Dinamo: ‘Benitez and board argue over Benayoun’

(GSM) – Yossi Benayouns seems to be on the verge of leaving Liverpool. Konstantin Sarsania, Dinamo Moscow’s Sporting Director, says that Liverpool’s board is willing to let the Israeli midfielder go.

However, Rafael Benitez blocks the transfer despite the large transfer fee that is offered by Dinamo.

“It is true that we have come to an agreement with the player’s agent,” Sarsania said to Tvoi Den. “In the next two days Liverpool will make their own decision.

“When we completed the signing of Andriy Voronin, consent was given by Benitez. Now the Liverpool coach is against losing Benayoun but the decision is not his. It is for the club directors.”

It’s reported that Dinamo has offered £7 million for the 29-year-old Benayoun. “The transfer of Benayoun will happen if the price is acceptable. If they want more than we expect, the board of directors will discuss the issue.”

Benayoun, who signed a new contract at Anfield last summer, has scored seven times this season and provided four assists.
