Benitez: Reds must sell to buy

Soccer Betting Lines

04/28/2009 - Liverpool, England (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez has revealed he will have to fund any summer transfer deals by selling current members of his Anfield squad.

The Reds have been linked with a series of raids to land several leading stars from across Europe - including Valencia's Spain striker David Villa and Aston Villa and England midfielder Gareth Barry.

However, Benitez has admitted that any deals will need to be funded by departures as the Anfield coffers are not currently awash with transfer funds.

That news brings into doubt the futures of fringe squad members Ryan Babel, Andrea Dossena and Philipp Degen.

"More or less I will have an idea of how much we will have to spend," said Benitez. "I think we'd have to sell players to increase the money we'll need, but at the moment we're not talking about names and money.

"We are working on targets and we will try to do things as quickly and cheaply as possible. Every year it is important to sign good players, the right players.

"We know we have better players than before and it will be difficult to find better players than we have now. But we are working very hard during the season, looking for and watching players. We will be ready."
