Fernando Torres claims to be as committed to Liverpool as the day he joined the club. The Spain international, who returned to training on Monday after winning the World Cup in South Africa, has been the subject of persistent speculation this summer.
However, the 26-year-old has moved to cool reports he is ready to move on.
"I am really happy to be back, really happy to stay with all my team-mates,'' he said.
"My commitment and loyalty to the club and to the fans is the same as it was on my first day when I signed.
"I am looking forward to the challenge ahead.''
A disappointing seventh-placed finish in the Barclays Premier League, which meant no Champions League football for the forthcoming campaign, but the former Atletico Madrid star is keen to fire them back into the top four and begin challenging for trophies again.
"This is the best club in the country so the targets and expectations are always high,'' he added.
"Hopefully we can stay at our level. At Liverpool the aim is to fight for every title.
"It was difficult last season but we are sure we can improve this season.''
Torres has no intention of turning his back on the Merseysiders after one difficult campaign.
"From my first day I got the same welcome as Stevie (Gerrard) or Carra (Jamie Carragher) or players who have been here for a long time,'' he told the club's official website.
"I felt at home from the first day, I feel the fans love me and everyone knows I am really happy here and really happy to play at Anfield.
"I'm looking forward to starting the season and playing with my team-mates and for the fans.''
