Inter Milan deny making approach for Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez
• Serie A club dismiss claims they have contacted Benitez
• Jose Mourinho expected to quit for Real Madrid in summer
Inter Milan have denied reports they have approached Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez about the possibility of replacing Jose Mourinho.
Mourinho has been linked with a summer move to Real Madrid, should the Spanish club part company with Manuel Pellegrini, and will make a decision on his future after Saturday’s Champions League final against Bayern Munich.
He told Marca: “My only options are Madrid or Inter. To get me to leave this club after two years of incredible work, only Real Madrid could achieve that. If I go, I will move with a clear conscience having changed the club.”
Asked about Benitez, Inter sporting director Marco Branca told Sky Italia: “We absolutely have had no contact with Benitez. Our coach is Jose Mourinho.”
Benitez has also been linked with the Juventus job in recent months but the Turin giants are set to appoint former Sampdoria coach Luigi Del Neri this week.
