Manchester City have made a £6m offer for Yossi Benayoun, all but ending West Ham's hopes of re-signing the Israel midfielder.
Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez must sell before making another bid for Aston Villa midfielder Gareth Barry, and the opportunity of a £1m profit on Benayoun could be too good to reject.
Benitez said: 'We're still trying to sign players, and if we have to sell someone we will do so.'
Hammers boss Alan Curbishley asked about Benayoun but is unlikely to match City's bid.
utusanLFC :well... Benayoun surely played well for West Ham, in particular during the epic FA Final in Cardiff 2006. May be because that team is small and he' s role there seems to be magnified. But in Liverpool, there are many many big players and he is dwarf... I can't help but feeling sorry for him. Benayoun is good. He gives the team an option in attacks as he loves to go forward and never hesitate to penetrate any defence. Unfortunately, when Rafa experimenting with Kuyt on the right, that slot which was once owned by Gerrard, seems to be owned by Kuyt for good. I don't know. I have a mixed feeling about this. If LFC retain his service, it is still good. And if not, I won't cry baby over it. hmmm....
