Brendan Rodgers admits that he could come back in for Gylfi Sigurdsson if the player decided he didn't want to be at Swansea

Rodgers has an agreement in place that says he will not make the first move for players for 12 months following his departure but with Sigurdsson not being a Swansea player that could change.

He told the Mirror “When I had a chat with Huw Jenkins the other day, after I told him I was going to Liverpool, I gave him assurances that I wouldn’t be going back for any ­players. My word still stands on that. But Gylfi came to Swansea because I was the manager there.

“I actually pushed Swansea towards making an agreement with Gylfi – and they eventually did that in terms of the fee and then the salary. But ultimately it’s now down to Gylfi.

“I have told Huw that if I speak to the kid, I will make sure he definitely goes down to Swansea and speaks to the new manager, whoever that is.

“But if Gylfi is not comfortable with that and he comes back on to the market then I have to be interested.”
