Liverpool midfielder Yossi Benayoun has revealed that he has received offers from clubs in England and Spain following his most productive season to date for the Reds.
The Israel captain has featured prominently for the Anfield side this term, contributing nine goals in all competitions. The 29-year-old netted important winners against the likes of Real Madrid and Fulham and played a total of 32 games over the course of the season.
With first team opportunities far from guaranteed under Rafael Benitez, Benayoun admits that clubs have been in touch.
However, after registering his most satisfactory campaign to date, the former Ajax youth team player has no intention of leaving Merseyside.
He is quoted as saying by Israeli radio, "This has been the best season of my career. I have played a lot of games and scored some important goals, and I am very happy with that.
"At the moment, I am a Liverpool player, and unless something surprising happens, I will remain one. But after such a good season, I have had some offers from England and Spain. You have to give that some consideration, so there will probably be some discussions with Liverpool.
"I have had a great two years at Anfield and enjoyed every minute. I have long since accepted that, with one or two notable exceptions, there is no such thing as an automatic choice at Liverpool.
"Unless you are Steven Gerrard, you are going to sit out one or two games, but that is no problem. Stevie is exceptional, and the rest of us accept that.
"The good thing is, I have been playing more, and I hope it continues that way. To be honest, it could be Real Madrid knocking on my door, and I would still rather stay at Liverpool four more years."
