Liverpool coach Rafael Benitez has hinted he may leave the Anfield side if he feels the club does not have a long-term project to compete with Manchester United.
The Spaniard has been stalling for months on signing a new contract - his current deal runs out next year - but says he will decide where his future lies by the end of this month.
'I must decide on my future in the next two weeks and I want a medium or long-term project,' he told The Sun newspaper.
'I don't want to be working from day to day always hanging on the latest result. I will work where I feel I can develop a project.'
However, having been linked with a return to Real, where he has served as assistant manager and youth team coach, Benitez admitted that his homeland was not necessarily the most attractive proposition.
'What I want is hard to find in Spain. Long-term projects do not exist, not like they do in England.'
