Yossi Benayoun set for Dynamo Moscow as Russian club claim Liverpool star has agreed terms
Wide boy: Reds winger Benayoun
Yossi Benayoun has agreed terms to quit Liverpool for Dynamo Moscow, according to the Russian club's sporting director.
Dynamo are yet to agree a fee with the Barclays Premier League giants, but hope to settle on £7million before the end of the week.
Despite the 29-year-old being one of boss Rafa Benitez's most trusted players, details of talks between Benayoun's agent and Dynamo emerged last week.
Anfield boss Benitez would be reluctant to lose one of his most reliable performers, but with the Spaniard's own future in doubt, cash-strapped Liverpool may be keen to take the money and target other areas.
They are still looking for a striker to take the burden off injury-plagued Fernando Torres and recently sold Andriy Voronin to Dynamo for £1.2m.
The Merseysiders have already signed like-for-like player Maxi Rodriguez from Atletico Madrid, with the Argentina international able to play on the wing or through midfield.
Dynamo sporting director Konstantin Sarsania said: 'It is true that we have come to an agreement with the player's agent. 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's directors.
'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.'
Israel captain Benayoun was offered a similar move to Spartak Moscow year ago, only to sign a new Anfield deal in the summer.
Dynamo are understood to be offering him a three-year contract, with the option of a fourth year, on terms of about £40,000 a week. The significantly lower tax rate in Russia means he would receive a similar amount as his current deal.

The Russian outfit have reportedly agreed personal terms with Benayoun...
EPL: Yossi Benayoun, Fulham - Liverpool (PA)According to several reports from Russia, ambitious Russian Premier League outfit Dynamo Moscow have agreed personal terms with versatile Liverpool midfielder Yossi Benayoun.
Liverpool are being plagued by financial trouble and are keen to offload some players in order to raise funds for the purchase of a new attacker. Benayoun now appears to be the first player set to leave Anfield.
The Israeli international was previously linked with Champions League hopefuls Olympiacos, but the transfer never materialised after the Greek giants failed to agree terms with Liverpool.
Dinamo have yet to reach an agreement with the Premier League side too, but they appear to be ready to match Liverpool's €8 million asking price.
Dinamo director Konstantin Sarsania confirmed that the Russians have already agreed terms with Benayoun and expect the transfer to be completed by the end of the week. -
