Yossi Benayoun has given the clearest indication yet that he may not be a Liverpool player next season.
The 29-year old Israel international admits he would love to remain at Anfield for the remainder of his career but is realistic that things are likely to change, especially with talk of a Rafael Benitez exit and the impending sale of the club to new investors.
Benayoun told reporters that : “It’s very difficult to speak now about next season,”.
“We don’t know what changes there will be – players, the staff, so I think it’s too early to speak. I don’t know personally even if I will be here or I will not be here. A lot of things can happen.
“It’s nothing to do with (Rafa Benitez’s future). I’m enjoying it here at this moment.
“If it depended on me, I would stay here and retire in Liverpool. The fans are the best in the world, but it depends on a lot of things. It will be very clear soon and we will just have to see in a few weeks.”
