Barcelona have reportedly moved to shut down rumours of a pre-contract agreement already being in place with Liverpool's Georginio Wijnaldum.
The 30-year-old is set to become a free agent in the summer when his Anfield deal expires, meaning that he is free to hold talks with foreign clubs.
Reports emerged over the weekend that Wijnaldum had finally made a decision on his future by penning terms with Barca, who are managed by his former international boss Ronald Koeman.
However, it has since emerged that Liverpool are unaware of any agreement being in place between the midfielder and Barcelona.
Barca have also seemingly denied the rumours, with sources close to the club telling Mundo Deportivo that there is "no truth" to the speculation.
While the Catalan giants have distanced themselves from the rumours, though, the same report indicates that Koeman's men have not ruled out making a move for the Dutchman.
Wijnaldum continues to be a regular for Liverpool, despite his uncertain future, having appeared in every one of the side's 29 Premier League games this season.
