Liverpool will not be selling any of their players: Brendan Rodgers

Luis Suarez

Brendan Rodgers has confirmed that Liverpool will not be selling any of their players with the season about to begin in two weeks time.

Rodgers said: “There is always a timeline where you would never sell and we are at that stage now because we’re so close to the beginning of the season.”

The Liverpool boss admitted that he was bewildered by Arsenal‘s second bid of worth £40 million and £1 intended to trigger a release clause in Suarez’s contract.

According to ESPN FC, Rodgers said: “I have to admit I was surprised by their bid of £40 million and £1. I always associated Arsenal as a club with class, so there was a wee bit of a game there.

“We will just move on and do our own work, and the message is constant – we do not want to sell. I think there will become a point when they will understand that.

“They have an interest and put that interest in with two bids that is nowhere near where what Luis would be worth. That is within their right, there is a market for players, but our message is constant.”

Rodgers looked completely satisfied with the way the Reds are being governed by their owners, as he added: “As time goes on I am gaining more confidence that he (Suarez) stay and the owners have been brilliant.

“Maybe if it was another club where they needed the money it could be a different story. They have been first class through the whole process and that fills me with confidence that they are in no hurry to sell.

“They understand that they are trying to build. There has been lots of talk but the board have been very strong.”
