Jurgen Klopp says he expects FA Cup match-winner Lucas Leiva to stay at Liverpool beyond the January transfer window.
Lucas has started only three Premier League games this season and has been linked to a January move, with Italian giants Inter Milan said to be leading the race for his signature.
But after the Brazilian's goal saw Liverpool through their third-round replay at Plymouth with a 1-0 win, Klopp said the 30-year-old is going nowhere.
Asked if Lucas was definitely staying at Liverpool, Klopp replied: "From my point of view, yes. What is 'definitely' in this job? We have a kind of agreement, so I would say yes."
Lucas -- who recently suggested he could stay until the end of the season -- captained a much-changed Liverpool side against Plymouth.
Daniel Sturridge, Divock Origi and Philippe Coutinho were all involved, but Klopp still started with four teenagers and brought another two off the bench.
Lucas' 18th-minute header from a Coutinho corner was his first goal since scoring in a Europa League tie against Steaua Bucharest in October 2010.
Lucas' winner secured a fourth round home tie against Wolves and Klopp said: "He played in an old-against-young match last week when we finished training and he was top scorer.
"I was really surprised he didn't score for that long, but he has a great personality, is a good player and a really good guy.
"Sometimes you have to line up without him, and it's not his hobby to accept this, but he's OK and really important for us."
Klopp was also delighted that Coutinho managed 65 minutes on his first start since damaging ankle ligaments at the end of November.
"Coutinho was good, he is very important for us," Klopp said. "He had 65 minutes and it was perfect intensity. It was good for him and good for us."
