Brendan Rodgers says Liverpool are in 'complete control' over the future of Luis Suarez.
The controversial striker has yet again hit headlines by repeatedly declaring he is open to a move away from Anfield while on Confederations Cup duty with Uruguay.
However, Rodgers insisted the club holds the power when it comes to the striker's future.

'The club is in complete control of the situation and for me, there
is no change,' Rodgers told talkSPORT. 'I'm quite relaxed about it.
'We are in a situation where we've got a player who we don't want to lose.
'We're trying to build something here and he's a very important part of that and because of the type of player he is he will always give his best.
'I always work closely with players and listen to their point of view but the biggest word is with the club.

'Sometimes interviews get put out there and highlighted, but parts of
Luis' interviews have been about how much he loves Liverpool, but of
course that doesn't get highlighted.
'What I know is that the support Luis has had from the people here in Liverpool, the city and the football club, has been phenomenal and I know he feels that and respects that.'
The Merseyside club completed a deal on Saturday to sign Sevilla forward Luis Alberto for £6.8million, while Rodgers also confirmed the signing of Sunderland keeper Simon Mignolet was imminent.
