Liverpool have slapped a £10 million price-tag on Chelsea target Yossi Benayoun.

The Daily Mail says 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.
