Newcastle chief ready to weigh up offers from Spain

Newcastle United manager Rafa Benitez will reportedly listen to offers from elsewhere before he commits to managing the Magpies next season.

According to Spanish news outlet Marca, the Newcastle boss is ready to see what Real Sociedad are willing to offer ahead of the summer as speculation begins to surround his future at St James’ Park.

Benitez has done a tremendous job with Newcastle, helping them back to the Premier League and also effectively cementing their position in the division ahead of next season.

However, if Marca are to be believed, La Liga outfit Real Sociedad have made appointing Benitez their priority in the summer and are prepared to offer the ex-Liverpool boss a deal.

Benitez has often reiterated his commitment to the cause at St James’ Park but a move back to his homeland of Spain is cited as a genuine possibility by the report.

Despite this, however, it’s believed that Benitez is planning as normal for next season at Newcastle.
