Benayoun Disillusioned At Anfield


Yossi Benayoun is set to quit Liverpool after becoming disillusioned with life at Anfield.

The Israeli international had a £7million move to Dynamo Moscow blocked in midweek.

But he will seek a summer transfer unless there are changes at the club before the end of the season.

Benayoun signed a new contract extension in July, tying him to the Reds until 2013.

But his relationship with manager Rafa Benitez has become increasingly strained after he was left out of several high-profile fixtures. The midfielder, 29, is currently recovering from a broken rib.

He was given permission to find a new club last season when Dynamo first declared an interest.

But after an agreement was reached, Liverpool changed their mind and said the midfielder was no longer for sale.

That coincided with Benayoun showing sparkling form as the Reds challenged for the title.

Dynamo's renewed bid is a sign Benayoun is still open to offers, although the Anfield outfit insists he is not up for grabs.
