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez.
Inter Milan made their move at the weekend, just when everyone thought they were chasing England manager Fabio Capello.
“Inter have been happy for everyone to think they want Capello as it’s taken everyone’s attention away from Benitez,” The Sun quoted an Italian source, as saying.
The Italian team hopes to cash in on the uncertainty over Benitez’s position as Liverpool manager, as it is being speculated that Capello wants to see out his England contract until after Euro 2012.
“Benitez is a manager I have always considered very good, but for the moment he is engaged,” Inter Milan President Massimo Moratti said.
Benitez, who has also been courted by Juventus, plans to hold more talks over his future at Anfield amid growing speculation they will part company following the Kop’s worst season since 1999. (ANI)
