Liverpool have rejected initial approaches from Leeds United and Monaco for forward Takumi Minamino.
Both clubs expressed an interest in the Japan international, who the Reds signed for £7.25m from RB Salzburg in January 2020.
Minamino has made 18 appearances this season, scoring six goals.
The 27-year-old has scored four of those in the Carabao Cup – including a late equaliser against Leicester City in a game the Reds won on penalties.
Jurgen Klopp’s side then beat Arsenal in the semi-finals to secure a place in the final, which will be against Chelsea on Sunday, 27 February.
Minamino had a spell on loan at Southampton in the second half of last season when he scored two goals in 10 appearances.
