EPL - Benitez: We need to spend £60m

Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez has hinted Liverpool may need to spend as much as £60 million in the summer if they are to challenge for the Premier League title next season.

The club were expected to make a concerted bid for the title this season but have endured a painfully below-par campaign that finds them in sixth place and 19 points adrift of leaders Chelsea.

Benitez believes the club must buy at least three new players in the summer to reinvigorate his squad and admits he will need to sell some of his squad to fund their arrival.

The Spaniard's only major purchase last summer was the £20 million he spent on Alberto Aquilani, who has struggled with injury since arriving at Anfield, and he admits he needs more star players in his squad.
