Crewe first-team coach Steve Holland insists they have received "no official contact" from Liverpool over highly-rated prospect Max Clayton.
The 14-year-old midfielder, who has been with Crewe's youth programme for eight years, is reported to be interesting the Reds.
The Railwaymen would be entitled to compensation for the youngster, but Holland admits that would be "totally inadequate" compared to what they could fetch for him further down the line.
"There has been no official contact," Holland told the Sentinel. "There has been a trend in academies of aggressive recruitment by the bigger clubs.
"If you lose these players there is a compensation system in place, but it is totally inadequate compared to the figures we have received when the players have gone at the right time."
