Agent Kismet Eris has suggested that Liverpool striker Christian Benteke is not close to leaving Anfield.
Reports had linked the Belgian international with a move to Crystal Palace, with personal terms said to have been agreed between the player and the club.
However, Eris has told Sky Sports News that there is "nothing" in speculation linking the 25-year-old with a £30m-plus switch to Selhurst Park, with the forward still having four years remaining on his current deal.
Benteke is yet to return to pre-season training after featuring in the Belgium squad that reached the Euro 2016 quarter-finals, and no decision will be made on his future until he has spoken with manager Jurgen Klopp.
The frontman scored 10 goals in 20 starts and 22 substitute appearances for the Merseyside giants last season.
