Jose Enrique will spend the rest of the season at Liverpool after a proposed return to Newcastle fell through on Deadline Day, according to Sky sources.
The 30-year-old spent four years at St James' Park before a £5m move to Anfield in August 2011, but has made only 76 league appearances for Liverpool in the four-and-a-half years since.
Newcastle boss Steve McClaren was keen on bringing the full-back to the North East to further boost the Magpies' relegation fight after signing Henri Saivet, Jonjo Shelvey and Andros Townsend for around £29m while landing Seydou Doumbia on loan from CSKA Moscow on Deadline Day.
However, Enrique, who is well down the pecking order under Jurgen Klopp, failed to agree personal terms with his former club and he will stay at Anfield until the summer.
