It appears that Barcelona have grown tired of watching bitter enemies Real Madrid hog all the limelight in the transfer market this past week.
The Blaugrana are set to make their first formal approach in the summer trade period after reportedly submitting an enquiry to Liverpool regarding the availability of winger Yossi Benayoun.
According to FourFourTwo.com, sources close to the Israeli international have revealed that Barca officials have also contacted the Reds to request an asking price. It is believed that the Catalans have pin-pointed the 29-year-old as a replacement for squad players Alexander Hleb and Eidur Gudjohnsen, and a possible fall-back plan in case they fail to acquire Franck Ribery.
Benayoun enjoyed a fine season at Anfield last term and he is already being tracked by other clubs such as Atletico Madrid, Villarreal and Manchester City. Although his exact valuation is unknown, it is reported to be around the region of €8 million (₤6.8m).
