Roma are reported to be lining up a move for
Liverpool midfielder Yossi Benayoun, skysports.com
understands.
Benayoun's future at Liverpool has been the subject of
speculation all summer with a number of clubs keen on signing
him.
Manchester City and Benayoun's former club West Ham are thought
to be tracking the Israeli schemer and now Roma have joined the
chase for the 28-year-old.
Reports have suggested Liverpool may be prepared to sacrifice
Benayoun after Rafa Benitez admitted he would have to sell before
he can buy again this summer.
Roma chief Luciano Spalletti is in the market for a new
attacking midfielder after seeing Amantino Mancini leave for Inter
Milan and he is thought to be an admirer of Benayoun.
Should Roma follow up their interest with a firm move for the
player, Liverpool could decide to cash-in on Benayoun to enable
them to raise funds for the signing of Gareth Barry.
