"The media in England published a story that Rafael Benitez told me finally that I''m staying at Liverpool," Benayoun told Israeli newspaper Ha'aretz this week.
"These reports are the work of the writer's imagination because, even before the season ended, we determined that I would be staying.
"Benitez told me unequivocally that he brought me here, that I had a very good season, that he's depending on me and that there's no way I'll leave Liverpool.
"I have very good chemistry with Benitez. He loves me. He bought me. I really enjoy being with him, moreover, I had an excellent season. I even surprised myself.
"Benitez didn't want to hear and isn't prepared to hear about any possibility of letting me go at any price."
