Midfielder Lucas Leiva keen on staying in Anfield: The 28-year-old defensive midfielder, who had been with the Reds since 2007, was said to be "very close" to leaving Liverpool during the summer transfer window as several clubs try to woo the Brazilian.
He admitted it himself during a recent press conference in Bangkok, saying, in Rodgers' presence, that he almost left Anfield for Turkish squad Besiktas when he was benched for the first two games of the season.
In the end, Leiva said that he is happy and content right now with Liverpool. He also had publicly reaffirmed his commitment to the organization during the same presser. Verdict: Fact.
Martin Odegaard eyes Liverpool move in January: The Real Madrid teenager, considered by many football analysts as the next "Messi", had long been rumored on moving to Anfield during the summer.
When the window closed, the speculations persisted and recent ones are now saying that the 16-year-old Norway international is set to do it in January.
However, official reports indicated that Odegaard snubbed the Liverpool and Manchester United offers and chose to stay at the Bernabéu instead. The young Norwegian revealed that he talked with both English clubs personally before making his final decision to remain with Rafa Benitez. Verdict: Fiction.
