'We don't need to sell players'

1st Jul 2010 - Latest News

Martin Broughton is optimistic players like Javier Mascherano, Steven Gerrard and Fernando Torres will stay at the club this summer.

The Chairman was quizzed on the influential trio's future at Roy Hodgson's unveiling as Liverpool manager on Thursday afternoon.

He said: "I haven't personally had any conversations with them but conversations have taken place and we remain optimistic on that.

"I know there are rumours out there about the club needing to sell players. If I can just go on record again and say they are not for sale, we don't need the money. We don't have any desire or need to sell players in order to pay down the debt."

Asked if money from any player sales would be available to Hodgson for transfers, Broughton replied: "Yes, it will."
