Liverpool have wasted no time in initiating a much needed shake-up at the club with negotiations for Bordeaux's Marouane Chamakh and Atletico Madrid's Maxi Rodriguez believed to be in the advanced stages, while Andriy Voronin looks likely to be leaving.
And while manager Rafael Benitez appears untroubled by the potential loss of Riera, according to the Mail, the Spaniard will not allow Benayoun to leave.
Meanwhile, it seems the curtain is about to fall on another Anfield career with out-of-favour defender Andrea Dossena on the verge of a £4.5m transfer to Napoli, after his agent claimed the deal had been held up by the bad weather in the north west which closed airports in the region.
