Liverpool FC have insisted Dirk Kuyt is not for sale
Dirk Kuyt 300[LNB]LIVERPOOL have moved to end all speculation about Dirk Kuyt's future by firmly insisting he is not for sale.[LNB]The Holland international has been linked with a move to Inter Milan and former Reds boss Rafa Benitez, of course, is a huge admirer of Kuyt.[LNB]Rob Jansen, Kuyt's agent, revealed in a Dutch newspaper yesterday morning that his client had an opportunity to move to the San Siro.[LNB]However, Liverpool do not want to lose one of their most valuable squad members and Roy Hodgson has spoken to Inter owner Massimo Moratti on the subject.[LNB] Kuyt only signed a new long-term deal last summer and has never given any inclination that he wants to seek a new challenge.[LNB]Hodgson sees Kuyt as playing a crucial role this season and has gone on record as simply saying the former Feyenoord man is 'not for sale'.[LNB]Having been rested for Thursday night's 1-0 win over Trabzonspor, Kuyt will return to the squad for Monday's showdown with Manchester City.[LNB]With an extra 24 hours to recuperate, Hodgson - who is tracking PSV Eindhoven's left-back Carlos Salcido and striker Ola Toivonen - believes Liverpool will be in fine shape for the clash at the City of Manchester Stadium.[LNB]'We've got seven top quality players to come back,' he said. 'Thursday gave me the chance to play a number of players who don't often play for the first team.[LNB]'We were able to rest a few players from top competitive football after all they have done.[LNB]'I was especially pleased with the second half performance. Whether it's good enough to get us through over the two legs only time will tell.'
