Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish has rubbished rumours Luis Suarez could be on his way to Paris Saint Germain after the striker was quoted as saying he would be open to a move to the French capital.

Dalglish, who remains adamant the Uruguay international will not be sold in the summer despite interest from the Ligue 1 giants, dismissed the speculation and claimed Suarez's comments were taken out of context.

In a television interview with Canal+, Suarez was quoted as saying he would "love to play at the same club" as international team-mate Diego Lugano.

"Yes, I could come to Paris, like lots of other clubs. There are lots of big clubs with such a reputation who want to build a strong team and Paris are one of these teams who buy to strengthen their side," Suarez said.

However, Lugano has fallen out of favour at Parc des Princes, finding his first-team opportunities restricted following the arrival of Alex from Chelsea in January. Suarez's comments came in a feature on Lugano, and as such Dalgish believes the speculation linking Suarez with a move to Paris are unfounded.

"How much has Lugano played this year?" Dalglish responded when questioned on Suarez's comments. "I think you will find [Napoli and Uruguay striker Edinson] Cavani was also mentioned and I think you will find it was a television programme about Lugano."
