Jurgen Klopp insists Xherdan Shaqiri will not be leaving Liverpool this month.
Roma and Sevilla both emerged as potential suitors to the Swiss international, whose second season at Anfield has been disrupted by a series of injuries.
To date Shaqiri has made just 10 appearances in all competitions for the Reds this term – more than half he accrued at the same stage 12 months ago.
But Klopp is adamant that the 28-year-old will not be leaving the European champions in the January transfer window and is yet to receive any offers.
He said: “For the majority of December and January we had a bench full of kids – wonderful kids, but kids.
“So how could we think about giving a player to anybody? I don’t understand that.
“It’s not about Shaq or whatever, it’s about pretty much everybody.
“That we just have to keep them for sorting our situation and not the situation for different clubs.
“If somebody would come around the corner and ask properly – which didn’t happen – maybe, if they are desperate, we think.
“But there’s absolutely no intention from our side to do anything.”
