"It's not a surprise to read stories like this. The newspapers never rest; they are always trying to find something to write about. Obviously they had nothing to write this week so they make up more rumours," said the Reds' boss.
"We are experienced in these matters now and all we can do is remain focussed on the playing matches. Anyone who thinks Stevie is not committed to this club only has to look at his performance yesterday. It was clear to see he was really happy, before, during and after the game.
"We are constantly talking. He is the captain and so we always have a lot of conversations. These rumours are crazy. I'm not prepared to sell my captain."
