Newcastle United are currently in the process of a potential takeover bid.
Newcastle’s current future is very uncertain, with both Mike Ashley and Benitez waiting for takeover talk to become clearer.
BZG group have suggested publicly that they have an agreement in place to buy Newcastle.
However, the takeover bid does not seem to have edged any closer to completion in recent weeks.
With Benitez’s contract running down, the speculation is doing little to convince the Spanish boss to stay at St. James’ Park.
And the Chronicle says that they have been told that Benitez has not yet been contacted by the group hoping to buy Newcastle.
Benitez has just weeks remaining on his current deal on Tyneside, which has led to concerns rising that he could be about to leave his post.
