Real Madrid midfielder Esteban Granero will not be leaving the Santiago Bernabeu for Liverpool in the winter transfer window, the player's representatives have revealed.
Dutch international Luuk de Jong's hopes of moving to the Premier League are hanging in the balance after it emerged that no English clubs had made a move for the FC Twente striker who has been linked with Liverpool and Newcastle.
Liverpool are eyeing Valencia winger Pablo Hernandez according to Madrid-based newspaper Marca.
Reds boss Kenny Dalglish has kept his powder dry in the current transfer window, despite admitting that he has money to spend if he so chooses.
But his side's recent performances are thought to have given the Scot pause for thought.
Liverpool have stuttered in recent weeks, drawing 0-0 at home to Stoke City two weeks ago, with Dalglish bemoaning a lack of creativity, and then going down 3-1 to a struggling Bolton Wanderers at the weekend - a performance which left the Scot fuming.
The Merseyside giants have been heavily linked with Real Madrid midfielder Esteban Granero, with a loan mooted. But Los Blancos boss Jose Mourinho has long stated that he wishes no-one to arrive or depart the Bernabeu in the current window.
Valencia winger Hernandez would add real spark and intent to Liverpool's wide play, allowing Dalglish to stretch the play and also potentially supplying Andy Carroll with further precious service.
The 26-year-old is considered one of Valencia's crown jewels however and has been increasingly key ever since David Villa and David Silva were sold by Los Che.
Hernandez is under contract at the Mestalla until 2014.
