Harry Kewell's agent has rejected claims the Liverpool winger is ready to agree a summer move to Italian giants Juventus.
The Australian is out of contract at the end of the season and, with the Reds unlikely to offer him a new deal, the former Leeds man seems certain to move on.
Juve, Sunderland and Celtic have all been mentioned as possible suitors for the 29-year-old, but the player's adviser denies a deal is close to being agreed.
'I have not spoken to anyone yet regarding a possible Bosman move for Harry,' Bernie Mandic explained.
'Harry has not spoken to anyone and there have been no discussions with anyone from Juventus.
'We are basically waiting and seeing how things go for the rest of the season. There is no need to rush into anything for Harry and we will see what Liverpool say.'
Injuries have restricted Kewell to just 108 starts in five years at Anfield, however he is currently fit but out of favour under Rafa Benitez.
However, Mandic insists his client will not struggle for work if he is allowed to leave the club as a Bosman free transfer in the summer.
'If Harry does become a Bosman I think there will be no shortage of clubs interested as Harry has shown over the years what a great player he is,' he added.
