Napoli sporting director Pierpaolo Marino insists he has have never received an offer from Liverpool for Lavezzi, and he has no intention of selling the hitman.
The Argentinean has been hotly tipped to make the move to the Premier League this summer and, according to reports, Liverpool are keen to land him.
Lavezzi's agent Alejandro Mazzoni claimed his client could be leaving the San Paolo for Anfield, but Marino has other ideas, contrary to opinions which have been expressed so far.
"I have never received offers from Liverpool, and we are not interested in receiving any," Marino told Il Corriere Dello Sport.
"I know the rules of the game, and I will not fall into the trap of commenting on something which doesn't exist.
"We have never thought about parting company with Lavezzi or [Marek] Hamsik."
Reports suggested Liverpool had made a bid for Lavezzi, only to have it turned down, but Marino's words imply that the Italian side have not been tempted by the Reds.
Lavezzi's Napoli future seems safe for now, but the speculation is likely to continue.
