The Spanish international had hinted heavily that he was on his way out of Liverpool by indicating that his lack of first team appearances had cost him his place in Spain's World Cup Squad. Morientes has also been linked with moves to Real Betis and Valencia
But his agent Gines Carvajal has scotched these reports by saying "These are only rumours made up by the press. There's nothing real - the only thing that is certain is Morientes has two years left on his contract with Liverpool."
