“He has got three years left on his contract, we don’t want to sell him, and we hope everything will be fine for the summer,” Rodgers told talkSPORT.
The Northern Irishman also plans to add further to his squad as he looks to improve on last season’s seventh place.
Rodgers has already signed goalkeeper Simon Mignolet, defender Kolo Toure and forwards Luis Alberto and Iago Aspas.
“We want to bring in a few more players to reinforce the group and we think we can put up a real fight next season,” he added.
Rodgers told the club website he thinks his squad has been strengthened but he still intends to improve his starting line-up.
But whether Suarez is part of that side remains unclear, with Rodgers acknowledging the forward wants to play at the highest level.
“Luis is a real competitor, a real winner,” he said.
“He wants Liverpool to do so well but, like every player, every manager, and more importantly every football club, they want to be working at the very highest level.
“At the minute he is on a break, he is relaxing with his family.”
Suarez, due back at Anfield for pre-season training on July 21, claims he has “two or three options” though he has not submitted a transfer request.
The striker told a Uruguayan radio station in May it would be “difficult to say no” to a move to Real Madrid, while Arsenal’s £30m bid for the striker was rejected this week.
The former Ajax and Groningen player has six games remaining of a 10-match ban for biting Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic in April.
But Arsenal are set to increase their bid to sign Suarez as their attempts to buy Real Madrid striker Gonzalo Higuain continue to falter.
The Gunners had a £30 million offer for Suarez rejected by Liverpool last week, but still feel that he can be prised from Anfield this summer.
Arsenal must offer £40 million for Suarez to get Liverpool to even consider selling him.
While their focus has switched to the Uruguayan, hopes of signing Higuain, plus midfielder Marouane Fellaini and goalkeeper Julio Cesar are fading.
New Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti is planning to have talks with Higuain over his role at the club next week.
Sources in Spain indicate that the 25-year-old may have a future at the Bernabeu after all and it will take a huge offer to change their minds.
Arsenal were confident they would agree a £23m deal for the Argentina striker last week, but Madrid president Florentino Perez claims no offer has been received.
It is also understood the Spanish giants’ valuation of him is much higher than £23m and he will report for pre-season training on Monday. Madrid were favourites to sign Suarez, who revealed he wanted to leave Liverpool earlier this summer having grown fed up with the English media.
But it is believed the Spanish club are not prepared to pay the £40m fee they think it will take to acquire him from Liverpool. — BBC Sport.
