They could sit tight and maintain he is n't for sale . But whether Liverpool want to risk their prized-asset entering the final year of his contract remains to be seen . Also , will Rodgers want a player who has made it clear he does n't want to stay ?

Likewise , Manchester City will be hugely interested in the forward .
