Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez
reiterated his commitment to the Premier League club on Sunday
after media reports in Italy linked him with a move to Juventus.
"I have a long-term contract with Liverpool and I'll repeat
what I said on Friday, that I am happy here and my only focus is
to do my job as well as I can to get the team back into the top
four," Benitez said in a statement on the club's website.
"Contrary to reports in the Italian media this weekend, I
want to make it absolutely clear I have no agreement with
Juventus and have not and will not be meeting Juventus or their
representatives or any other club."
Benitez has been under increasing pressure at Liverpool with
the team effectively out of contention for the Premier League
and knocked out of the Champions League, FA Cup and League Cup.
