Rafa Benitez’s summer transfer plans could be frustrated by players keen to kickstart their stalled Anfield careers.
The Reds boss was hoping to generate funds in the close season by offloading fringe players like Andriy Voronin and Andrea Dossena.
But after yesterday’s announcement by Voronin that he intends to return to “conquer the Premier League, Dossena’s agent has now claimed his client is happy to stay and fight for his place.
The defender was widely expected to return to Serie A, with Juventus his most likely suitors.
But agent Roberto La Florio said: “I have not met (Juventus sporting director) Alessio Secco and I don’t have an appointment set up with him in the near future.
“At this time I don’t know if Dossena will join Juventus.
“In any case the lad (Dossena) is also happy at Liverpool.”
Dossena has had a mixed start to his Liverpool career, starting six of the first eight matches of the season, but then finding his senior appearances less frequent, although he hit back to score goals against Real Madrid and Manchester United.
Next season he could find himself competing for a starting place with impressive Argentinian youngster Emiliano Insua and Brazilian star Fabio Aurelio.
