Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez has hinted Dirk Kuyt will not be leaving Anfield for Juventus.
The Dutchman had been linked with a move to the Serie A giants with reports in Italy suggesting the club were willing to spend around £30m to get his signature.
But Benitez, talking to the media ahead of Sunday's FA Cup Fourth Round tie against Everton, insists he does not want any 'senior player' leaving Anfield during the January transfer window.
And that would suggest Kuyt's immediate future remains on Merseyside as Benitez wants his more experienced players to end Liverpool's 19-year title wait.
He said: 'We are not doing anything in the transfer window.
'We are just waiting, we are receiving phone calls about our younger players going out on loan but not senior players because we need them to help us win the title.'
