Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez says he will not get frustrated with ongoing contract talks and will remain at the club.

Speculation suggests that talks regarding his new deal had broken down which points in the direction of a walk-out but the Spaniard has denied that is the case.

"My lawyers and advisors have been talking to the club's owners over the past few days about the contract and I believe that problems we have can be overcome," he said.

"I was very surprised to hear rumours that I was going to resign.

"I can assure you that I have not been considering such a move, and it was a shock to hear such suggestions.

"It needs to be clear that I was not thinking of resigning. My aim is to keep working and winning and to tell the owners that on the pitch."
