Jose Enrique has claimed that he has no intention of being forced out of Liverpool after falling further down the pecking order at the club.

The 29-year-old defender has been repeatedly linked with a move away from Anfield after being left out of the first-team's squad preparations for the new campaign.

Despite being behind Joe Gomez and Alberto Moreno in the battle to be the side's first-choice left-back, the Spaniard insists that he wants to fight for his place.

"I'm in a difficult position," he old reporters. "The club have alienated [Mario] Balotelli, [Fabio] Borini and me.

"I have a year left on my contract and I imagine the club will want to sell, but I still want to stay and fight as I always have.

"But if a good offer came with more years of contract and more chance to play, I'd look at it."

Enrique has just one year remaining on his current deal.
