Kenny Dalglishinsists Liverpool have not changed their stance regarding the future ofFernando Torres since rejecting a transfer request on Friday night.
The Spain striker has made it clear that he wants toquit Anfield in the wake of a failed £35million bid from Chelsea onThursday.
Sky Sports News has reported that Liverpoolcould be prepared to listen to an offer of £50m if Chelsea decide tomake an increase on transfer deadline day.
But in a pressconference prior to Wednesday's meeting with Stoke, Dalglish fiercelydenied that the club were ready to let Torres leave.
TheLiverpool manager said regarding the situation: "It is the same as whatthe club statement was two or three days ago. We will stick to that andwe won't be adding to that."
And despite a £22.8m deal for Ajaxforward Luis Suarez being struck on Friday, with the Uruguayinternational expected to complete paperwork formalities later onMonday, Dalglish insists it is not a case of one in and one out.
"We've not brought anyone in as a replacement for anyone else," said the Scot.
Theclub have not given up hope of persuading Torres to stay, althoughDalglish tellingly reiterated his concern regarding players who werenot committed to the club.
