Diouf dismisses transfer talk

Last updated : 29 July 2004 By Chris Maxwell
Liverpool are clearly eager to offload the controversial Senegal star, with Malaga and Portsmouth potental suitors for the £10m man's services, but the 23-year-old forward expects his lucrative Anfield contract to be respected by all parties.

Diouf said: "Until the manager Benitez returns from the tour of the United States and I have spoken to him face to face I will not make a definitive decision on my future.

"I think I could have a chance if he gives me an opportunity. If that is not the case I will have to go on loan for a year, but I won't give up my contract. Things have been signed and all parties have to respect that."
