DANIEL AGGER has snubbed a new four-year Liverpool deal worth £10million.
The Dane is understood to be want better terms but it's unclear if Liverpool will improve their offer while the club's American owners try to sort out their financial situation.
That may push Agger, 24, towards a summer exit with Juventus and AC Milan leading the chase.
Benitez was also eager to tie down full-back Alvaro Arbeloa but he's under orders to wait.
Owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett are in talks with the Royal Bank of Scotland over how to manage their £350m debt.
The Americans met bankers this week and were given the blunt options facing them ahead of July's repayment deadline.
They must either pay off a large chunk of the debt, or pledge more equity into the club to agree a further refinancing deal.
