Borussia Monchengladbach sporting director Max Eberl has claimed that there is "zero chance" of Mahmoud Dahoud leaving the German club in January.
The 20-year-old has been linked to Borussia Dortmund, as well as Liverpool, who are believed to be pondering a £26m bid for the midfielder.
Reds manager Jurgen Klopp is understood to have been keeping track of the youngster over the past 12 months, but Eberl is adamant that Dahoud will be at Gladbach until the end of the season at least.
"There is a zero per cent chance that Mahmoud will leave in January," Eberl told Kicker. "There is no offer for him on the table from any club and we have not had any offers for him in the past either."
Dahoud joined Gladbach's academy in 2010 and made his first-team debut four years later.
