Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers insists he will not be signing Mario Balotelli this summer.
Rodgers insist he will not sign Balotelli this summer
Rodgers praised the AC Milan striker last week, which led to speculation he could sign the AC Milan striker.
The Liverpool boss has already signed Lille striker Divock Origi and Southampton's Rickie Lambert to help plug the gap left by Luis Suarez's departure, but he is adamant Balotelli will not be coming Milan to Liverpool.
"I can categorically tell you Mario Balotelli will not be at Liverpool," Rodgers told a press conference ahead of Liverpool's game against Manchester United in Miami.
"In my last press conference I was asked a question about Mario Balotelli and I talked about what a talent he was and what an excellent player he was and the next day it was wrote as if we were signing him.
"I just gave my perception of him as a player. It shouldn't be transmitted in to us signing the player."
Rodgers has used the £75million he received for Suarez to fund the signings of Lambert, Origi, Emre Can, Adam Lallana, Dejan Lovren and Lazar Markovic.
Sevilla's Alberto Moreno and Atletico Madrid defender Javier Manquillo have been linked.
Brendan Rodgers added: "We still have a few bits and pieces we would like to do to solidify the group, but there's no names or definite signings yet."
