Benayoun said: ‘I was always determined to stay at Liverpool, despite suggestions I’d be on my way — this is where my future is.’
Gareth Barry’s move to Anfield moved a step closer after he was left behind when Aston Villa headed for a training camp in Spain, although the club’s owners have yet to meet the £18m asking price.
