Yossi Benayoun reveals that he must play regular football, casting fresh doubt over his Liverpool future.
The former West Ham player might need to consider leaving the club to play regular and competitive football.
He has made only four Premier League starts this season.
Ajax, Spartak Moscow and Manchester City are monitoring the playmaker’s situation.
“If the situation remains the same over the next few months, and I’m not getting more time in the middle, I will not want to continue as a Liverpool player,” Benayoun told Israel’s Channel Five TV station.
“The fact that I have spent so much time on the bench, while there has been a winning formula on the pitch, tells you everything.
“I hope it changes for me, because I want to stay and prove myself, but it won’t be easy.
“I know I’m at one of the biggest clubs in the world, and that there are many good players like Ryan Babel and Jermaine Pennant who sometimes aren’t even in the squad, but it’s not much fun sitting on the bench all the time.
“I always wanted to prove myself good enough for Liverpool, and I thought I did well last season to contribute so many goals and assists. But there seems to be more competition for places this time, and if I continue to be on the sidelines, I would not want to stay, even though it is Liverpool.
“Maybe I will have to accept that and start learning another language, such as Italian or French or even Russian.”
