Liverpool have been told by Borussia Dortmund they will be wasting their time in making a bid for forward Christian Pulisic.
The 18-year-old USA international is contracted to Dortmund until 2019 and their director of sport, Michael Zorc, says there is more chance of them extending that deal than there is of selling him.
Liverpool have been reportedly linked with a move for the forward, who is already known to their manager Jurgen Klopp from their time together in Germany.

Zorc told Bild newspaper: "We have made it quite clear that we are not going to sell Christian and that we are planning with him. Liverpool can save the effort of making an offer."
The same applies for former Liverpool midfielder Nuri Sahin, even if injuries and lack of form have seen him lose his regular place lately.
"We have no intention of selling Nuri," Zorc added. "We are still planning with him."
Pulisic became the youngest US player to score in a World Cup qualifier earlier this year and he has become a regular for his national team.
While not featuring so regularly in the Dortmund starting line-up, he has nevertheless scored two goals in 10 outings this season, playing in each of the club's Champions League matches.
