  CHELSEA have made a £5million bid for Liverpool's unsettled midfielder Yossi Benayoun.

  And they are quietly confident of sealing a quick deal for the wantaway Israeli, 30.

  Blues boss Carlo Ancelotti wants a creative midfielder to make up for the expected departure of Joe Cole.

  The Stamford Bridge favourite, 28, is out of contract and set to quit the Double winners on a free.

  Cole, who signed from West Ham in a £6.6m deal in 2003, has turned down a pay rise from the Blues as he holds out for a reported £120,000 a week.

  Tottenham and Manchester United are said to be tracking Cole, who insists he will not settle his future until after the World Cup finals.

  Liverpool demand £10m from Chelsea for wantaway Yossi Benayoun

  

  Playing hardball: Liverpool want £10m for Yossi Benayoun

  Liverpool will demand £10million from Chelsea for Yossi Benayoun in a bid to put them off a move for the Israeli.

  Sportsmail revealed Chelsea's interest last month but, despite needing cash for players, manager Rafa Benitez does not want to sell to their main rivals and would prefer Benayoun to move abroad with another £6million offer already on the table from Spartak Moscow.

  The problem for Benitez is that Benayoun, 30, wants the move to Chelsea and will push for a deal to be done.

  Aston Villa have also shown interest as they weigh up possible replacements for Manchester City target James Milner.

  Ironically, Milner is a player that Benitez would like to sign but can't afford with his current budget.

  I believe Liverpool is trying to increase its transfer budget :D

  Anyway, if Chelsea really gets Benayoun for 5M, it'll be quite a good buy.  10M is honestly quite overpriced.
