Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers has warned Luis Suarez they hold all the cards in his transfer saga.Liverpool insist they will not be forced into selling Suarez, despite the Uruguayan stating he wants to leave.

Rodgers said: "There is no player bigger than Liverpool Football Club. That is something we are very strong on and this is something we will control.

"Football is different nowadays, the market is totally different, and players can create different ways to open it up.

"But this situation won't be controlled by the player. I am very strong on the values of the club and how we operate.

"We have been in regular contact and I will sit down with him. The bottom line is he is a Liverpool player and we have had only one bid."
