Swansea chairman Huw Jenkins is standing firm over talk linking Brendan Rodgers with the Liverpool job, dismissing reports he will meet the club\'s owners as \'pure speculation\'. Although Rodgers had previously stated his intention to remain with the Swans, having already turned down the chance to speak with the Anfield club, it appears the Reds have not given up on the hope of talking to the Northern Irishman. Reports have suggested Liverpool are set to contact him this week but Jenkins has shrugged off the claims, saying on Monday the reports are \"pure speculation\". Ten days ago Swansea released a statement confirming they had received an official approach from Liverpool to speak with Rodgers. \"The club is pleased to confirm that Brendan has declined the current opportunity to speak to the Anfield club about the vacant position,\" it said. \"The Swansea manager is currently working hard to strengthen the squad in readiness for the new Barclays Premier League campaign.\" Speculation Wigan\'s Roberto Martinez is still seen as the front-runner, having held talks with Liverpool\'s principal owner John Henry in Miami last week. The Spaniard is due back from a Caribbean holiday on Tuesday but despite his suggestion over the weekend he would hold a press conference at which he would outline his future plans, no such arrangements have yet been made. In light of the latest speculation linking Liverpool with a move for Rodgers, Swansea issued a short statement insisting there had been no contact. \"We would like to clarify the speculation in the press surrounding our manager Brendan Rodgers,\" it said. \"We would like to confirm that there has been no contact from Liverpool and nothing has changed since our previous statement on the issue.\"
