Liverpool have “no intention†of selling top stars such as Steven Gerrard and Fernando Torres, club co-owner Tom Hicks has said.
The Texan, who owns a majority share in the club along with fellow American George Gillett, added that under-fire boss Rafa Benitez will be backed with a “substantial” transfer budget.
The American pair caused concern among Liverpool fans last month when they put the club up for sale. However, recent comments from the duo are suggesting that both they and Benitez might be in place for some time yet.
“We have no intention of selling any of our top players and we have a substantial transfer budget in place,” said Hicks.
“There’s so much misinformation about transfer spending. It’s more than doubled under the ownership of George and myself from the previous three years and we will make a significant investment this summer. It’s really about getting the right players.”
