Malaga confirm Yossi Benayoun interest

Malaga general manager Vicente Casado has revealed that the club are interested in signing former Chelsea midfielder Yossi Benayoun.

The 33-year-old, who confirmed his interest in a La Liga switch earlier this week, had been training with Queens Park Rangers, but failed to agree a permanent contract.

"We are in contact with some interesting players. One of them is Benayoun, but he's not already signed," Casado told La Opinion de Malaga.

"He is a non-EU player and if he comes, one of the other non-EU players, Weligton, [Roberto] Chen or [Pedro] Morales, should leave."

Benayoun has previously played in Spain for Racing Santander.
