Amid much speculation over the future of want-away midfield maestro Yossi Benayoun, Liverpool insisted Tuesday that they had yet to receive a formal bid for the Israeli.
“There has been no approach from any club for Yossi Benayoun,” a club spokesman was quoted as saying by the Liverpool Echo.
Earlier Tuesday, the Daily Mail reported that Liverpool was set to demand £10 million for Benayoun in a bid to ward off Chelsea.
According to the newspaper, Liverpool coach Rafa Benitez is desperate to keep Benayoun away from the Premier League champions, and would rather sell him abroad.
Russian side Spartak Moscow has reportedly prepared a £6-million bid, although Benayoun is believed to favour a transfer to Chelsea.
The Guardian reported Monday that Chelsea had already had a £4-million bid for Benayoun turned down.
The Israeli enjoyed another solid season at Liverpool, scoring nine goals in 42 appearances.
His contract expires at the end of the 2012/2013 season.
