Rodgers: Suarez Is Not Leaving Liverpool

New Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers has vowed to keep hold of Luis Suarez.

The Uruguayan striker, banned for eight matches last season following his race row with Manchester United's Patrice Evra, was linked with a move to Italian side Juventus.

But Rodgers has reassured Suarez, the Reds' top scorer with 17 goals last season that he is integral to his plans.

A source close to Suarez told the Sun: 'It is thought Juventus were about to offer £16million or try to broker a cash plus player deal involving Eljero Elia or Milos Krasic.

'But Rodgers has spoken with Luis to gain his confidence and explain the new project and his role in the team. Luis is calm about everything.
