Rafa Benítez says he will not be looking to sell Xabi Alonso if Gareth Barry arrives at Anfield this summer.

The future of midfielder Alonso has been thrown into doubt after Benitez recently revealed he was keen to secure the signature of Aston Villa captain Barry.


Juventus have become the latest club to be linked with a move for Alonso, who joined Liverpool from Real Sociedad for £10.5million in 2004, while Real Madrid and Barcelona are also thought to be admirers.


However, Benitez has rubbished speculation that he is looking to offload the Spanish international.


"(Alonso) is our player, he has a contract," Benitez said in The Independent.


"Barry can play in three different positions, so I don't think we need to worry about this."
If true then Rafa is not fit to manage this football club

However I dont believe we would sign Barry and not sell Alonso when its so obvious we need to spend our money on quality wide players.

I am not going to let this specualtion upset me but I will be very upset if Rafa fucks up in the transfer market this summer
