Liverpool legend Robbie Fowler believes Bobby Duncan wants to stay.
Duncan is in dispute with the club after being blocked from joining Fiorentina.
But Fowler wrote for the Mirror: "Bobby Duncan wants to play for Liverpool. It's in his blood.
"I've met the England Under-18 striker a few times – and he is a born-and-bred Red who is driven by the dream of following in the hallowed footsteps of his cousin Steven Gerrard.
"He is also a bright, bubbly kid who is popular in the dressing room. A proper Scouser!
"I know his dad Rob very well. And I can tell you that all he wants is to see his talented teenage son banging in goals in front of the Kop.
"I am desperately sad to say that it isn't going to happen. Not unless Bobby does the right thing and issues an unreserved public apology to Liverpool Football Club."
