Everton boss David Moyes believes selling Jack Rodwell would be like Liverpool cashing in on Steven Gerrard or Jamie Carragher.
Rodwell is a big money target for Manchester United and Manchester City.
"I am reluctant because I'm trying to build a football team not dismantle one," said Moyes. "Torres wanted to leave, Liverpool held out for the best price and reinvested the money.
"I just couldn't imagine Liverpool really wanting to sell one of their own, Steven Gerrard or Jamie Carragher, too easily.
"They have always done everything to keep them. It is the same with me, I wanted to keep Wayne. I also want to keep Jack."
