Liverpool have denied claims from Dinamo Moscow that a £7 million deal had been agreed to take Yossi Benayoun to Russia.
Moscow Sporting Director Konstantin Sarsania had apparently claimed that the 29-year-old midfielder was on his way to his club.
However, the Reds moved quickly to quell those rumours on Wednesday.
"The player is not for sale, it's as simple as that," a Reds spokesman told the club's official website.
Sarsania had clamied a deal was soon to be done.
"It is true that we have come to an agreement with the player's agent," Sarsania said, according to ESPN.
"In the next two days Liverpool will make their decision.
"When we completed the signing of Andriy Voronin, consent was given by Benitez.
Now the Liverpool coach is against losing Benayoun but the decision is not his.
It is for the club directors.
The transfer of Benayoun will happen if the price is acceptable.
If they want more than we expect, the board of directors will discuss the issue."
