Newcastle United captain Fabricio Coloccini has admitted that he is palpably aware of Liverpool's interest in him.
However, rather than entertaining thoughts of a move to Anfield in the New Year, the 29 year-old Argentina international, was keen to reiterate his desire to remain at St James' Park.
"I never wanted to pay any attention to rumours about offers from other clubs," he told reporters ahead of tonight's clash with Manchester United.
"I have experienced this at many clubs and the best thing is always to focus on your work and wait for developments.
"One of the names mentioned was Liverpool, but I haven't spoken to anybody. I don't think Newcastle are thinking about my either, either."
Having made 124 league appearances for the Magpies since arriving on Tyneside from Deportivo La Coruna, as well as collecting 34 international caps, Coloccini has clearly caught the eye of Kenny Dalglish over the course of the past few seasons.
However, it now seems as though the Liverpool boss will have to bide his time over a swoop for the Newcastle skipper, much to Alan Pardew's relief.
