Liverpool have failed with their bid for Barcelona attacker Cristian Tello.
The Mirror says Tello has insisted he will stay at the Nou Camp until at least January.
The highly-rated forward was also wanted by Rodgers on a one-year loan, but he has opted to stay with Barca in an attempt to force his way into the side.
Tello, 21, has confirmed he will sit tight for at least one more transfer window.
