Liverpool's managing director Ian Ayre has insisted that they will not be forced to sell their top stars despite reports linking the club with financial troubles.
Liverpools debt has increased to £87.2 million after announcing a £40.5 million loss in their annual accounts. These loss' have inspired rumours saying that Liverpool will have to sell some of their top players including star striker Luis Suarez who is currently the Premier League top goalscorer.
However, Ayre is adamant the club are under no pressure to sell anyone and that they will be looking to bolster the squad in the summer.
"We won't be selling anyone because of the financial position,' said Ayre. "If we are selling anyone, it will be because they are deemed by the manager to be surplus to his requirements and if that happens we will be replacing them and bringing new players in as we always do.
"There's no panic on our part. We feel that we are making progress and improving all the time".
"Our aspiration for the next couple of years, as the rules will dictate, is to break even and then to make a profit beyond that."
