Brendan Rodgers wants to avoid bringing players on loan this summer to Liverpool.

Nuri Sahin, Aly Cissokho and Victor Moses have come to Anfield on loans since Rodgers arrived.

"I would hope we don't have to go for loans this summer," the Reds boss told the Liverpool Echo.

"But it's always about the availability of players. If you are not satisfied with the squad and you feel you can improve it then you have to look at every option.

"In these first couple of years I've been here we have had to do that as we've had a thin squad.

"The players we wanted we couldn't get but we're hopeful that this summer will be different. We turn the page and it's another chapter in terms of where we are going.

"Hopefully that will mean it will be more permanent players than loan players but I can never rule it out completely.

"There could be a situation where a player becomes available, we can get him and he can add to what we're doing."
