'Offers from other clubs? I am only talking to Newcastle'

"The only club with which I am speaking is Newcastle", Rafael Benitez confirmed. "I am waiting for a response", he continued.

Benitez is deep in negotiations with the Magpies about a possible renewal. Despite this, it's not clear whether Newcastle want him to stay...

"Honestly, I don't know what will happen", he continued. His idea is to arrive at an agreement with Newcastle, but he does not know if it will be possible. "I am simply waiting for a response", he concluded.

Benitez does want to continue but in order to do this, he needs the confirmation of the board of directors. Just a few days ago he threw them a dart related to signings, Newcastle's biggest fear.

"The final third is where you need to spend 40, 50 or even 75 million on players", he said.
