Dominik Szoboszlai's agent, Matyas Esterhazy, has moved to quell speculation surrounding his client's future at Liverpool, and the possibility of him joining Real Madrid this summer.
Recent reports have suggested the 25-year-old would be keen on a move to the Bernabeu, with those rumors not helped by comments from his international manager.
Marco Rossi told Spanish outlet Marca that it has always been Szoboszlai's "dream" to represent Los Blancos.
Real star Vinicius Junior also intensified the speculation when he revealed he speaks regularly with the Liverpool midfielder, who last month revealed talks over a contract extension at Anfield have not progressed.
But Esterhazy has clarified there are no plans for a summer exit.
"It’s completely normal for the public, when Dominik is performing like this, to talk about what’s next and if there’s something higher," he told Hungarian outlet, NB1.
"For us it’s not a topic. We are mid-season; he has a lot of work ahead of him in the Premier League, the FA Cup and the Champions League. He has said many times how important this competition is for him.
"So at the moment to talk about what will happen in the summer in my opinion is not correct.
"Not to mention, Liverpool are one of the biggest clubs in the world and Dominik is in a position within the team that has a lot of reserve, so we are not looking outside or elsewhere."
Szoboszlai, who has been Liverpool's best player this season by some distance, netted again on Saturday as the Reds eliminated Brighton & Hove Albion from the FA Cup.
Arne Slot admitted post-match that he sees the ex-RB Leizpig man as a future Liverpool captain, hence the club's eagerness to extend his terms.
