Midfielder Yossi Benayoun has added to the growing uncertainty at Liverpool by admitting he does not know if he has a future at Anfield.[LNB] Speculation has long linked manager Rafael Benitez with Juventus and the Reds boss refused to clarify his own future after Sunday's final home match of the season, a 2-0 defeat to leaders Chelsea.[LNB]Benitez, who only signed a new five-year deal 14 months ago, has tied a number of players to long-term deals, but Benayoun is not one of them and he was linked with a move away in January.[LNB]The Israeli would like to finish his career at Anfield but accepts the final decision may not be his.[LNB]"It's very difficult to speak now about next season," said Benayoun.[LNB]"We don't know what changes there will be [in the] players, the staff so I think it's too early to speak.[LNB]"I don't know personally even if I will be here or I will not be here.[LNB]"A lot of things can happen, so we have to wait and see."[LNB]Uncertainty at boardroom level - co-owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett have put the club up for sale - is filtering down through Benitez to the players.[LNB]"Liverpool is a great club and I enjoy it but a lot of things are happening in this moment," added Benayoun.[LNB]"If it depended on me, I would stay here and retire in Liverpool.[LNB]"The fans are the best in the world but it depends on a lot of things. It will be very clear soon."
