Liverpool are planning a bid for Napoli midfielder Marek Hamsik.

The Daily Mail says the Slovakia international is on Reds boss Rafa Benitez's shopping list.

When asked about the Liverpool reports Hamsik told Pravda: "Really? That is absolute nonsense. I don't know anything about travelling to Liverpool on Sunday.

"It is still valid that I would prefer to stay at Napoli. At the moment I am not thinking about any other possibility."
