Yes, I think so. You read that quote out of context. The relevant portion of the article read: "Benitez defended the Spanish forward from allegations he'd flopped on Merseyside, insisting he's had a major input to the first stage of Liverpool's development. "He has contributed a lot since he joined us, butI spoke to him at the end of the season and we agreed if a good Spanish club was interested in him he could talk to them," said Benitez. "Since he joined us he has been a good professional and helped the team a lot." So Rafa was referring to Nando, not Luis.
