Jose Enrique says he has been "alienated" by Liverpool but is confident he will play games if he stays at Anfield beyond the end of the month.
Enrique, along with Mario Balotelli and Fabio Borini, has been training away from the first-team squad over the summer after falling out of favour under Brendan Rodgers.
However, with only three weeks of the transfer window remaining, Enrique could yet remain at the club - and believes he can regain the trust of Rodgers if given the opportunity.
"I am in a difficult position," he told Spanish newspaper Marca.
"[Liverpool] have alienated Balotelli, Borini and me.
"I have a year [left on my] contract and I imagine that the club will want to [sell], but I still have the idea to stay and fight as I always have.
"If a good opportunity came with more years of contract and more options to play, I would [look into it]."
"I will not give up. Football changes from day to night - I know from experience.
"I [feel] perfect after two years with knee discomfort and Liverpool is obliged to [keep] me.
"In addition, there is only one pure left-back [at the club] and I know that if I stay I'll play.
"I want to prove [people] wrong."
Enrique is behind Alberto Moreno in the left-back pecking order at Anfield, while centre-back Joe Gomez started there at Stoke on Sunday, but the 29-year-old claims he has already rejected the chance of a move to La Liga this summer.
"I had a very good option to return to Spain," he said.
"But [it] is complicated because the economy is very different from what exists here.
"The only teams that can deal with what is paid in England are [Real Madrid and Barcelona], so I would love to stay here until my legs stop me."
