Liverpool are not entertaining the possibility of allowing midfielder Naby Keita to leave this window.
The ex-Red Bull Leipzig man is linked with a move back to the Bundesliga club.
However, The Daily Mail suggests the 27-year-old is not for sale under any circumstances.
The Reds are even willing to lose him on a free in a year, when his contract expires, rather than cash in at present.
Liverpool do not see themselves as able to sign any of their first choice midfield targets this summer.
They are chasing the likes of Borussia Dortmund's Jude Bellingham, but a move can only happen in a year's time.
