Playing hardball: Liverpool want £10m for Yossi
Benayoun
Liverpool will demand £10million from Chelsea for Yossi Benayoun
in a bid to put them off a move for the Israeli.
Sportsmail revealed
Chelsea's interest last month but, despite needing cash for
players, manager Rafa Benitez does not want to sell to their main
rivals and would prefer Benayoun to move abroad with another
£6million offer already on the table from Spartak Moscow.
The problem for Benitez is that Benayoun, 30, wants the move to
Chelsea and will push for a deal to be done.
Aston Villa have also shown interest as they weigh up possible
replacements for Manchester City target James Milner.
Ironically, Milner is a player that Benitez would like to sign
but can't afford with his current budget.
