The agent of Rafael Benitez has insisted the former Liverpool manager will go on holiday before deciding his future as rumours link Inter Milan with a bid.

Benitez, 50, left Anfield by mutual consent for a £6 million severance fee. Reports had stated Inter are keen on bringing him to the San Siro to replace Jose Mourinho.

Speaking to Calciomercato.it, Manuel Garcia Quilon said Benitez would not race in to any decision, and denied suggestions he was in Italy to iron out a deal.

"I spoke with Rafa. Now he'll go on holiday with his family," Quilon revealed.

"For the next few days he's not thinking about the future, when there is nothing in his plans.

"I am in Italy? No, I'm working in Madrid, we are very committed."
