Roy Hodgson has reiterated Liverpool have no interest in selling Steven Gerrard this summer and revealed he's held an encouraging meeting with the captain.
"I have met with Steven and thought the talks were positive," Hodgson told a press conference at Liverpool's pre-season training camp in Switzerland.
"We are in a situation where we hear our players are being courted by other teams but it is all just rumours.
"What we haven't had is a club wanting to buy Steven Gerrard. Steven Gerrard is not for sale - I made that clear to him.
"I told him I supported the club's policy that we don't want to sell our best players and have to start building again.
"We want to build our team around these players. He understands that position, but clubs can get into players' ears and make promises. It destabilises the club and the players and we can't do anything about it."
