Rafa Benitez would not put obstacles in the way of Gerrard leaving

The key for Steve Gerrard leaving Liverpool and signing for Real Madrid lies with Rafa Benitez, the trainer of the 'reds'. He is the man that that would not put any obstacle in the way of the captain leaving.

Sources at the English club have confirmed that Rafa Benitez wants to make a new project, in his second season at Liverpool, now that he knows the Premier League better, and signs various players to stablise the squad. Liverpool need money to satisfy the requests that Benitez is making and the trainer would have said to the club that the road is free for the sale of Gerrard. For the player Liverpool would be able to make great 'cash'.

Rafa Benitez, after wining the Champions League in an epic final against Milan, has all the confidence of the club to make the decisions of building a squad to his liking. His objective is to make a competitive team and aspires to win the Premier League, something that the club demands of him and the fans.

In England, the communications media point out that Benitez does not want big stars in his team but rather players of 'medium clbutt' that make the team solid. It is the formula with which he triumphed in Valencia and that he can now implement in Liverpool. For this reason, Gerrard would be able to leave the English club. Benitez also is interested in footballers of the Madrid squad and within them is Guti.
