Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has stressed both he and defender Daniel Agger see the player remaining at the club.
Agger has two years remaining on his contract but has been the subject of two serious enquiries from Barclays Premier League champions Manchester City.
Despite Rodgers admitting a week ago that 'every player has his price and we will see where it goes' he insists Agger is one he intends to keep.
'For me there has been no big change. The first point is we don't want to sell him,' said Rodgers.
'Secondly, I believe he will be a player who will thrive in this way of working and thirdly he doesn't want to leave - which is a great help as well.
'He is a top player and I want to keep him here. Over the last couple of months we have been able to sell the project and vision to a number of senior players.
'They are very happy to move forward with it and I would expect Daniel to be the same.
'He made that clear in the very first conversation we had that he wanted to be part of our revolution here in terms of moving forward and he hasn't wavered from that in any single way whatsoever.
'Other reported clubs have made bids for him, which is natural, because he is a top player.
'But for us nothing has changed: he doesn't want to go and we don't want to sell him.'
