Murphy denies contract rumours

"I returned from holiday yesterday and was extremely surprised to see a story claiming to be an exclusive suggesting a contractual dispute and doubts over my future at Liverpool," he said

"This story is not only inaccurate, it is complete fabrication. I signed a four year contract this time last summer and I have never been happier.

"I would love to stay at Liverpool for the rest of my career but as it stands I have three years left on my current contract and I'm sure that if at any point the club wants to extend beyond that they will let my advisors know.

"But at his stage we are not in talks and that doesn't concern me in the slightest."
