Brendan Rodgers says he is in almost daily contact with Luis Suarez and is hopeful the unsettled striker will stay at Liverpool.
Arsenal are preparing a £35million bid for the Uruguay international, having already had a £30m offer rejected by the Reds.
Although Suarez has not handed in a transfer request he has publicly voiced his eagerness to quit the club; initially citing his relationship with the British media and then talking of his need to play Champions League football.
However, Liverpool manager Rodgers believes he will convince his top scorer to remain.
“We communicate in some way nearly every day either through text or conversations,” Rodgers told talkSPORT. “Luis is a real competitor, a real winner. He wants Liverpool to do so well but, like every player, every manager, and more importantly every football club, they want to be working at the very highest level.
“At the minute he is on a break and relaxing with his family. He has got three years left on his contract, we don’t want to sell him, and we hope everything will be fine.”
