The Dutch star is desperate to join his old Kop boss Rafa
Benitez at Inter Milan in a £13million move.
But new Anfield manager Roy Hodgson rapped Benitez for reneging
on an agreement not to poach his old favourites.
Kuyt's agent Rob Jansen said: "The clubs continue to talk but
Dirk has told Liverpool he no longer wants to be involved as this
is something that regards his career and life.
"It doesn't mean he wants to leave at all costs but when a club
like Inter comes along it's normal to look into it further."
Hodgson is already facing a losing battle to hang on to Javier
Mascherano, with Inter faxing a £20million offer yesterday and
Barcelona also in the hunt.
And the new Anfield boss blasted: "When Benitez left the club he
signed an agreement that he would not poach players from Liverpool
and I think that still applies.
"As far as I'm concerned, the agreement with Inter president
Massimo Moratti still stands.
"We have not received an offer from any club for Dirk Kuyt, this
is obviously something going on behind the scenes with the agent
talking to possibly the manager of Inter.
"Two things. One, we don't welcome an offer and two, we haven't
received an offer.
"At this late stage in the transfer window it would be
remarkably unusual for us to accept an offer for a player we don't
want to leave for money we don't need.
"I need the player, not the money. We have not received an offer
and Dirk hasn't told me he'd want to leave if one came in."
Hodgson left Mascherano out of the defeat at Manchester City and
he is not involved against Trabzonspor tonight.
Hodgson conceded Barcelona are favourites to land the Argentine.
He added: "I don't want to force him on to the field that might
make his transfer difficult. On Sunday I'll know one way or another
if he's going to be here or at Barcelona."
