Liverpool made an enquiry for whizkid Fabio Carvalho - but were told Fulham do not want to sell.
The Reds are one of a number of clubs keen on the 19-year-old, who is out of contract in the summer.
Yet Championship leaders Fulham do not want to let the teen sensation go this month and are desperate to keep hold of him.
They see him as a key part of their promotion push and it would take an offer they could not turn down to sell him now.
