Borussia Monchengladbach sporting director Max Eberl has stressed promising youngster Mahmoud Dahoud will not leave the Bundesliga side in the January transfer window.
The 20-year-old has been heavily linked with a move to Liverpool, while Borussia Dortmund and Manchester City have also been credited with an interest in the midfielder.
"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."
"It is the club's desire to extend his contract. We have not opened talks yet, but that will soon happen," Eberl added.
"We will have to consider our options if he only has one year left on his contract next year, but that is pure speculation at this stage."
"Young players often endure a difficult second season after impressing in their debut campaign. That is only normal," he continued.
"But we are all helping him rediscover his best form. He will soon be back to his best."
