"I have an enormous respect for the club. I'm very happy here, and if I don't say that, I'd be lying." Having played the full match as Liverpool were held to a 2-2 draw on Saturday afternoon, leaving Jurgen Klopp's hopes of a second title hanging by a thread, he was also aware of the recent speculation.
"Of course there are a lot of things happening off the pitch but I am focused on doing my best and end the season on a high. I started well and intend on finishing (the season) well.
What has been said about Manchester City is all stuff from the previous transfer window. Now it's about finishing the season and to wait and see what will happen."
