No bids received yet as Yossi Benayoun eyes move away from Liverpool FC

Yossi BenayounLIVERPOOL insist they have received no approach for Yossi Benayoun - but the midfielder looks set to leave Anfield this summer.Reports claiming the Reds have rejected a £4million bid for the Israeli from Chelsea are wide of the mark.However, the Premier League champions are interested in the 30-year-old and Benayoun has made no secret of his desire to move to Stamford Bridge.Benayoun, who signed a new four-year deal last summer, was mysteriously left out of Liverpool's squad for the final game of the season at Hull City.A switch to Russia initially looked on the cards with CSKA and Spartak Moscow vying for his services, while his agent recently revealed he could be tempted by a move to Roma.However, Chelsea are now the favourites to secure his signature and manager Carlo Ancelotti is hoping a deal can be completed before the World Cup finals begin.'There has been no approach from any club for Yossi Benayoun,' a Liverpool spokesman insisted today.Benayoun, who cost £5million from West Ham three years ago, grew increasingly frustrated at Anfield last season.He started 29 games but much to his displeasure he was substituted by manager Rafa Benitez on 22 occasions.The former West Ham star believes Liverpool will let him go if Chelsea offer £6million.
