From The Times 30th June 2008
It remains to be seen, though, how high Liverpool will be forced to go to get their man and with money alarmingly tight at Anfield this summer, there is no appetite for a dramatically increased offer. Liverpool’s precise financial situation remains unclear, but, facing annual interest bills in the region of £30 million as a result of a £350 million refinancing deal in January, BenÍtez has been left in no doubt by Tom Hicks and George Gillett Jr, the club’s American owners, that he must sell players to raise funds for reinforcements such as Barry, David Silva, the Spain and Valencia midfield player, and Andrea Dossena, the Udinese left back, who will join Liverpool for £7 million this week.
