Brendan Rodgers says Liverpool are not interested in signing Italian international forward Mario Balotelli.
The Reds boss had praised the former Manchester City man ahead of the match against AC Milan on Saturday in Charlotte, fuelling speculation in the media that Liverpool were interested in signing Balotelli as they seek to strengthen their attacking options this summer.
“I can categorically tell you Mario Balotelli will not be at Liverpool,” explained Rodgers.
“He is a wonderful player, but he is an AC Milan player. I just gave my opinion of him, but doesn’t mean I will be signing him.”
Liverpool though quite clearly need to sign a forward, something Rodgers admits is a priority, with only Rickie Lambert available as a recognised first-team centre-forward for the Guinness ICC Final against Man United on Monday due to Daniel Sturridge having flown back to England with a hamstring injury.
Youngster Kristoffer Peterson will be the only forward on the bench.
Meanwhile, Liverpool are yet to receive any bids for Pepe Reina or Lucas Leiva – who are both available at the right price, according to The Telegraph.
The Daily Mail claim Reina is interesting AC Milan, who The Daily Star report the Spanish keeper is asking for his contract to be terminated in order to allow him to leave the club.
Reina hasn’t featured at all during pre-season, and youngster Danny Ward was named on the bench ahead of him against Olympiacos in Chicago last week.

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers insists he will not be signing Mario Balotelli this summer.
Rodgers showered praise on the AC Milan striker earlier this week, which led to speculation he could sign the former Manchester City 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 swapping Milan for Merseyside.
"I can categorically tell you Mario Balotelli will not be at Liverpool," Rodgers said 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."
As well as Origi and Lambert, Rodgers has added Emre Can, Adam Lallana, Dejan Lovren and Lazar Markovic so far this summer and he admits he would like to continue his rebuilding.
Sevilla's Alberto Moreno and Atletico Madrid defender Javier Manquillo have been linked and 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."
