Rafa still waiting for verdict on his £50m transfer targets from Liverpool owners

Rafa Benitez is ready to press Liverpool's owners for an answer on his transfer budget after lining up over £50million-worth of targets but fearing he will be denied the funds to bring them all to Anfield.

The Liverpool manager wants to pursue his interest in Valencia pair David Villa and David Silva, as well as Aston Villa's England midfielder Gareth Barry, but has yet to receive any signal from co-owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett that their improving relationship will lead to more cash being made available

Target: David Villa
