Rafael Benitez has been in the Real Madrid job two hours and already he's being asked about potential summer signings.
And he's admitted he "admires" Liverpool forward Raheem Sterling.
Image source, Getty ImagesWhen asked about the 20-year-old England international, former Reds boss Benitez said: "We admire Raheem, that's no secret - but he is not one of our players so I can't really comment on him."
Sterling, who rejected a new £100,000-a-week contract in April, wants to leave Anfield and has also been linked with a move to Manchester City.

Fifa re-invests the majority of its revenue but it does hold on to a proportion of any profit to create a cash reserve - the reason, they claim, is that it is extremely difficult to find insurance to cover the possible last-minute cancellation of a World Cup.
The value of this reserve has grown sharply in the last decade from $350m (£228.6m) in 2005 to more than $1.5bn (£1bn) in 2014.
The US indictment alleges over $150m (£97m) in corruption during a period of over 20 years. That currently equates to around 10% of the money Fifa has on hand for emergencies.
