Liverpool general director Christian Purslow has revealed Emiliano Insua is keen to remain at the club.

Recent speculation has linked the 21-year old left-back with an Anfield departure but Purslow said that there was a high chance he would stay a Reds player despite plenty of interest from Italian clubs.

"At this moment the only objective of the club is to find a new coach and then evaluate the whole roster of players with him," he told calciomercato.com.

"I cannot confirm the interest of Fiorentina for Insua, even if in Italy he is highly regarded, for example at Lazio who last season often came to view him in person.

"I don't think the player wants to leave Liverpool. When and where he'll do this request, regardless of the difficulties of the club, we'll talk.

"I exclude at the moment that everything can be resolved within a few days."
