Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez has admitted his surprise at talk of a possible takeover at Anfield.
Widespread reports on Friday suggested the club were in discussions with Kuwaiti billionaire Nasser Al-Kharafi about possible investment in the Anfield outfit.
Benitez insists he knows nothing about the takeover rumours and is only concentrating on this weekend's FA Cup clash with Everton.
"I was surprised by what I saw in the press this morning, but I've just been focusing on getting my team prepared," said Benitez.
The Reds have been quiet in the transfer market so far and Benitez admits he is unlikely to do any business before the window closes.
"No we are not doing anything. We have received some phone calls about young players on loan but not really senior players because we need everyone for winning the title.
"I did not this opportunity because I have a lot of confidence in my squad so we were not looking for players we just want keep the people here happy and focused on games."
Asked if he would make any signings, Benitez added: "It would be difficult so I don't think so. We are not looking for players."
