Liverpool's Rodgers confident there will be no summer departures

New Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers is supremely confident that no big names will leave the club this summer.

There have been some reports that a couple of high-profile Reds players may seek greener pastures due to a lack of Champions League action at Anfield but ex-Swansea City boss Rodgers is expecting to keep all the key ingredients this off-season.

"I am very confident in relation to the conversations I have had," Rodgers told Sky Sports News.

"You can only sell the dream going forward. The reality is there is a lot of nostalgia about this club, and I have seen that in my early time here, but what is important is going forward.

"Of course the club isn't in the Champions League and the top players want to play at that level, but hopefully in the next coming years we can strive to get towards that.

"If that is not enough for a player then they will go, it is as simple as that."
