Yossi Benayoun preparing to leave Chelsea

The agent of Yossi Benayoun has confirmed that his client has started to prepare for life after Chelsea.

Benayoun will become a free agent when his contract at Stamford Bridge expires in the summer and no talks have taken place over an extension to his terms.

As a result, representative Ronen Katsav has revealed that any forthcoming offers will be considered.

"Benayoun will be a free agent in the summer and there is bound to be an interest in such a good player," Katsav told Izvestia. "Yossi is focused on his job at Chelsea to adequately complete the current season. Before his contract ends, we will consider all offers."

The 32-year-old joined the Blues from Liverpool back in 2010.
