Benitez told reporters, however: "Steven Gerrard is not for sale. I don't want to waste my time talking about it.

"I have spoken to Steven and he knows the situation. He's a good player and people will always talk about him."

Gerrard was close to signing for Chelsea two years ago but has since signed a new contract at Anfield.
