Liverpool goalkeeper Pepe Reina believes the club will keep hold of Xabi Alonso and Javier Mascherano.
Reina's Spanish team-mate Xabi Alonso has been strongly linked with Real Madrid, while Barcelona are thought to be courting Mascherano.
Reds manager Rafa Benitez has rejected speculation linking the pair with moves out of Anfield and Reina believes his manager has no plans to sell the pair as he builds a side capable of challenging for the Barclays Premier League title.

"I believe that he [Benitez] has his mind very clear and his idea in these moments is to not sell," Reina said.
"He wants to continue with a team he has known for a long time, with an already fundamented base and where we know almost everything.
"Whoever wants to touch this team or this structure [Liverpool] will have to pay a lot of money."
