Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard believes that Newcastle manager Rafa Benitez could leave the club soon if his transfer demands are not met during the January transfer window.
The Magpies have been on a recent run of poor form and Benitez recently said that he is looking to get new players into the team in January in order to boost their chances of survival this season.
The club’s owner Mike Ashley has often been criticized for failing to invest enough money in new players and Gerrard who worked under Benitez at Liverpool believes that the Spanish manager could leave the club if he is not granted sufficient capital to make squad investments.
“It wouldn’t surprise me if he walked at that moment,” said Gerrard on the Premier League Tonight show on BT Sport 1 on Saturday evening (8:25pm, December 23, 2017) when asked what Benitez could do if his transfer demands are not made by January 20.
